The document discusses the manufacturing process and properties of clean agent hand portable fire extinguishers.

The shells undergo a cold deep draw process to form seamless cylinders and are then treated and coated for corrosion resistance.

The extinguishers use HFC-236fa agent which is electrically nonconductive, residue-free and has a LOAEL of 15% making it relatively non-toxic. It discharges as a liquid and is effective from 4-16 feet.
