Fire extinguishing composition for portable fire extinguishers

Abstract

The invention relates to the technology of developing a water-based fire extinguishing composition with the addition of potassium polyacrylate (SAP) intended for portable fire extinguishers, expanding the range of operation of the fire extinguisher (the concentration of surfactant additives introduced into the fire extinguisher charge is no more than 1% by volume) according to ST RK GOST R 51057-2005 "Firefighting equipment. Portable fire extinguishers. General technical requirements. Test methods." This extinguishing agent is designed to extinguish Class A fires involving solid organic materials that smolder (wood, textiles, paper). The extinguishing agent contains the following components in a 10-liter fire extinguisher: 30-50 grams of potassium polyacrylate, 9 liters of water. This effectively extinguishes Class A fires.
