How to Increase the Fire Resistance of Materials?
Flame retardants are used to improve the fire resistance of materials.
Flame retardants are substances added to materials of organic origin to increase their fire-resistant properties. They slow down the combustion and ignition of the material.
The action of flame retardants is based on:

Mineral Fertilizers
Everyone knows that various fertilizers, both mineral and organic, are introduced into soil to increase its fertility.
Today the market offers a huge variety of products for mineral soil enrichment. Science continually studies and invents new and new combinations of mineral components, such as potassium, phosphorus, ammonia,...
Many owners of country properties now build artificial ponds/pools. Such water features are mainly used during the summer season. However, owners often encounter water blooming, which gives the water an unattractive appearance. Greenish tints look unappealing and discourage swimming in cloudy water.
The cleaning technology is based on active oxidation of organic components that cause “blooming,” a greenish tint, and cloudy sediment. When peroxide decomposes, water and active oxygen are formed, and it is this oxygen that eliminates the organic causes of pond blooming.
Peroxide also oxidizes fertilizers that may have entered the water from the surrounding area through rain runoff.
Various metals, including “unhelpful” ones, can be dissolved in the water. Peroxide oxidizes these as well, making such metals safer for the human body.
All compounds (organics, metals, etc.) are easily removed by filtering devices after oxidation.
Hydrogen peroxide does not affect the acid-base balance of the water.
Unlike, for example, chlorine-based cleaning products, peroxide does not cause allergic reactions. It also does not cause irritation.
After the peroxide decomposes, the water is completely safe and requires no additional steps before use.
Hydrogen Peroxide for a Pool — Calculating the Quantity:
Per 1 ton of water (1 cubic meter), use:
concentration 37-38% — 500-700 grams of hydrogen peroxide
concentration 60% — 400-500 grams of peroxide.
For stagnant and/or old water:
37-38% — 1.2-1.4 kg per 1 ton of water,
60% — 0.7-0.8 kg per 1 ton of water.
Preventive treatment every 1-2 weeks:
37-38% — 200-300 grams per 1 ton of water,
60% — 100-150 grams per 1 ton of water.
The amount depends on:
– the degree of contamination of the pond,
– ambient temperature,
– whether the water is exposed to direct sunlight.
Complete decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in a pool takes place within 24 hours (with heavily contaminated water and a higher concentration, it may take up to 3 days).
Even if a higher concentration than necessary is chosen, it will simply take longer for the peroxide to decompose.
Until all the peroxide has fully decomposed, you should not swim in the pool. A higher concentration causes burns to human skin, which visually appear as white spots on the skin (see image below).
Chemical burn from hydrogen peroxide.
After such treatment, the water remains oxygen-enriched for some time, which prevents mosquitoes and other insects from laying larvae in it.
Swimming also results in increased saturation with active oxygen.
Order of Use:
1. You need to protect exposed skin on your hands from possible peroxide splashes — protective (rubber) gloves are needed, as well as protection for exposed areas of skin, and if necessary a face mask. If peroxide gets on exposed skin, rinse it with running water.
2. Prepare and place the necessary equipment near the pond — pump, hoses, etc.
3. If using a pump — place one end of the hose in the canister, and place the other end of the hose in the pond close to the pump — at a distance of 20-30 cm.
4. Set the pump to water filtration mode while drawing in water.
5. If there is no pump, divide the calculated amount of peroxide into several batches and introduce it into the water at different points around the pond using available means.
The pond needs to settle for at least 1 day (24 hours), and with a higher dose of peroxide — up to 3 days.
Don’t forget to notify everyone concerned about the cleaning procedure!
Swimming in the pond is not allowed while the peroxide is still active!
After cleaning, the water becomes clear and clean. The effect of such cleaning lasts from 1 to 3 months, after which the procedure can be repeated.
Particular Features:
1. When cleaning a heated pond/pool, the effectiveness of the method is significantly reduced, and the quantity should be calculated individually through experience.
The decomposition time of the peroxide down to a safe level should also be determined experimentally.
2. Sometimes the water may become cloudy after cleaning; this happens due to:
Elevated lime content in the water;
Other chemical products used together with the peroxide;
Elevated salt content in the water;
After cleaning, part of the water was replaced with unpurified water;
After cleaning, filtration was not performed and solid residues mixed back into the entire volume of water.
For pond/pool cleaning, the technical specifications are not fundamentally important.
The names “medical” and “technical” simply indicate the higher purity of the former. The difference amounts to 0.1 gram per cubic meter of peroxide in non-volatile residues. For a 30-liter canister, the difference is 0.003 grams. When using tap water, such a difference in purity is negligible.
Hydrogen peroxide is sold in several volumes:
10 L canister, 37-38% — for 14 cubic meters of water
20 L canister, 37-38% — for 28 cubic meters of water
30 L canister, 37-38% — for 42 cubic meters of water
30 L canister, 60% — for 84 cubic meters of water
