A mix of borax powder and a chlorinated anhydrous polyester resin yields a plastic composition that is fire-retardant, yields a minimum of toxic gases when heated, and exhibits high thermal insulating properties. This composition can be used as a coating or can be converted into laminated or cast shapes.
Fast acting, pneumatically and centrally controlled, fire extinguisher /firex/ system is effective in freezing climates. The easy-to-operate system provides a fail-dry function which is activated by an electrical power failure.

Baker-Nunn photography of Intelsat 2-F2 apogee-motor firing
Saran was tested for flammability as a wrapping on TFE-insulated electrical wire bundles in oxygen gas at pressures of 7.5 psia and 14.7 psia. It was found to be fire retardant or self-extinguishing in most instances.
Liquid oxygen container rupture fire hazards - impingement effects of compressed oxygen gas and cryogenic supercritical oxygen against Mylar superinsulation in air
Firing prototype ramjet rockets and fuel consumption tests
Static test firing of 260-SL-3 rocket motor to verify design concepts, fabrication techniques, and materials suitability
Natural electrical phenomena as aircraft fire hazards, with study of flame propagation in fuel vent systems
Low voltage capacitor discharge firing circuit to initiate hot bridgewire squibs for spacecraft applications
EBW firing unit-detonator interface compatibility measured to determine total system reliability for randomly paired production units
Reflectance variation of painted surface during solid propellant retrorocket firing on surface measured by helium-neon laser
Combustion hazard modeling technique limits the fire evaluation to a description of only thermal energy exchanges which are involved in the burning process, and the calculation of temperatures, temperature changes, and weight losses as a result of these energy changes.
Protective, flameproof foam covering improves the resistance to fire and surface contamination of low-cost radio frequency absorbing and shielding anechoic materials. This promotes safety of operating personnel and equipment being tested in an otherwise combustible anechoic chamber.
Evaluation of high expansion foam for spacecraft fire extinguishment
Parameters affecting firing time of simultaneously triggered trigatron spark gap switches
