Coleman, E.H. and Tonkin, P.S., 1952. THE EFFECTS OF CERTAIN HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS ON THE INFLAMMABILITY LIMITS OF N - HEXANE AND AIR. Fire Research Notes 1


ABSTRACT

A series of tests has been carried out to determine the effects of certain fluorinated hydrocarbons containing bromine and chlorine on the inflammability limits of n-hexane and air. The compounds tested were, in order of efficiency by volume, tetrafluorodibromoethene difluorodibromomethane, trifluorobromomethane and trifluorotrichloroethane. The
chlorine compound was much less efficient than the compounds containing bromine.
