Method of stabilizing bromine-containing fire extinguishing halogenated hydrocarbon composition

摘要: Bromine-containing halogenated hydrocarbons, especially bromocarbons, bromochlorocarbons, bromofluorocarbons and bromochlorofluorocarbons, are stabilized by incorporating in them 0.05 to 0.15 weight percent of an aromatic polyhydric alcohol the phenol type (preferably pyrocatechol) 0.025 0.075 carboxylic acid benzoic acid). The composition is noncorrosive steel when saturated with moisture, even under high oxygen pressure, suitable for long-term storage metal vessels as a fire-extinguishing composition.
