The present invention relates to a fire resistant material comprising a matrix of thermosetting elastomeric resin of the silicone resin type wherein endothermic fillers are incorporated as well as to a high pressure storage tank coated with said material, processes for the preparation thereof and uses thereof.

Fire protection material, high-pressure storage tank coated with said material, methods for preparing same, and uses thereof

A method for producing an aqueous foam comprising (a) preparing a solution comprising at least one surfactant and at least one protic polar solvent, (b) bringing the solution into contact with a pressurised gas to obtain a two-phase mixture, and (c) injecting the two-phase mixture to obtain the aqueous foam after expansion or dispersion of the gas. The solution further comprises at least one gelling compound chosen from a non-nitrogenous polysaccharide and gelatin. An aqueous foam obtained by such method and uses of the same, in particular in the fields of decontamination, the purification of effluents, or the defusing or containment of explosive devices or suspected explosive devices.
