Abstract

The peculiarities of interaction of aqueous fire extinguishing substances with combustible medium and combustible surfaces as a basis for improving the quality of existing and developing new modern samples of water extinguishing agents with using modern gelling compounds based on liquid glass, as well as increasing fire extinguishing efficiency during using in fire protection systems of facilities and firefighting were considered. The results of laboratory and field testing which prove the expediency of combining the components of liquid sodium glass and potash in the composition of fire-extinguishing gelling compounds are proved.

The current state of the availability and trends of development in the world and domestic practice of fire extinguishing substances and technologies for their use is analyzed. Possible ways to improve recipes and increase the efficiency of fire extinguishing substances are outlined, taking into account, first of all, the criteria of efficiency, economy and environmental friendliness. It is proved that in comparison with water fire extinguishing solutions on the basis of modified systems and new technologies of their production have a number of advantages, which are a significant increase in their stability and adhesive properties, increased fire-retardant effect due to the formation of a porous layer or film, which complicates the ignition and protects the combustible material due to its low thermal conductivity and isolation from oxygen access, which is important in extinguishing surface fires of class A.

Based on the analysis of literature sources, as well as their own theoretical and experimental research, the scientific basis for further scientific and technological progress in the practice of producers and consumers of firefighting products has been accumulated.

 

Ways to improve the composition of aqueous fire extinguishing substances and technologies for their application are offered.
