Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Experimental data on the flame-extinguishing ability of multicomponent mixtures of powder inhibitors regarding propane-air flames are presented. It is demonstrated that mixtures exhibiting synergism and high flame-extinguishing ability can be used as the active component in fire-fighting powders (mixtures of potassium carbonate with sodium fluoride or sodium hydrocarbonate). The procedure for selecting the components of effective multicomponent mixtures is analyzed.
