In the early 1950s ... a number of federal agencies banned vaporizing liquid extinguishers because they were poisonous ... Liquified Gases. Although vaporizing liquids proved unacceptable, less toxic halogenated hydrocarbon chemicals found use in the form of liquefied gases. Bromotrifluoromethane (Halon 1301) was first introduced in 1954 ... A low-pressure liquefied gas extinguisher using bromochlorodifluoromethane (Halon 1211) became available in 1973.  2, record 1, English, - halogen%20extinguisher

Ointment bases can be classified by water content into four categories. I. Hydrocarbon bases (or oleaginous): Ointment bases of this type contain and absorb no water. They are prepared from vegetable fixed oils or animal fats, and may contain or include lard, olive oil, cottonseed oil, and other oils. All of these oils contain glycerides, and are subject to rancidification by oxidation. Many of these ingredients possess an unpleasant and unmaskable odor. White Petrolatum is the most common hydrocarbon base. ... II. Absorption bases (Emulsifiable Bases). ... III. Water-Removable Bases (Emulsion Bases). ... IV.
