Abstract

COMBUSTION INHIBITOR LIQUID. COMBUSTION INHIBITOR CHEMICAL THAT ACTS ON MATERIALS ABSORBING OR HAVING POROSITY CHARACTERISTICS SUCH AS FABRICS, WOOD, PAPER, ETC. ITS CONSISTENCY IS LIQUID AND WITH PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS VERY SIMILAR TO THOSE OF WATER, INHIBITING COMBUSTION THANKS TO TWO ESSENTIAL MECHANISMS: 1 THE FORMATION OF CRYSTALS IN THE INTERMOLECULAR SPACES OF THE MATERIALS TREATED; 2 THE FORMATION OF A FILM, IN CONTACT WITH THE HEAT WITH THE PRODUCT WHICH HAS BEEN APPLIED TO VARIOUS MATERIALS EXPOSED TO FIRE. THE SAID PROPERTIES OF THE PRODUCT ARE BASICALLY DERIVED FROM ITS SALTS AND MINERALS COMPONENTS.

Description

COMBUSTION INHIBITING LIQUID

  The present invention relates to a combustion inhibitor liquid.

  In the country of the plaintiff, as well as in the United States, Germany and other countries, various products have been developed, which have led to the belief that the possibilities presented by a large number of products, Product "of the plaintiff being the reflection of the same concern that finally materializes as regards its function, its application and the specific materials on which it can be used.

  The product of the present invention is a fuel inhibitor

  tion, since it forms crystals in the intermolecular spaces of treated materials exposed to fire, as a result of the salts and minerals which compose it, which crystallize, have the property of being refractory

  heat and, thanks to a process of polymerization, forms a pel-

  permeated by heat on the surface of the product applied to the various materials exposed to fire, allowing the treated material to be isolated

  ambient air and, consequently, the oxygen necessary for its combustion.

COMPOSITION AND METHOD

  COMPOSITION Ingredients Quantity (1) Sodium monophosphate 200 g (2) Ammonium sulphate 150 g (3) Borax or boric acid 50 g (4) Filtered water 1 liter Stage 1 Mixed in 1/2 liter of filtered water - the component N 1 until its total dissolution, and in the same way and consecutively, one makes of

  even with components 2 and 3, in the same mixture the three components

  until they are fully incorporated.

  Stage 2 The mixture is allowed to stand at temperature, humidity and pressure

  average ambient, for 18 hours.

  Stage 3 At the end of the previous stage, add 1/2 liter of the filtered water

  remaining. Finally, we obtain a liquid with a density of 20 degrees Balm, similar in appearance to water and miscible in it, giving an approximate yield of 16 m2 / liter. It should also be noted that bactericidal products can be added,

  what is obtained by adding 10g of disinfectant such as the bacterial product

  known as "FOLIDOL" powder, for one liter of liquid

of the product object of the invention.

  It is also possible to develop products containing "the

  inhibitor product of the applicant "and which retain their property of inhibition

  burners, by being applied to another product, for example: paints, a carpet shampoo (which will be described below), etc., carpet shampoo in which 30 g of white soap are slurried in a solution 25 g of sodium carbonate per liter of water, incorporating once cooled, the mixture of 20 g of alcohol and the bases of the "Product" in the order mentioned above, as well as

  than gasoline according to the manufacturer's specifications.

  Application: Due to its solubility in water, its application to different materials varies with regard to its density, in a

  range from 5 to 24 degrees Baumé depending on the treated material.

  The product object of the invention can be applied to the various materials by spraying, by means of an air gun; applied by means

  rolls or a silk brush; immersion, immersing the material

  etc., the process or processes to be used depending on a large number of

  of the characteristics of the materials to be treated.

  It should be noted that the object to be treated by this product must be

  perfectly dry so that it can act, otherwise it can not

  will not have the property of a combustion inhibitor. Similarly, the minimum time

  The drying time will depend primarily on the physical characteristics of each material being treated, it being understood that the longer the time before exposure to fire

  will be long, the better will be its action on the treated material.

  MATERIALS ON WHICH THE PRODUCT MAY BE APPLIED

  The product object of the invention can be applied to the surfaces of absorbent materials or having physical characteristics of

  porosity and also during the manufacture of some of them.

  It is worth mentioning some of the materials on which this product can be applied, we will name their names below, pointing out that the application-is not limited to these materials but that it can be used on the vast majority of materials with characteristics included in those distinguishing the materials mentioned below - all synthetic fibers - debarking or unbroomed foam rubber - Carpets - Polyurethane - Wood chips Wood or plaster plywood and cardboard - Fabrics in general - Wood in general - Paper in General - Liege

- Cartons and cartonnages, etc ...

CONDITIONS OF ACTION AND DURATION

  The product object of the invention acts as indicated above, insofar as the treated material is perfectly dry, and consequently,

  when the molecular crystals are formed and the formation of the pel-

  fuse by fusion under the effect of heat on this product is conducted to good

  end under the usual conditions of pressure, temperature, atmospheric

  of humidity in which fire damage occurs

treated materials.

  Under the ambient conditions of pressure, temperature, atmospheric air and humidity, the properties of the product which is the subject of the applied invention are not deteriorated, deformed or eliminated, the protection being

  effective at any geographical latitude and longitude.

  It should be noted that this property will disappear on materials such as for example tissues after washes, because of the solubility in

the water that the product presents.

  CHARACTERISTICS OF MATERIALS AFTER TREATMENT:

  In general terms, it can be said that the apparent physical characteristics of the treated products remain unalterable with regard to the color and consistency of the materials; this depends on the correct application of the product with regard to the amount required on the surface, as well as the specific porosity of each treated material.

POSSIBLE ADVANTAGES

  - Increases the duration and resistance of certain materials like

the paper.

  - Fix the applied colors on the treated materials.

  - There is no flame on the materials treated during the exhibition

fire.

  - The gases released by the materials treated in contact with the fire are not generally considered as toxic and even the toxicity of the gases of certain materials such as foam rubber

in combustion is diminished.

  - Decrease the cost of production and, consequently, decrease

the sale price.

  - raw material available on the national market; without the need to take out of the country's currencies, neither for the compounds nor for the

the final elaboration.

  DIFFERENCES WITH SIMILAR PRODUCTS

  As mentioned above, there exist in various countries, including that of the Applicant, prior compositions resulting in chemicals which, in general, fall only under the rubric of products retarding fire, while the product object of the invention of the applicant has the characteristics of a fluid

inhibitor of combustion.

Example I

  Cut a piece of crepe paper of any size,

  in this case 20 x 20 cm, which is sprayed with a spray bottle beforehand.

  filled with 7 degrees Baumé by applying uniformly

  the surface of the paper, about 5 cm3 of the product allowing it to dry perfectly

  approximately 6 to 8 hours under ambient conditions.

  Subsequently, the treated material is exposed directly to a direct flame, and it is noted that it does not ignite or propagate.

not fire the rest of the material.
