Environmentally-clean aqueous-based fire inhibitor biochemical compositions in liquid phase that can be atomized and sprayed, over a broad ambient working temperature range, as a fine mist over ground surfaces, native ground fuel, living plants, trees and shrubs and when dried forming a durable fire protective coatings having improved surface coverage, and being an effective proactive wildfire inhibitor. These environmentally-clean aqueous-based fire inhibitor biochemical compositions can also be applied to wood products, and wood-framed and mass-timber buildings, decks and anything of a combustible nature, to provide proactive wildfire protection without compromising wood-fiber strength or producing volatile organic components (VOCs).

Described herein are liquid fire retardant concentrate compositions comprising mixtures of ammonium phosphate fire retardants. Specifically, liquid fire retardant concentrate compositions comprising one or more of monoammonium phosphate (MAP), diammonium phosphate (DAP), and ammonium polyphosphate (APP) are described herein. The ammonium phosphate fire retardant(s) is typically suspended and/or dissolved in a liquid, typically with the fire retardant(s) incorporated into the composition in powder, or granular form. In certain aspects of the present invention, the compositions provided may exhibit one or more advantages as compared to current liquid concentrate fire retardants, including enhanced strength (i.e., a higher proportion of fire retardant component per unit volume), reduced toxicity, and/or reduced corrosion.

A method for preparing a non-corrosive fire extinguishing agent, including combining a methyl phosphate organosilane material and a perfluorohexanone to prepare the fire extinguishing agent.

A forest fire retardant composition contains water and a retardant compound that includes a halide salt, a non-halide salt, a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, or combinations thereof. The halide salt may be magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, or both. The magnesium chloride hydrate has a formula MgCl.sub.2(H.sub.2O).sub.x, wherein x is at least one of x=1, 2, 4, 6, 8, or 12. The calcium chloride hydrate has a formula CaCl.sub.2(H.sub.2O).sub.x, wherein x is at least one of 1, 2, 4, or 6. The composition may be in the form of a liquid concentrate or a final diluted product. The final diluted product is effective in suppressing, retarding, and controlling forest fires while exhibiting corrosion resistance and low toxicity.
