  • Patent number: 8715540
    Abstract: The present invention provides combined property, dual-action aqueous and dry compositions for application to a material, such as conventional Gypsum Wall Board, ceiling tiles, joint compounds, concrete and other interior building materials, prior to an exposure of the material to fire, or prior to, during or after exposure of the material to conditions favorable to the growth of microbes, and related methods. When compositions within the present invention are properly applied to a material prior to the material being exposed to fire, or prior to, during or after the material being exposed to conditions favorable to the growth of microbes, these compositions have the effect of reducing the amount of burning that occurs to the material, and/or reducing the amount or density of smoke and associated toxic gases produced by the material, when the material is exposed to fire.

  • Patent number: 7767010
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions for application to a material, such as building materials, prior to an exposure of the material to fire, or prior to, during or after exposure of the material to conditions favorable to the growth of microbes. When compositions within the present invention are properly applied to a material, they have the effect of reducing the amount of burning that occurs to the material, and/or reducing the amount or density of smoke and associated toxic gases produced by the material, when the material is exposed to fire, and inhibiting the growth of microbes on the material when the material is exposed to conditions favorable to the growth of microbes. The invention also provides methods for reducing the burning of a material that is exposed to fire, and for inhibiting the growth of microbes on a material exposed to conditions favorable to the growth of microbes.

  • Publication number: 20030132425
    Abstract: A process for the single application of one (1) to ten (10) treatments of a penetrating aqueous chemical composition to impart the combined properties to retard fire and inhibit mold growth on Gypsum Wall Board, Ceiling Tiles, Joint Compounds, Concrete, Wood or Manufactured Wood products and other porous interior building material surfaces. The primary embodiment consists of a composition containing Potassium based salts, a Boron containing compound, a registered commercial mold inhibitor and a surfactant, all of which are compounded as an aqueous solution of the chemicals. Other embodiments in addition to the above can include, but are not limited too, inorganic and organic salts of Alkali Metals, such as, but not limited to, Potassium, Sodium, Lithium, Magnesium, Carbonates, Acetates, Phosphates, Citrates, Lactates or Urea, Halogens, Ammonia or any combination of these materials.
