Abstract
Solid composition has an organic spill absorbing material in which is absorbed certain of a liquid organic compound or composition. The organic spill absorbing material can be water insoluble, particulate polymer particles that imbibe liquid organic materials. A halogenated organic can provide the liquid organic compound or composition. The halogenated organic can be a halogenated hydrocarbon. A fire can be fought by transmitting the solid composition containing a suitable flame retardant to the base of the fire under conditions such that the absorbed liquid in liquid or vapor form is released; and a living target can be stupefied by transmitting the solid composition containing a suitable stupefying agent under conditions such that vapors of the stupefying agent are released and stupefy the target.
Claims20
A solid composition comprising:
- a solid organic spill absorbing material;
- and
- a liquid organic compound or composition that is absorbed in said material and includes a halogenated organic including halogen moiety(ies) independently at each occurrence of F, Br, I or a combination thereof;
- wherein the solid composition is useful for fighting a fire or for stupefying a living target.
A method of fighting a fire comprising transmitting a solid composition, which embraces particles of an organic spill absorbing material in which is absorbed a liquid organic compound or composition that includes a fire fighting agent, to a base of the fire under conditions such that said absorbed liquid in liquid or vapor form is released.
A method of providing for stupefaction of a living target comprising transmitting a solid composition of water insoluble, particulate polymer particles that imbibe liquid organic materials, in which composition is absorbed as a liquid a stupefying agent, under conditions such that vapors of the stupefying agent are released and stupefy the target.
