The process of quenching a flame of liquid hydrocarbons by suspensions of water with carbon nanostructures is studied. It is shown that the dispersion of carbon nanostructures in water intensifies heat transfer in liquids, which leads to their more rapid heating to boiling temperature under conditions of thermal exposure to a flame. During the experiment, it was found that the quenching time of liquid hydrocarbons by nanosuspensions is on average 3.5–5.0 times less than the time of quenching of a liquid with finely divided water.

This article studies the influence of zeolites with microencapsulated water on flame retardant efficiency of intumescent compositions with epoxy resins under conditions of hydrocarbon jet fire. The flame retardant efficiency has been simulated and estimated using regression analysis. The synthesis of ablation/desorption flame retardant coatings is described.
