Abstract
A method for creating a mixture for fire prevention and suppression, comprising introducing phosphoric acid and anhydrous ammonia gas into a reactor, then introducing urea into the reactor in a controlled rate to achieve a pH of the mixture is 7+/−0.1. Next amino functionalized siloxane is introduced into the mixture, and then powdered volcanic ash (pumice) is introduced. The powdered volcanic ash is introduced into the mixture by means of a turbo-shear high performance mixer. The resulting URAP can be sprayed as fire prevention coating onto vegetation, structural buildings, lumber material and/or other combustible structures. The URAP mixture performs as a fire suppressant by coating substrates and starving combustion's necessary oxygen access.
