Fire Suppression Systems
There are several different types of fires uppression systems available. Halon seems to be one of the most common. My question is will Halon use be allowed in the near future? I know that Halon is no longer manufactured but it is recycled.
Thanks for any feedback.

All the information I've seen supports what you stated about it not being manufactured.
Halotron is the 'replacement'. It functions in much the same way, but has a lower CFC content or something (I'm obviously not a chemical engineer). Still leaves no residue and evaporates upon release.
All of the fire supression manufacturers are now offering Halotron as essentially a direct replacement for Halon. If you do a search on google for 'halotron', you'll find a ton of info.
As far as systems go, you can do everything from a small handheld unit (I have a 2.5 pound halotron unit in my car) to a full-blown large canister automatic supression system with multiple nozzles mounted in the car.
