Biodegradable suspension forming compositions
A fire suppression composition includes starch, a pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent, and hydrophobic agglomerating material.
1. A powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition comprising;
35-65 wt % starch;
25-55 wt % pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent; and
0.1-10 wt % hydrophobic agglomerating material.
2. The powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition according to claim 1 wherein the composition forms a suspension composition when added to water, whereby the composition clings to a surface positioned in any orientation, and forms an exterior intumescent char coating upon fire contact.
3. The powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition according to claim 1 further comprising clay.
4. The powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition according to claim 1 wherein the pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent comprises polyacrylate.
5. The powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition according to claim 1 wherein the powdered composition comprises;
40-60 wt % starch;
30-50 wt % pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent;
1-5 wt % hydrophobic agglomerating material.
6. The powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition according to claim 5 further comprising clay.
7. A powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition comprising;
40-60 wt % starch;
30-50 wt % pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent;
1-5 wt % hydrophobic agglomerating material; and
clay.
8. The powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition according to claim 7 wherein the composition forms a suspension composition when added to water, whereby the composition clings to a surface positioned in any orientation, and forms an exterior intumescent char coating upon fire contact.
9. The powdered fire suppression suspension forming composition according to claim 7 wherein the pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent comprises polyacrylate.
