A fire suppression non-aqueous liquid concentrate includes starch, a pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent, a Cparaffin or a Colefin, a non-ionic surfactant, and an alcohol amine neutralizer. The non-aqueous liquid concentrate forms a dilute dispersion when added to water. The dilute dispersion clings to a surface, and forms an intumescent char coating upon fire contact.

Non-aqueous fire suppressing liquid concentrate

A fire suppression composition includes starch, a pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent, hydrohopbic agglomerating material, and a neutralizer.

Biodegradable suspension forming compositions

A fire suppression composition includes starch, a pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent, paraffin or olefin, and a neutralizer.

Fire suppression biodegradable suspension forming compositions

The invention relates to compositions that prevent expansion of a fire, suppress existing fire, as well as methods of preparing and using such compositions. The composition is comprised of water, pseudo-plastic high yield suspending agent and starch. Compositions may contain additional functional agents, such as rheological, wetting, foaming, coloring, chelating, antimicrobial and stabilizing agents. In the description of the present invention, all composition modifications are referred to as compositions. The composition, an augmentation of water, exhibits the characteristics of a sag resistant aqueous gel in the tank, but has shear thinning capacity, allowing the composition to be pumped or sprayed as easily as water. At the point of impact, when the sprayed composition is again at rest, it instantly reverts to a sag resistant aqueous gel. The composition also forms an intumescent, surface char layer upon contacting a fire. Foaming of the augmented composition on impact can be incorporated, which is advantageous for fighting petroleum fires.

Composition inhibiting the expansion of fire, suppressing existing fire, and methods of manufacture and use thereof

The invention is a squirrel deterrent assembly including a pole member supporting a bird feeding device. A biasing spring member having first and second ends encircles a portion of the pole member and is secured thereto at the first end thereof. An axially elongated sleeve member surrounds the spring member and the portion of the pole member, with the sleeve member secured to the spring member at the second end thereof. A squirrel grasping the sleeve member causes up and down movement thereof, relative to the pole member, thereby frightening the animal off the assembly.
