Abstract
A method of preventing explosions in chemical manufacturing plants where inflammable bases or vapours are employed in the presence of air or oxygen is further elucidated and the principle extended to condensed explosives. The relative merits of various inhibitors in varying circumstances are reviewed and the conclusion drawn that the best inhibitors of flame are complex organic substances, often of a highly inflammable nature. The seeming paradox admits of a simple explanation based on thermochemical considerations.Keywords
