  2. NFPA 704 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFPA_704

    "Fire diamond" of hydrofluosilicic acid. The development of NFPA 704 is credited to the Charlotte Fire Department after a fire at the Charlotte Chemical Company in 1959 led to severe injuries to many of the firefighters. [4] [5] Upon arrival, the fire crew found a fire burning inside a vat that firefighters assumed to be burning kerosene. The ...

  3. Chlorofluorocarbon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorofluorocarbon

    An easy example is that of CFC-12, which gives: 90+12=102 -> 1 carbon, 0 hydrogens, 2 fluorine atoms, and hence 2 chlorine atoms resulting in CCl 2 F 2. The main advantage of this method of deducing the molecular composition in comparison with the method described in the paragraph above is that it gives the number of carbon atoms of the molecule.

  4. Polychlorinated biphenyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl

    PCB warning label on a power transformer known to contain PCBs. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are organochlorine compounds with the formula C 12 H 10−x Cl x; they were once widely used in the manufacture of carbonless copy paper, as heat transfer fluids, and as dielectric and coolant fluids for electrical equipment. [2]

  5. Fluoroform - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluoroform

    When used as a fire suppressant, the fluoroform carries the DuPont trade name, FE-13. CHF 3 is recommended for this application because of its low toxicity, its low reactivity, and its high density. HFC-23 has been used in the past as a replacement for Halon 1301(CFC-13B1) in fire suppression systems as a total flooding gaseous fire suppression ...

  6. Flame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flame

    Flames of charcoal. A flame (from Latin flamma) is the visible, gaseous part of a fire.It is caused by a highly exothermic chemical reaction made in a thin zone. [1] When flames are hot enough to have ionized gaseous components of sufficient density, they are then considered plasma.

  7. Fire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire

    A burning candle. Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material (the fuel) in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. [1] [a] At a certain point in the combustion reaction, called the ignition point, flames are produced.
