Halogenated gaseous extinguishing agents have a corrosion risk because, when they are discharged, they can break down and form acidic halogen compounds (like hydrogen halides). These byproducts attack metal piping and fittings, making corrosion a concern with Halon systems. In contrast, CO2 and inert gas systems are chemically inert and do not produce such corrosive byproducts, so they don’t pose the same piping corrosion issue. That’s why the system described is associated with corrosive effects on piping.
