Abstract
This report presents results of a program to test the feasbility of synergistically enhancing the effect of halogenated fire extinguishants with addition of free radical initiators. the effect, previously noted with self extinguishing plastics by Dow ChemicalCompany and KoppersCompany workers, has been found to be only marginal or non-existent over the concentration range of initiator-chlorobromo-methane mixtures used in this work.
