Abstract: An aqueous, resinous solution of a curable, polymeric reaction product, the cured polymeric flame resistant coating and methods for producing them are provided. The solution is formed by direct reaction or prepolymer reaction and chain extension reaction of a methylol and/or hydroxyl-containing quaternary phosphonium compound, divalent nitrogen-containing compound and a heteroatom-containing compound. A nitrogen-containing compound has at least 2 active hydrogen and/or methylol radicals. The direct or prepolymer reaction has present a tertiary amine.

Abstract: Compositions and methods for retarding and extinguishing forest fires and ground fires by dropping air-activated foam compositions comprising 1% to 80% hydrocarbon surfactants, 0.1% to 6% by weight foam stabilizers, 0% to 30% by weight of solvents and 1% to 98.9% by weight of water.

Abstract: This invention relates to a water barrier gel composition comprising from about 0.1 to 5% by weight of water absorbent material and from about 95 to 99.9% by weight of water, based on the weight of the total composition, and a method of applying a layer of said water-barrier gel composition to a surface to prevent ignition or to protect the surface from heat damage.
