The formulation of PhosphaTania is registered as a trade secret (TS20220009) under UMS, ensuring its exclusivity and protecting its intellectual property. Overall, PhosphaTania is widely used in various industries to provide better fire protection for products and structures. #1 Improves The Efficiency of Fire Retardants. AVAILABLE FOR LICENSING PhosphaTania, or X-Phosphazene: Y-Titania, is an additive that enhances the performance of fire retardants used in commercial applications. It improves the efficiency of these retardants and helps to reduce the spread of flames in case of a fire. It is widely used in various industries to provide better fire protection for products and structures. The hypothesis for successful peat fire suppression is that using a method that extinguishes peat fires is at least 50% more effective than the conventional method of using water. This means that the new method should be able to put out the fire faster and more efficiently, reducing the risk of the fire spreading and causing more damage. Problem Statement PhosphaTania, also known as XPhosphazene:Y-Titania, improves the efficiency of fire retardants by creating a phosphorus and titanium-based protective layer that can absorb heat and release water molecules to prevent the spread of flames. This mechanism reduces the heat and oxygen supply to the burning surface, limiting the spread of fire. This technology can save lives during fire outbreaks by improving the performance of fire retardants reducing the spread of flames and potentially limiting the damage caused by the fire, giving people more time to escape the affected area.
