SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FIRE EXTINGUISHING THROUGH THE USE OF WATER SOLUTIONS OF ALKALINE SILICATES

摘要

The invention relates to a mixture for the extinguishing of a fire, the mixture comprising an aqueous solution of one or more alkaline silicates having a basic character, wherein the silicates form silica gel barriers when dispersed on burning material through the condensation and gelation of the silicate induced by carbon dioxide which is generated by the combustion of said burning material. The invention further relates to a method for producing a mixture for extinguishing a fire.
