WATER-BASE FIRE-RESISTANT HYDRAULIC FLUID FOR SUBMARINES

Abstract

Syntheses of over 40 phosphorus esters and ester salts and numerous intermediates are reported. The ability of organic phosphorus electrolytes, as water soluble pour-point depressants, to satisfy tentative specifications is characterized by measurements and comparisons of solubility, flammability (AIT, Flash, Fire), hydrolytic stability, sonic shear stability, compatibility with commercial thickeners (35), sea water, paint, Buna N, and corrosivity to eight metal alloys. Some flammability property comparisons of phosphorus compounds with compounds containing boron, nitrogen and sulfur are made. The study supports the premise that for the additive package of a water-base fluid to have an AIT >900 F, the thickener must also possess an AIT in the 900 F range.
