Abstract
Abstract Compositions comprising normally liquid aromatic phosphate or polycarboxylate and finely divided inorganic (e.g. ammonium) phosphate are highly flame resistant. When sprayed on solid filter media (e.g. fiberglass) to enhance gas filtration, the resulting filter system has excellent flame resistance.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A sprayable, flame resistant gel composition consisting essentially of from about 50 to about 99% normally liquid essentially halogen-free aromatic ester selected from the group consisting of phosphate and polycarboxylate and mixtures thereof and, substantially uniformly dispersed throughout said ester, from about 1 to about 50% finely divided inorganic phosphate, wherein said inorganic phosphate is essentially ammonium phosphate and has an average particle size from about 0.5 to about 40 microns, said aromatic phosphate is selected from di(C 4 -C 20 alkyl) aryl, C 4 -C 20 alkyl diaryl and triaryl phosphates in which each aryl radical is unsubstituted phenyl or C 1 -C 12 alkylphenyl, and said polycarboxylate is selected from di(C 1 -C 20 alkyl), C 1 -C 20 alkyl benzyl and dibenzyl phthalates.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A sprayable, flame resistant gel composition consisting essentially of from about 50 to about 99% normally liquid essentially halogen-free aromatic ester selected from the group consisting of phosphate and polycarboxylate and mixtures thereof and, substantially uniformly dispersed throughout said ester, from about 1 to about 50% finely divided inorganic phosphate, wherein said inorganic phosphate is essentially ammonium phosphate and has an average particle size from about 0.5 to about 40 microns, said aromatic phosphate is selected from di(C 4 -C 20 alkyl) aryl, C 4 -C 20 alkyl diaryl and triaryl phosphates in which each aryl radical is unsubstituted phenyl or C 1 -C 12 alkylphenyl, and said polycarboxylate is selected from di(C 1 -C 20 alkyl), C 1 -C 20 alkyl benzyl and dibenzyl phthalates.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
Composition of claim 1 wherein the aromatic phosphate is C 6 -C 12 alkyl diaryl phosphate in which each aryl radical is unsubstituted phenyl or C 1 -C 8 alkylphenyl and, of the combined weight of said inorganic phosphate and said ester, from about 10 to about 40% is inorganic phosphate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
Composition of claim 1 wherein the polycarboxylate is selected from C 4 -C 12 alkyl benzyl phthalates and, of the combined weight of said inorganic phosphate and said ester, at least about 50% is aromatic phosphate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
12 words
Composition of claim 1 wherein the inorganic phosphate is essentially diammonium phosphate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
Composition of claim 4 wherein the combined weight of said inorganic phosphate and said ester is from about 55 to about 100% of the weight of said composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
Composition of claim 5 having a substantial hydrocarbon content up to about 45% by weight of said composition.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
Composition of claim 1 containing from about 15 to about 30% diammonium phosphate, at least about 5% of said ester being phosphate.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
Composition of claim 7 wherein the polycarboxylate is selected from C 4 -C 12 alkyl benzyl phthalates.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
Composition of claim 8 wherein the polycarboxylate is predominantly butyl benzyl phthalate.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
14 words
Composition of claim 1 wherein at least about 50% of said ester is phosphate.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
12 words
Composition of claim 10 wherein essentially all of said ester is phosphate.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
70 words
Composition of claim 10 consisting essentially of from about 15 to about 30% diammonium phosphate and from about 70 to about 85% of said ester, at least about 50% of said ester being selected from C 6 -C 12 alkyl diaryl and triaryl phosphates in which each aryl radical is unsubstituted phenyl or C 1 -C 8 alkylphenyl, said polycarboxylate being selected from C 4 -C 12 alkyl benzyl phthalates.
