- Abstract
- The objective of the overall effort is to originate concepts for a next-generation suppressant for multidiminsional fires. The objective of the Phase 5 effort is to initiate a specific effort to develop alternative clean fire suppression agents having decreased stratospheric ozone depletion potentials with an emphasis on halocarbons. Toxicity, ODP, availability, and general chemical characteristics are reviewed, and their applications to development of alternaive agents are analyzed.
