Title:
A METHOD FOR PROVIDING A FLUID COMPOSITION WITH IMPROVED FIRE RESISTANCE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001090232
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for providing an anhydrous poly(alkylene glycol)-based fluid composition with Group 1 or Group 2 fire resistance properties. According to the method, the fluid composition is formulated with an ethylene oxide/alkylene oxide wt. percent ratio and/or an amount of antioxidant sufficient to provide the fluid composition with a spray flammability parameter of less than 8.0 x 10<4>. Fluid compositions formulated according to the invention are useful as hydraulic fluids and quenchants and in other industrial and commercial applications requiring fluids having enhanced fire resistance.
