The invention discloses a mining fire extinguishing material additive and application of the mining fire extinguishing material additive. The mining fire extinguishing material additive is prepared from, by weight, 40-80 parts of silicate materials, 0.1-5 parts of tackifier, 1-10 parts of dispersing agent, 5-20 parts of surfactant, 1-10 parts of suspending agent, 1-10 parts of super absorbent polymer and 1-10 parts of diluter. The mining fire extinguishing material additive has the advantages of being prepared from the easy-to-obtain raw materials, and being low in cost, easy to implement, good in gelatination effect, high in water retaining capacity, low in water loss speed, applicable to being added into coal ash, yellow mud, white mud and other underground coal mine filling grouting materials and excellent in fire preventing and extinguishing performance.
