DEVELOPMENT OF NONFLAMMABLE HYDRAULIC FLUID.
Abstract
The object of the study is the development of a waterbase hydraulic fluid which (1) yields a fire-resistent non-aqueous residue, (2) is compatible with materials of construction and sea-water contamination, (3) satisfactorily lubricates shipboard pumps, (4) presents no unusual storage or handling problems, and (5) exhibits no toxicological hazards under conditions of use. Attempts to prepare polymers of unsaturated organic acids of phosphorus having molecular weights sufficiently high to thicken water were not successful. Low-density polyethylene can be chlorophosphorated by reaction with phosphorus trichloride and oxygen. Hydrolysis and neutralization results in products which contain about 15% phosphorus and based on preliminary data, show considerable promise as thickeners. (Author)
