Abstract
The ban on the production of the fire suppressant CF3Br has created a need for replacement agents. Obvious alternatives are other halogenated hydrocarbons, and much research has recently been devoted to understanding their relative performance and inhibition mechanisms. However, an agent with all of the desirable properties of CF3Br is proving difficult to find. Consequently, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is undertaking research to identify new chemical suppressants and understand the mechanisms of inhibition of known agents, particularly those which have shown strong inhibiting effects.Proceedings Title
