Abstract:
Certain compositions comprising trifluoroiodomethane with physically-acting combustion suppressants, wherein the compositions exhibit strong synergistic combustion suppression and are useful for suppressing the combustion of many fuels. The compositions are thermally stable, compatible, non-ozone-depleting, low global warming, have reduced toxicity compared to pure trifluoroiodomethane, can be effective in lower weights and volumes than most other agents, and can be more cost-effective than current combustion suppressants.
