Abstract
Polysacchlride/Perfluoroalkyl Complexes Abstract The instant invention relates to water-soluble anionic polysaccharides bound to perfluoroalkyl cationic surfactants. Polymer complexes are formed which are especially useful for fighting fires of hydrophilic or polar liquids. They have the unique property of forming an impervious gel when foamed with suitable surfactants and projected onto burning liquids.
The gelatinous blanket is resistant to the fuel and protects the foam blanket from destruction. Consequently, superior fire-fighting agents can be prepared for fires which are otherwise very difficult to extinguish.

6-16728/=/CGC 13 Polysaccharide/Perfluoroalkyl CDmplexes The use of polysaccharides to extinguish fires has been described in VS 3,849,315, 3,957,6S7, 3,957,658, 4,038,195, 4,042,522, 4,060,~32, 4,060,489, 4,149,599, 4,306,979, 4,387,032, 4,420,434, 4,424,133, 4,464,267, 4,472,286. Such fire-fighting compositions may also contain fluorochemical surfactants, fluorochemical synergists, hydrocarbon or silicone surfactants, buffers, corrosion inhibitors, chelating agents, antimicrobial agents, solvents, electrolytes, polymeric foam stabilizers, viscosity reducers and pour point depressants.
The fighting of fires on hydrophilic liquids such as methanol, acetone,and the like is more difficult than the fighting of fires on hydrophobic liquids. Aqueous foams are considered the most desirable material for fighting fires on large bodies of such flammable liquids and thixotropic polysaccharide containing compositions are known to form a gelatinous mat above such burning liquids. The mat floats on the burning fuel and protects the foam above it so the fire is rapidly extinguished.
Prior-art compositions describe the use of various types of polysaccha-~ides including heteropolysaccharide 7 described in US 3,915,800 8S well as its degrad~d forms, scleroglucan, mannan gum, xanthan g~m, phosphoman-non Y-2448, polysaccharide Y-1401, or virtually any water-soluble thixotropic polysaccharide having at least 100 glycose units, or a mol.

It has now been found that the insoluble polymer complex formed from anionic polysaccharides and perfluoroalkyl cations are much more effec-tive and will (a) reduce costs due to the use of smaller amounts of fluorochemicals and polysaccharides and (b) will increase the fire-fight-ing efficiency of such extinguishing agents.
The instant invention relates to a complex of an anionic polysaccharideand a perfluoroalkyl surfactant cation wherein the perfluoroalkyl group thereof contains 4 to 18 carbon atoms. The polysaccharides can generally contain anionic groups, not limited to carboxyl; the fluorochemical catlon can generally contain cationic group~, not limited to ammonium which is preferred.

Microbial polysaccharides are produced extracellularly by microo~ganisms grown under rigidly controlled conditions. The anionic heteropolysaccha-ride grown from Xanthomonas campestris is called xanthan gum; it contains ionizable carboxyl groups from D-glucuronic acid residues as well as a pyruvic acid acetal residues. A commercial process has been described for the production of gum with a high (4 U~O) pyruvic acid content. It i9 believed that the final product is actually a mixture of high and low pyruvate typss since different acid contents can be obtained by frac-tional precipitation in alcohol. ~he pyruvate acetal content is sensitive to variant substrains of the Xanthomonas campestris culture.

The oolysaccharides are considered anionic if they contain as little as0.5 % by weight carboxyl g}oups or equivalent acidic functiDn, e.g.
sulfato, sulfanato, or phosphato, They should be soluble in water at 0.01 % by weight and contain ten or more monosaccharide residues.
The Rf/polysaccharide complexes are useful for purposes of this invention if they are insoluble in isopropanol above about 0.05 % by weight.
The synthesis of the Rf/polysaccharide complexes can be carried out in several ways.
6enerally the perfluoroalkyl surfactant cations of formula (I) correspond to the cation of perfluoroalkyl cationic surfactants of the formula R-A-~R1R2R3X tII) where Rf, ~, R1, R2 and R3 are as defined above and X is an anion. X is preferably in the form of an aqueous solvatable anion such as the halide, lower alkyl sulfate or sulfonate, or hydroxide. Preferred halides include the chloride, bromide and iodide and a preferred lower alkyl sulfate is the methyl sulfate.
One method consists of reactin~ equimolar amounts of concentrated aqueous solutions of the respective cationic surfactant and the polysaccharide.
~he complexes will precipitate from the aqueous solutions and can be filtersd, washed and dried. This method yields the complexes in solid ~orm, substantially free from ~a) trace amounts of unreacted surfactant - 6 - ~3~
or polysaccharide and (b) Eree from salts formed during the reaction.
This method suffers the serious disadvantage that the product is dehydra-ted and very difficult to wet and redisperse in solution.
In a sub-embodiment of this method, the perfluoroalkyl cationic surfac-tant is in the salt form, e.g. where X in form~la II is a halide, lower al~yl sulfate or sulfonate or the like, and the anionic polysaccaride is alos in its salt form, such as the alkàli metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or solvatable amine salt form. In an alternate ~ub-embodiment, ~he perfluoroalkyl cationic surfactant is in its base form, e.g. X in formula II is hydroxy, and the anionic polysaccaride is in its acid form.
A second "in-situl' method is to react equimolar amounts of the respective ingredients in a solvent-water mixture. It was found that in a preferred solvent-water mixture stable solutions of the novel complexes can be obtained which have shown to possess good stability. This method of ~ynthesis i8 a preferred method if removal of ~a) unreacted surfactants, surfactant precursors, excess anionic polysaccharide and (b) removal of the salt formed during the reaction is not necessary. It was also found that blending the complex solutions with other micelle forming surfac-tants also prevents precipitation.
A third "in-situ" method involves the reaction of cationic Rf-surfactants and anlonic polysaccharides in which either component is present in higher than equimolar amount. As a result the complex will be formed and will have increased solution stability even if diluted to lower concen-trations with water. Instead of carrying out the above described reaction with an excess amount of either ingredient, it is also possible to carry out the action with equimolar amounts in the presence of sufficient amounts of a micelle forming nonionic or amphoteric surfactant in order to prevent precipitation of high solid content solutions upon dilution with water.
- z- 13~ 3~3 A fourth method, yielding very pure complexes is based on the reaction in a dialysis cell. By selecting the proper dialysis membranes, unreacted surfactant, precursors and salts formed during the complex formation as well as solvents will diffuse through the membrane, leaving analytically pure complexes as pr~cipitates or solutions in the dialysis cell.
The above four methods can be carried out under conditions known, per se.
Thus, the reaction t~mperature can vary between O~C to abDut ~OOUC, preferably between about 10~C and about 40VC, in aqueous or a~ueous/orga-nic solvent ~edia.

A further embodiment of the present lnvention relates to aqueous fire fighting compositions containing an effective polar solvent fire inhibit-ing amount of anionic polysaccharide/perfluoroalkyl surfactant cation complex, and aqueous fire fighting foam adjuvants. Typical foam adjuvants include one or more of the following: surfactant, surfactant synergist, solvents, electrolytes, protein, and thckeners.
Commercial fire f~ghting agents primarily used today are so-called 6 U/o or 3 V~O proportioning systems. This means that 6 or 3 parts by weight of the agent are diluted (proportioned with 94, or 97 parts by weight of water ~fresh, sea, or brackish water) and applied by conventional foam making equipment.
Preferred concentrates based on the novel Rf/polysaccharide complexes useful for 6 or 3 % proportioning comprise the following components, numbered A through J:
A. 0.1 to 10 % by weight of Rf/polysaccharide complex, B. 0 to 5 % by weight of RfRf ion-pair complex of the type described in U.S. 4,420,434, C. 0 to 25 % by weight of nonionic, amphoteric, anionic or cationic fluorochemical surfactants, . 0 to S % by weight of a fluorochemical synergist, . 0 to 40 % by weight of a hydrocarbon surfactant, . 0 to 40 % by weight of a water miscible solvent, G. 0 to 5 ~/0 by weight of an electrolyte, H. 0 to 10 ~0 by weight of protein or other polymeric foam stabili~er, I. 0 to 4 % by weight of fluorinated oligomers as described in U.S. 4,460,480, J. Water in the amount to make up the balance of 100 %.
Each component A through I may consist of a specific compound or mixtures of compounds.
~hen diluted with water very effective fire-fighting formulations are formed which deposit a tough, solvent impervious film over the surface of the flammable liquid which prevents its further vaporization and thus _ 9 - ~3~
extinguishes the fire. The film is comprised of the subject Rflpoly-saccharide complex which is inherently resistant to the fuel and prevents ts vaporization and combustion. It further provides improved '7~urnback"
of the foam blanket by separating it effectively from the fuel vapors and flame front.
It is preferred for flammable solvent fires, particularly polar solvents of variable water solubility, in particular fors Polar solvents of low water solubility - such as butyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, butanol, ethyl acetate, and Polar solvents of high water solubility - such as methanol, acetone, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl cellosolve and the like.
The following examples are illustrative of various representative embodiments of the invention. In the examples all parts are by weight unless otherwise specified.
Preparation of Anionic Polysaccharide/Cationic ~luorosurfactant Com-plexes One gram of an anionlc polysaccharide is dissolved in 200 ml water, neutralized if acidic, and treated with 3 g of cationic fluorosurfactant dissolved in 500-1000 ml water. ~he polysaccharide solution i5 slowly mixed into the su~actant solution with stirring for 30 minutes and any large fl~rous olumps were broken up in a Waring blender at low speed. Ths precipitate is collected by vacuum filtration, washed thoroughly with water and isopropanol until the wash water shows very little sur~ace tension depression, then dried in a vacuum oven at S0UC for 24 hours; it is then weighed to determine the yield, ground into powder or chopped finely, and submittèd for microanalysis.
- ~o- ~3~38C~
Laboratory Test Method for Fire-Fi~ht-Performance Simplified concentrates simulating fire-fighting concentrates were prepared as follows: 84 g water, 5 g dodecyldimethylamine oxide and 10 g butyl carbitol are added and, with stirring, 1 g of a powdered poly-saccharide is slowly added. The concentrates are mixed thoroughly and neutralized if acidic. Next, a 0.2 % active aqueous solution of each perfluoroalkyl surfactant is prepared, and neutralize~ if acidic Fifteen grams of the concentrate and 15 g of a surfactant solution are diluted to 250 ml with tap ater and stirred well to make a 6 ~ w/w final working dilution.
100 ml of the 6 % solution is drawn into the foam generator and dis-charged lnto a 1000 ml graduated cylinder; the foam volume is noted, and also the time required for 25 ml liquid to drain. The foam volume divided by the volume of original solution (100 ml) is termed the "Foam Fxpansion Ratlo" (FXR). The time required for 25 % of original solution volume to be recovered is called the "Quarter Drain Time" (QDT); it is a measure of the static stability of the foam.
Finally, 75 ml of 67 % dilutlon are drawn into the foam generatoI and the ~oam discharged, through a glass guide tube, onto 250 ml 2-propanol held in a 25 cm x 16 c~ glass pan. The t~me required for 50 % of the foam area to callapse on the alcohol is recorded; this value is termed the "Foam Life" (FL) and it indicates the foam stability on polar solvents, In addition to these three measurements, the appearance of any flocculation in the dilution is reported.

Example 1: Anionic polysaccharides are reacted with R-cationic sur-factants to yield insoluble complexes of the predicted one-to-one anionic to cationic charge stoichiometry.
The elemental analyses of the complexes support this prediction, as shown in Table 5. When the % F, V/~ N, or % S contents are used to calculate the proportions of surfactant and poly~accharide in the complexes, and this ratio compared to the known density of carboxyl sites on the polysaccha-ride (determined for each polysaccharide by perchloric acid titration) it ls seen that the anionic sites are on the average ~ 90 ~O saturated with fluorosurfactant cations (the remaining unreacted sites being paired with a simple inorganic counterion). The organic cationic/anionic ratio of each complex is expressed as "% Binding". Also given is the % yield of each precipitation: these are surprisingly high, around 85 % on the average ~based on 1 g polysacchar$de + weight of surfactant corresponding to the complex's ~n F).

The oolysaccharides are considered anionic if they contain as little as0.5 % by weight carboxyl g}oups or equivalent acidic functiDn, e.g.
sulfato, sulfanato, or phosphato, They should be soluble in water at 0.01 % by weight and contain ten or more monosaccharide residues.
The Rf/polysaccharide complexes are useful for purposes of this invention if they are insoluble in isopropanol above about 0.05 % by weight.
The synthesis of the Rf/polysaccharide complexes can be carried out in several ways.
6enerally the perfluoroalkyl surfactant cations of formula (I) correspond to the cation of perfluoroalkyl cationic surfactants of the formula R-A-~R1R2R3X tII) where Rf, ~, R1, R2 and R3 are as defined above and X is an anion. X is preferably in the form of an aqueous solvatable anion such as the halide, lower alkyl sulfate or sulfonate, or hydroxide. Preferred halides include the chloride, bromide and iodide and a preferred lower alkyl sulfate is the methyl sulfate.
One method consists of reactin~ equimolar amounts of concentrated aqueous solutions of the respective cationic surfactant and the polysaccharide.
~he complexes will precipitate from the aqueous solutions and can be filtersd, washed and dried. This method yields the complexes in solid ~orm, substantially free from ~a) trace amounts of unreacted surfactant - 6 - ~3~
or polysaccharide and (b) Eree from salts formed during the reaction.
This method suffers the serious disadvantage that the product is dehydra-ted and very difficult to wet and redisperse in solution.
In a sub-embodiment of this method, the perfluoroalkyl cationic surfac-tant is in the salt form, e.g. where X in form~la II is a halide, lower al~yl sulfate or sulfonate or the like, and the anionic polysaccaride is alos in its salt form, such as the alkàli metal, alkaline earth metal, ammonium or solvatable amine salt form. In an alternate ~ub-embodiment, ~he perfluoroalkyl cationic surfactant is in its base form, e.g. X in formula II is hydroxy, and the anionic polysaccaride is in its acid form.
A second "in-situl' method is to react equimolar amounts of the respective ingredients in a solvent-water mixture. It was found that in a preferred solvent-water mixture stable solutions of the novel complexes can be obtained which have shown to possess good stability. This method of ~ynthesis i8 a preferred method if removal of ~a) unreacted surfactants, surfactant precursors, excess anionic polysaccharide and (b) removal of the salt formed during the reaction is not necessary. It was also found that blending the complex solutions with other micelle forming surfac-tants also prevents precipitation.
A third "in-situ" method involves the reaction of cationic Rf-surfactants and anlonic polysaccharides in which either component is present in higher than equimolar amount. As a result the complex will be formed and will have increased solution stability even if diluted to lower concen-trations with water. Instead of carrying out the above described reaction with an excess amount of either ingredient, it is also possible to carry out the action with equimolar amounts in the presence of sufficient amounts of a micelle forming nonionic or amphoteric surfactant in order to prevent precipitation of high solid content solutions upon dilution with water.
- z- 13~ 3~3 A fourth method, yielding very pure complexes is based on the reaction in a dialysis cell. By selecting the proper dialysis membranes, unreacted surfactant, precursors and salts formed during the complex formation as well as solvents will diffuse through the membrane, leaving analytically pure complexes as pr~cipitates or solutions in the dialysis cell.
The above four methods can be carried out under conditions known, per se.
Thus, the reaction t~mperature can vary between O~C to abDut ~OOUC, preferably between about 10~C and about 40VC, in aqueous or a~ueous/orga-nic solvent ~edia.

A further embodiment of the present lnvention relates to aqueous fire fighting compositions containing an effective polar solvent fire inhibit-ing amount of anionic polysaccharide/perfluoroalkyl surfactant cation complex, and aqueous fire fighting foam adjuvants. Typical foam adjuvants include one or more of the following: surfactant, surfactant synergist, solvents, electrolytes, protein, and thckeners.
Commercial fire f~ghting agents primarily used today are so-called 6 U/o or 3 V~O proportioning systems. This means that 6 or 3 parts by weight of the agent are diluted (proportioned with 94, or 97 parts by weight of water ~fresh, sea, or brackish water) and applied by conventional foam making equipment.
Preferred concentrates based on the novel Rf/polysaccharide complexes useful for 6 or 3 % proportioning comprise the following components, numbered A through J:
A. 0.1 to 10 % by weight of Rf/polysaccharide complex, B. 0 to 5 % by weight of RfRf ion-pair complex of the type described in U.S. 4,420,434, C. 0 to 25 % by weight of nonionic, amphoteric, anionic or cationic fluorochemical surfactants, . 0 to S % by weight of a fluorochemical synergist, . 0 to 40 % by weight of a hydrocarbon surfactant, . 0 to 40 % by weight of a water miscible solvent, G. 0 to 5 ~/0 by weight of an electrolyte, H. 0 to 10 ~0 by weight of protein or other polymeric foam stabili~er, I. 0 to 4 % by weight of fluorinated oligomers as described in U.S. 4,460,480, J. Water in the amount to make up the balance of 100 %.
Each component A through I may consist of a specific compound or mixtures of compounds.
~hen diluted with water very effective fire-fighting formulations are formed which deposit a tough, solvent impervious film over the surface of the flammable liquid which prevents its further vaporization and thus _ 9 - ~3~
extinguishes the fire. The film is comprised of the subject Rflpoly-saccharide complex which is inherently resistant to the fuel and prevents ts vaporization and combustion. It further provides improved '7~urnback"
of the foam blanket by separating it effectively from the fuel vapors and flame front.
It is preferred for flammable solvent fires, particularly polar solvents of variable water solubility, in particular fors Polar solvents of low water solubility - such as butyl acetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, butanol, ethyl acetate, and Polar solvents of high water solubility - such as methanol, acetone, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl cellosolve and the like.
The following examples are illustrative of various representative embodiments of the invention. In the examples all parts are by weight unless otherwise specified.
Preparation of Anionic Polysaccharide/Cationic ~luorosurfactant Com-plexes One gram of an anionlc polysaccharide is dissolved in 200 ml water, neutralized if acidic, and treated with 3 g of cationic fluorosurfactant dissolved in 500-1000 ml water. ~he polysaccharide solution i5 slowly mixed into the su~actant solution with stirring for 30 minutes and any large fl~rous olumps were broken up in a Waring blender at low speed. Ths precipitate is collected by vacuum filtration, washed thoroughly with water and isopropanol until the wash water shows very little sur~ace tension depression, then dried in a vacuum oven at S0UC for 24 hours; it is then weighed to determine the yield, ground into powder or chopped finely, and submittèd for microanalysis.
- ~o- ~3~38C~
Laboratory Test Method for Fire-Fi~ht-Performance Simplified concentrates simulating fire-fighting concentrates were prepared as follows: 84 g water, 5 g dodecyldimethylamine oxide and 10 g butyl carbitol are added and, with stirring, 1 g of a powdered poly-saccharide is slowly added. The concentrates are mixed thoroughly and neutralized if acidic. Next, a 0.2 % active aqueous solution of each perfluoroalkyl surfactant is prepared, and neutralize~ if acidic Fifteen grams of the concentrate and 15 g of a surfactant solution are diluted to 250 ml with tap ater and stirred well to make a 6 ~ w/w final working dilution.
100 ml of the 6 % solution is drawn into the foam generator and dis-charged lnto a 1000 ml graduated cylinder; the foam volume is noted, and also the time required for 25 ml liquid to drain. The foam volume divided by the volume of original solution (100 ml) is termed the "Foam Fxpansion Ratlo" (FXR). The time required for 25 % of original solution volume to be recovered is called the "Quarter Drain Time" (QDT); it is a measure of the static stability of the foam.
Finally, 75 ml of 67 % dilutlon are drawn into the foam generatoI and the ~oam discharged, through a glass guide tube, onto 250 ml 2-propanol held in a 25 cm x 16 c~ glass pan. The t~me required for 50 % of the foam area to callapse on the alcohol is recorded; this value is termed the "Foam Life" (FL) and it indicates the foam stability on polar solvents, In addition to these three measurements, the appearance of any flocculation in the dilution is reported.
