When the flame point is determined, sthe water content of the sample
must be considered. 2) Flame points above 100 C, the boiling point of water,
~7" could not be determined. As could be expected none of the tested samples
did have a flame point below 100 C. It should be obvious that none of the
prodects would contain flammable solvents. 3)
The surface, or interphase tensions can be seen from Table 2. `The
surface tension vatar/air generally drops some for concentrations from 50 mg/l |:
to 300 mg/l. THe surface tension ds lesst effected for Bo$ (Protein-foss i
extinguisher), most effected for two Light-Water types of FC 206- type.
The reason for this is found in the chemical composition of the extiguishing
compounds. Protein foam agents can be expected to be generally isactiv to
the water/air interphase; while tensides and also so called "synthetic"products are interphase active. The interphase activity is less a product
specific, but rather a group specific characteristic.
