Confining Fires. The design of building features to contain fires effectively and their effects, is one of the most technically complex aspects of fire protection and is certainly the most difficult to evaluate statistically. In all the other phases-prevention, detection, suppression, evacuation-systems thinking also is essential, but it is at least possible to focus attention on one set of products or systems or occupants. But in fire confinement, systems thinking is both essential and unavoidable, because one must deal with every facet of building design and operation. One must consider not only the direct effects of wall assemblies, ceiling/floor assemblies, door assemblies, and the like of fire confinement but also their effectiveness in creating the design conditions assumed by every other part of the overall fire protection system.  1, fiche 9, Anglais, - fire%20confinement

Typical of these are : Phosphate esters[;] Polyol esters[;] Halogenated(fluorinated and/or chlorinated) hydrocarbons[;] Mixtures of phosphate esters or polyol esters and petroleum oil. Since the synthetics do not contain any water or other volatile material, they operate well at higher temperatures than water containing fluids. They also are suitable for higher-pressure systems than the water containing fluids. Synthetic fire resistant fluids do not operate best in low temperature systems.

Fluoroiodocarbons as halon Replacements... The authors have identified a small set of chemicals with outstanding physical properties, extinguishment abilities comparable to halons, low toxicity, clean evaporation, and low environmental impact. These chemicals appear to be prime candidates to replace Halon 1211 as streaming agents and Halon 1301 as total flooding agents for firefighting. These chemicals are in the class of fluoroiodocarbons(FICs). A FIC is a molecule that contains fluorine, iodine, and carbon; in some cases FICs also contain hydrogen. FICs have been shown to be highly effective fire extinguishing agents(in some cases, more effective than existing halons). Both neat FICs and blends of FICs with hydrofluorocarbons(HFCs) show great promise as high-efficiency halon replacements.
