Catalysts Are The Best And Most Advanced Fire Technology
FireStopper® is a “Quantum Chemistry Product Line”℠
Catalysts are the latest, best and most advanced fire technology. Moreover, catalysts will eliminate the threat and danger of fire.
This 1956 Article Prophetically Discusses The Possibility of Someday Using The Energy of a Catalyst to Disarm a Fire Catalyst – Forty Years Later That Dream Was Realized Using Using Quantum Chemistry!
Excerpt – “…applications of known scientific principles are entirely feasible and it is believed that someday enough knowledge concerning this mysterious and fascinating world of catalysts will be accumulated to solve each of the problems involved. Our hope for this lies in the open mind, the eager spirit, the insatiable curiosity, the painstaking scientific approach, of the young men in the fire service and the research laboratories of the future. In that day and age the fire service may move out of the fire stations and into the laboratory to take its rightful place beside the scientists. Its members may then serve the citizens primarily in the capacity of inspectors and investigators whose duty it will be to see that no outbreak of fire occurs.
Employed in this way, the future fire service engineer could well be described in the words of Dryden:
“Happy the man who, studying nature’s laws through known effects, can trace the secret cause.”“
Excerpt – ” CATALYSTS AND THEIR RESULTING ACTION called catalysis play an important part in our daily lives. While we are not aware of this influence, it nevertheless extends to innumerable phases of our existence. Without catalysts, many of our everyday products would be impossible, or at least, less common. Consider fertilizers, explosives and industrial chemicals which depend upon nitrogen as their main ingredient. The manufacture of these substances is made possible by the use of catalysts to “fix” atmospheric nitrogen and to prepare synthetic ammonia, as well as nitric acid. Another case in point is the catalytic cracking of petroleum to produce high-grade gasoline. Production of synthetic rubber, sulfuric acid, plastics, dyestuffs, synthetic shortening (Crisco, etc.) further illustrates this application. Even our digestive processes depend upon the operation of a group of catalysts called “enzymes,” without which foods such as starch, proteins, and oils could not be absorbed by our bodies. “
Excerpt – “There is no doubt of the importance of catalysts to the average person. To the fire protection engineers, to those in the fire service, they become so much more important, because the very existence of their occupation concerns itself with the outbreak of fire and explosion, both of which could well be impossible without catalysis. On the other hand, catalysis plays an important part in the control of this very adversary, as we shall see later in this discussion.”
Excerpt – “It is the purpose of this article, then, to consider some basic information concerning catalysts and their actions as they affect our profession, so that this knowledge may be applied to solving some of the problems in the struggle to protect life and property from the ravages of fire.”
