ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The most extensive disasters nowadays which damage our global environment and threaten life are forest fires occurring every summer, (every year), by which more and more greenery is destroyed and life is endangered. The destruction of forests and elements of life by fires leads to ecological damage.
Extensive fires also result in abandonment mountainous areas by populations moving to plains and large cities which is connected with increases in water consumption, resulting to biological damage and to water balance alterations which may result to changes in face of the Planet. These changes of habitat has resulted to in the abandonment of the vast mountainous areas which largely control the water balance and the biological action on Earth.
There is need to improve fire fighting for survival. Man is rather weak in this area despite all transport means available for quenching water: aeroplanes, helicopters, ships, truck-tankers. The materials in use for fire fighting are water and carbon dioxide applied by all transport and delivery means mentioned, which are continuously improved but are not that successful to face the increase in fire damage. Additionally it has been scientifically proven that by bringing small quantities of water on the fire edges could be a successful fire fighting approach.
We have extensively studied the problem of fire fighting and have worked to advance products and techniques which lead to successful fire fighting. This original, highly profitable approach has been derived from our conviction that solutions providing for adding products to fire edges products that can release much water, by which the fire is very effective faced. In case where these products are organic and destroyed by burning their remains could secure non-inflamability in the area involved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
We have worked extensively to fulfil the above, and by R & D work we have developed original and most profitable products for that purpose. We have also advanced proper techniques leading to successful fire fighting. The products we have developed are derived from market polymers or from recycled polymers, which by successive processing become stable macroplegmatic and polar groups at high density are introduced with which the polymers acquire the capacity to absorb water up to 300 times there weight in which water is kept endomolecularly and the water is held thus very strongly. Great strength is needed to be applied to remove the water.
These products are easily suspended in water in pure form or with selective additives according to needs. The products which can be added as improvements are: detergents, emulsifiers, adhesives, products which do not burn such as carbonates, sulphates, silicates etc., so that the coverage of use can be highly expanded.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The polymeric products that endomolecularly absorb water up to 300 times are directed to the fire edges where they are burned, thereby releasing much water to fight the fire immediately and on a wide front. That result has been proven in wide practice with very successful results in speed of action, in difficult fire control and in wide coverage. The following describes some results of these applications.
a. Water to fight fire contains 2% polymeric material, 1% pulverized calcium carbonate and 0.5% detergent. This was used to fight a wood fire. A very rapid cessation of fire was observed and no fire could develop for 120 minutes.
b. Water to fight fire containing 1% polymeric material 1% pulverized calcium carbonate was used to fight fires developed in a forest. The fire ceased in a very short time and the area where the water solution was thrown did not retain firing ability.
c. Water was prepared containing in emulsion 2% polymeric material, 0.1% detergent and 1% starch to ensure emulsion stability. This was used to fight fires developed in car tires. The cessation of fire was rapid and there was no new fire could be developed in those tires.
d. After these successful trials, fire fighting from an airplane was demonstrated. The water containing 1% polymeric material by weight was thrown on the fire, followed by the very impressive result that the fire ceased quickly in a wide are, and the forest treated with the thrown solution did not show efficiency to develop a new fire.
The originality and the importance of our invention, dealing with a problem of survival in our planet, is evident. It shows high potential in dealing with fires. It makes a first such possibility to face efficiently the fires in city life, out of cities, in forests, in cultivated areas and everywhere in everyday life.
