25230135, 252 2, 106 1811, 106493, 524547, 524560, 524562, 524563, 524565, 524566, 524567, 524606, 524609, 524715
Abstract:
A colorized fire retardant composition comprising a fire retardant and a colorant, wherein the colorant is an aqueous dispersion of a pigment formed by polymerizing at least one monomer in the presence of at least one dye. The composition is particularly useful in combating and controlling fires by discharging the composition towards the fuel, or potential fuel, of a fire.

US Patent:
6676858, Jan 13, 2004
Filed:
Dec 26, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/032595
Inventors:
Howard L. Vandersall - Upland CA
Gary H. Kegeler - Diamond Bar CA
Assignee:
Astaris LLC - St. Louis MO
International Classification:
C09K 2100
US Classification:
252602, 252 7, 252603, 252607, 252610
Abstract:
Colorized fire retardants, and methods of making and using the same, are provided that include an uncolored or minimally colored fire retardant composition and a colorant. The colorant is an aqueous dispersion, slurry, or suspension that includes an insoluble, non-fugitive pigment, e. g. , red iron oxide or titanium dioxide. The aqueous dispersion pigment is added to the uncolored or minimally colored fire retardant composition at a time proximate to discharging the retardant onto the fuel. Accordingly, a user has control over the type and amount of colorant added to the fire retardant composition.

International Classification:
C09K 2104
US Classification:
252603, 252607, 106 1811, 106 1828
Abstract:
Corrosion-inhibited fire retardant compositions and methods of making and using the same are provided. The corrosion-inhibited fire retardant compositions are comprised of at least one fire retardant component, a suspending agent, and a corrosion inhibiting system. The corrosion inhibiting system is comprised of at least one corrosion inhibiting compound selected from a group of compounds including azoles, insoluble ferric pyrophosphate, soluble ferric pyrophosphate, ferrous oxalate, ferric citrate, ferrous sulfate, ferric ammonium citrate, insoluble ferric orthophosphate, soluble ferric orthophosphate, ferric ammonium oxalate, ferric ammonium sulfate, ferric bromide, ferric sodium oxalate, ferric stearate, ferric sulfate, ferrous acetate, ferrous ammonium sulfate, ferrous bromide, ferrous gluconate, ferrous iodide, ferric acetate, ferric fluoroborate, ferric hydroxide, ferric oleate, ferrous fumarate, ferrous oxide, ferric lactate, ferric resinate and any combination thereof.
