Abstract: A non-toxic, and environmentally safe additive, a method of manufacture, and application thereof. The additive is comprised of a mild aqueous acid solution including halogen acids, elemental aluminum, a transition metal, such as chromium (III) and water, such as tap water or sea water. The additive can be applied to wood, wood-based products, textile, plastics, wallboards, paper and paper products, paints and coatings, insulation materials, cement and asphalt, or any materials that are organic or inorganic that are either porous or can be mixed with other liquid based materials, and serve as an effective fire retardant, heat, fungi, and insect resistant as well as a strength enhancer. The additive can be produced in either a liquid or solid form, or any form ranging from liquid to solid.

Abstract: An activated silicon-containing aluminum complex explosion and flame-proofing agent containing minor amounts of hydrogen, silicon, oxygen and hydrogen, the silicon being present in amounts of at least trace and having a hexagonal structure; the ratio oxygen and hydrogen in the complex usually being 16:18 and the process for making such complex comprises the steps of treating substantially pure aluminum with acid, then with mercury, then with a halogen acid again to form a slurry. The same slurry is then treated with liquid oxygen and changing the oxygen-hydrogen ratio to 20:18. The same slurry is then dried to crystalline form which, when diluted and added to flammable liquids, like alcohol, acetone, gasoline, petroleum-products, jet-fuel etc., make them explosion and flameproof. If diluted in the required proportion and applied on paper, paper pulp, cellulose pulp, plywood, clothing, textiles and any structurally porous material, it makes them flameproof.

Abstract: An activated silicon-containing aluminum complex for oxidizing and deodorizing purposes, as a byproduct of the previously patent application Ser. No. 07/442,799 relating to an Explosion and Flame Proof Activated Silicon Containing Aluminum Complex. The said newly developed oxidizing and deodorizing complex contains aluminum, hydrogen, oxygen, minor amounts of halogen, and silicon. The silicon being present in amounts of at least trace and having a hexagonal structure; the ratio oxygen and hydrogen in the complex is in equal proportion, forming a peroxide group. The process of attaining such a complex comprises the steps of treating substantially pure aluminum with acid, then with mercury, then partially submerging in a halogen acid in order to create a growth of the said complex on the air-exposed part of the such treated aluminum. The growth when added to bacteria induced odor producing substances eliminates the odor.

The slurry is then applied on paper, paper pulp, cellulose pulp, plywood, clothing, textiles and any structural porous material for flame-proofing same. Coincidentally, when applied to certain toxic compounds and complexes in a certain way, it renders them non-toxic.
