What is the meaning of HCFC fire extinguisher?

HCFC fire extinguishers use hydrochlorofluorocarbons as the extinguishing agent. These chemicals are effective at suppressing fires, particularly in electrical and flammable liquid scenariOS, without leaving residue. However, HCFCs are being phased out due to their ozone-depleting properties, making them less common in newer fire safety equipment. As a result, alternatives like HFCs or inert gases are increasingly favored for fire suppression.
