Fire-extingushing agent, water for fire extinguishing and method of fire extinguishing

摘要

The object of the present invention is to provide a fire extinguishing agent that can extinguish fire and check the spread of fire by easily containing water therein by means of heat due to the fire and solidifying thereby adhering to a burning object; a fire extinguishing water and a method for extinguishing fire by using it. Concretely, the present invention relates to a fire extinguishing agent comprising a thermosensitive polymer that is water-soluble at a temperature not more than a specific preset temperature and that gels or solidifies by containing water therein by means of heat due to a fire which attains to a temperature not less than the preset temperature; a fire extinguishing water obtained by dissolving the fire extinguishing agent into water optionally with a flameproofing agent or other fire extinguishing fire agent; and a method for extinguishing fire using the fire extinguishing water.
