Pressure activatable chemiluminescent system useful for covert intrusion detection
View Patent ↗This invention is directed towards chemiluminescent systems useful in the practice of methods of intrusion detection, compositions useful for intrusion detection and methods for their formation, and to covert intrusion detection techniques and compositions therefore containing an infrared light generating chemiluminescent system, blended into an earthen-like carrier that enable one to detect whether any movement has breached an area during a certain time frame.
1. A process for forming a chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition comprising:
dissolving about 0.15 grams of Brown HT dye in about 35 grams of water to form a colored solution;
adding the colored solution to about 85 grams of corn starch to form a brown colored earthen-like paste;
drying said brown colored earthen-like paste to less than about 5% water by weight; dissolving about 0.0211 grams of didecycloxyviolanthrone in about 14 grams of propylene glycol dibenzoate to form a first reactant composition;
adding said first reactant composition to said dried brown colored earthen-like paste;
mixing about 1.7 grams of 50% hydrogen peroxide with about 14 grams of triethyl citrate to form a second reactant composition;
adding said second reactant composition to said dried brown colored earthen-like paste; and
adding, at the desired time of use, about 4 grams of bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate;
whereby an infrared light emitting covert intrusion detection composition is formed.
2. The process for forming a chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition in accordance with claim 1 wherein said bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate is microencapsulated.
3. The process for forming a chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition in accordance with claim 2 wherein said bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate is microencapsulated by slurrying it in a polyvinyl butyrate encapsulating agent dissolved in ethanol, subsequent to which the slurry is spray dried, after which the ethanol is allowed to flash off and harden the polyvinyl butyrate and form a coating over the bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate.
4. A process for forming chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition comprising:
dissolving about 0.15 grams of Brown HT dye, about 0.026 grams of Red Dye #40, about 0.025 grams of Yellow Dye #5, and about 0.179 grams of Blue Dye #2 in about 35 grams of water to form a colored solution;
adding the colored solution to about 85 grams of corn starch to form a brown colored earthen-like paste;
drying said brown colored earthen-like paste to less than about 5% water by weight;
dissolving about 0.042 grams of didecycloxyviolanthrone in about 14 grams of propylene glycol dibenzoate to form a first reactant composition;
adding said first reactant composition to said dried brown colored earthen-like paste;
mixing about 1.7 grams of 50% hydrogen peroxide with about 14 grams of triethyl citrate to form a second reactant composition;
adding said second reactant composition to said dried brown colored earthen-like paste; and
adding, at the desired time of use, about 4 grams of bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate;
whereby an infrared light emitting covert intrusion detection composition is formed.
5. The process for forming a chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition in accordance with claim 4 wherein said bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate is microencapsulated.
6. The process for forming a chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition in accordance with claim 5 wherein said bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate is microencapsulated by slurrying it within molten paraffin and then spray drying the slurry and allowing the molten paraffin to harden and form a coating over the bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate.
7. A chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition comprising in combination:
a colored solution containing about 0.15 grams of Brown HT dye dissolved in about 35 grams of water to form a colored solution;
about 85 grams of corn starch;
about 0.0211 grams of didecycloxyviolanthrone dissolved in about 14 grams of propylene glycol dibenzoate to form a first reactant composition;
about 1.7 grams of 50% hydrogen peroxide dissolved with about 14 grams of triethyl citrate to form a second reactant composition; and
about 4 grams of bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate.
8. The chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition of claim 7 wherein said bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate is microencapsulated.
9. The composition of claim 8 wherein said bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate is microencapsulated by slurrying within a solution of polyvinyl butyrate dissolved in ethanol, subsequent to which the slurry is spray dried, after which the ethanol is allowed to flash off and harden the polyvinyl butyrate and form a coating over the bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate.
10. A chemiluminescent earthen-like covert intrusion detection composition comprising in combination:
about 0.15 grams of Brown HT dye, about 0.026 grams of Red Dye #40, about 0.025 grams of Yellow Dye #5, and about 0.179 grams of Blue Dye #2 dissolved in about 35 grams of water to form a colored solution;
about 85 grams of corn starch to form a brown colored earthen-like paste;
about 0.042 grams of didecycloxyviolanthrone dissolved in about 14 grams of propylene glycol dibenzoate to form a first reactant composition;
about 1.7 grams of 50% hydrogen peroxide dissolved with about 14 grams of triethyl citrate to form a second reactant composition; and
about 4 grams of bis(2,4,5-trichloro-6-carbopentoxyphenyl) oxalate.
