PhosphaTania, or X-Phosphazene: Y-Titania, is an additive that enhances the performance of fire retardants used in commercial applications. It improves the efficiency of these retardants and helps to reduce the spread of flames in case of a fire. It is widely used in various industries to provide better fire protection for products and structures.
The hypothesis for successful peat fire suppression is that using a method that extinguishes peat fires is at least 50% more effective than the conventional method of using water. This means that the new method should be abel to put out the fire faster and more efficiently, reducing the risk of the fire spreading and causing more damage.
1) Improves the Efficiency of Fire Retardants
Phosphatania improves the efficiency of fore retardants by creating a phosphorus and titanium-based protective layer that can absorb heat and release water molecules to prevent the spread of flames. This mechanism reduces the heat and oxygent supply to burning surface, limiting the spread of fire.
2) Fire Safety Improvement
The technology can save lives during fire outbreaks by improving the performance of fire retardants reducing the spread of flames and potentially limiting the damage caused by the fire, giving people more time to escape the affected area.
The research team collaborated with an industry partner to combine PhosphaTania with other ingredients to create Flamoff BLOCK, a prototype that is effective for fire suppression. The product is suitable for use during the dry season and for land maintainance, is user-friendly. cost-effective, and can be implemented quickly. making it an ideal solution for fire protection.
