The normal method of eliminating the danger of explosion with mixtures of an inflammable gas and air or oxygen is to render the mixture incapable of flame propagation either by using a large excess of one component or by the addition of an inert diluent. Consideration of the limits of inflammability of mixed gases suggests another and more powerful method, namely, the introduction of an additional inflammable ingredient of a type which has a low upper limit of flame propagation. The hit concentration being measured by volume, suitable additives will normally be characterized by a high molecular weight. A wide choice of such materials is available so that a suitable additive can probably be found to satisfy any specific requirement.
