Flame inhibition by bromine compounds

Natural polymers, wood and lignocellulosic materials

“…33 Fire retardants based on boron compounds give a longlasting protection due to their deep penetration into wood. 16,41 It is well-known that halogens such as chlorine and bromine are efficient inhibitors of the formation of free radicals, but a large content of them (15-30% by weight) is necessary to reach efficient level of fire retardancy. Moreover, boron com-pounds have fungicidal 34 and insecticidal 16 properties.…”

Construction of an exploratory list of chemicals to initiate the search for halon alternatives

“…Petrella and Sellers [101] had previously used a similar apparatus to investigate the extinction of propane diffusion flames. The gaseous fuel flowed from a round tube into the oxidizer coflow.…”

McHale, E.T., "Suivey of Vapor Phase Chemical Agents for Combustion Suppression; Fire Research Abstracts and Reviews, vol. 11, pp [90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101][102][103][104]1969. This compound has been tested as an anesthetic and the reported ADSO (the dose at which 50% of the test animals are anesthetized) is 20%.…”
