A fire suppression composition includes starch, a pseudo-plastic, high yield, suspending agent, paraffin or olefin, and a neutralizer.

Some embodiments disclosed herein pertain to compositions for extinguishing or suppressing fires, systems for using the same, methods of making compositions for extinguishing or suppressing fires, and/or methods of using the same. In some embodiments, the compositions disclosed herein are suitable for use on Class D fires (e.g., suppressing or extinguishing the fires). In some embodiments, the compositions disclosed herein comprise a botanical material. In some embodiments, the compositions lack sugar alcohols and/or halogenated compounds.

Environmentally-clean fire inhibiting and extinguishing dry powder compositions and products for sorbing flammable liquids while inhibiting ignition and extinguishing fire involving flammable hydrocarbon liquids such as, oils, fuels and non-polar solvents such as ketones and alcohols. The dry powder chemical compositions are made by mixing, blending and milling to suitable powder particle sizes, the following components: a fire extinguishing agent in the form of at least one alkali metal salt of a nonpolymeric saturated carboxylic acid; a powder fluidizing agent to help provide the dry powder composition with excellent fluid flow characteristics; and an oleophilic/hydrophobic composition for absorbing liquid hydrocarbons, while repelling water. A surfactant may be added to promote the formation of anhydrous semi-crystalline metal mineral salt film onto the surface of flammable hydrocarbon liquids involved in fire outbreaks to be extinguished and preferably absorbed by the dry powder chemical compositions.

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.

Systems and compositions for suppressing and extinguishing several classes of fire, e.g. Class D, fires are disclosed. The composition includes some form of powdered Aloe vera, a bio-surfactant, a thickening agent, and a diol. The composition may be mixed with paint to coat a structure thus protecting the structure from fire. The composition may also be mixed with epoxy resin for coating a structure also for fire protection. The composition may also be in the form of a gel in canisters for extinguishing fire.

The invention comprises a fire extinguisher and method, wherein the fire extinguisher has a sealable high-pressure container that forms a hollow interior connected by a valve to an environment external to the said container. The said container holds at a high pressure at room temperature a composition of liquid carbon dioxide and a non-hydrate, hydrophobic, cyclic organo-siloxane compound, the said compound further having a freezing point of at least −20° C. at one atmosphere. Upon release of the combination to the environment external to the container, the compound further produces a clathrate. In at least one embodiment of the invention, both the clathrate and the non-hydrate, hydrophobic, cyclic organo-siloxane compound have firefighting conductive properties.

A preparation method for a composite fire extinguishing agent with a cooling function is provided, comprising the steps of conducting refining and hydrophobic treating on heat-absorbing material; and mixing the treated heat-absorbing material and a fire extinguishing agent proportionally to obtain a composite fire extinguishing agent with a cooling function. The present invention enhances the cooling performance of the fire extinguishing agent by adding the heat-absorbing material on the basis of the existing fire extinguishing agent, wherein the heat-absorbing material can absorb the heat released by batteries through phase transition (solid-liquid) heat absorption and decomposition heat absorption.

A forest fire retardant composition contains a retardant compound that includes a halide salt, a non-halide salt, a metal oxide, a metal hydroxide, or combinations thereof. The forest fire retardant composition may include at least one anhydrous salt and at least one hydrate salt. 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 dry concentrate, 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.

A fire extinguishing agent comprising a metallocene and a dispersion medium, the metallocene being dispersed in the dispersion medium.

The objective of the present invention is to provide an extinguishing agent which has excellent fire-extinguishing property and which exhibits high safety to the environment and human body. The fire extinguishing agent of the present invention is characterized in comprising a biosurfactant.
