The invention provides a high-efficiency extinguish material for a major fire source, which comprises the following components by weight portion: 1 to 50 portions of component A, 1 to 2 portions of component B, 2 to 1,000 portions of component C, and 0 to 200 portions of component D. The component A is an inorganic silicate material; the component B comprises a foaming agent, a surfactant and a dispersing agent; the component C is water; and the component D comprises a defoamer, a fireproof material, a material generating flame-retardant gas through pyrolysis, a water absorber, a colloidal material and a filling material. The high-efficiency extinguish material overcomes the defects that the prior art has high production and using cost, fast running-off, low service efficiency, severer pollution and high residual quantity, has the advantages of low cost, controllable specific gravity, higher viscosity, difficult seepage, loose storage conditions, fast production, convenient use, safe performance and the like, and can achieve large batches of long-distance transportation. The high-efficiency extinguish material is applicable for large-scale fire extinguishing of oil products, flammable chemicals, large buildings, coal mines, forests and the like, other fire source control and the like.
