The ocean development industry (ocean development industry) refers to the development industry to utilize the resources, energy and space possessed by the vast ocean, including development of resources and energy, development of resolution city, Line installation.
As marine development takes place in harsh natural conditions such as water pressure, waves, and limited visibility, offshore structures and water equipment are subject to natural disasters such as submarine collisions, It is more harmful than the land environment. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare a technology that can prevent or minimize it.

The expanding compound (40A3) is made by mixing sodium azide and iron oxide. Sodium azide (NaN3) is a substance used to instantaneously inflate an airbag in a vehicle, consisting of a compound of sodium (Na) and nitrogen (N). Sodium azide does not ignite at temperatures as high as 350 ° C and does not explode even when exposed to external impacts.
However, when a compound called iron oxide (iron oxide) is mixed, instantaneous high heat is generated upon explosion of the ignition device, resulting in flame. Sodium azide contains 65 percent by weight of nitrogen, which is decomposed within tens of milliseconds by the flame generated by ignition, producing a large amount of nitrogen gas. The generated nitrogen gas inflates the
