Abstract
The process for producing an organic material for extinguishing fires involves mixing at least two kinds of cucurbits which have been divided into pieces, and collecting the water released by them. The mixture is crushed and screened to obtain a very fine powder or a uniform pulp. The powder or pulp is then mixed with at least one basic additive, chosen between sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, in proportions comprised between 1.5% and 7% by weight; with a saline preservative, substantially salicylic acid, in a proportion comprised between 0.1% and 2% by weight; with water from the cucurbits, in a proportion comprised between 50 and 60%; and with at least one surfactant in a proportion comprised between 5% and 30% by weight.

Chemical fire extinguishing product in the form of stabilized foam, comprising a mixture of at least two kinds of cucurbits in the form of a very fine and uniform dry powder with at least one basic additive selected from a group consisting in sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, in proportions between 1.5% and 7% by weight based on the weight of the dry cucurbits, and at least one food preservative in proportions between 0.1% and 2% by weight based on the weight of the dry cucurbits said mixture being treated with water from said cucurbits in proportions between 50% and 70% by weight based on the weight of the dry cucurbits, at least one surfactant in proportions between 5% and 30% by weight based on the weight of the dry cucurbits and at least one inert stabilizer in proportions between 1.5% and 20% by weight with respect to the water.
Fire extinguishing product in the form of a powder, comprising at least two kinds of cucurbits in the form of a very fine and uniform dry powder with at least one basic additive selected from a group consisting in sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, in proportions between 1.5% and 7% by weight based on the weight of the dry cucurbits, and at least one food preservative in proportions between 0.1% and 2% by weight based on the weight of the dry cucurbits.
Process for producing an organic product with high fire extinguishing and fire retardant power, comprising the steps of:
- providing and drying a mixture constituted by at least two kinds of cucurbits which have been divided into pieces, collecting the water released by them;
- subjecting said mixture to a crushing and screening process so as to obtain a very fine and uniform powder;
- and then
- mixing said powder with at least one basic additive, selected from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, in proportions comprised between 1.5% and 7% by weight based on the weight of the powder;
- with a saline preservative, in a proportion comprised between 0.1% and 2% by weight based on the weight of the powder;
- with water from said cucurbits, in a proportion comprised between 50 and 70% by weight based on the weight of the powder;
- and with at least one surfactant in a proportion comprised between 5% and 30% by weight based on the weight of the powder.
Process for producing an organic product with high fire extinguishing and fire retardant power, comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a cucurbit mixture by mixing at least two kinds of cucurbits which have been divided into pieces and collecting the water released by them;
- subjecting said cucurbit mixture to a crushing and screening process so as to obtain a creamy and uniform pulp;
- and then
- mixing said pulp with at least one basic additive, selected from the group consisting of sodium bicarbonate and calcium carbonate, in proportions comprised between 1.5% and 7% by weight based on the weight of the pulp;
- with a saline preservative, in a proportion comprised between 0.1% and 2% by weight based on the weight of the pulp;
- with water from said cucurbits, in a proportion comprised between 50 and 70% by weight based on the weight of the pulp;
- and with at least one surfactant in a proportion comprised between 5% and 30% by weight based on the weight of the pulp.
