RESUMEN

We report on the production of a flame-resistant xanthan gum (XG)-based hydrogel formulation, which could be directly applied onto the skin for protection against burning projectiles. The hydrogel cream represents an efficient use of XG and starch, both of which are biodegradable, reusable natural materials and are also GRAS-certified. The flame-retardant agent resorcinol bis(diphenyl phosphate) (RDP) was shown to be nontoxic to cells in vitro when adsorbed directly onto the starch delivery vehicle. Three hydrogel formulations were studied, the pure XG hydrogel, commercial FireIce hydrogel, and RDP-XG/RDP-starch hydrogel. After application of a direct flame for 150 s, the RDP-XG/RDP-starch hydrogel produced a thick char layer, which was easily removed, showing undamaged chicken skin and tissue underneath. In contrast, complete burning of skin and tissue was observed on untreated control samples and those covered with FireIce and pure XG hydrogels. The thermal protective performance test was also performed, where the heat transfer was measured as a function of time for all three hydrogels. The RDP-XG/RDP-starch hydrogel was able to prolong the protection time before obtaining a second-degree burn for 103 s, which is double that for FireIce and triple that for the pure XG hydrogel. The model proposed involves endothermic reactions, producing char and burning "cold", as opposed to simply relying on the adsorbed water in the hydrogel for burn protection.
