摘要

The invention relates to an autonomous fire-fighting agent (10) formed from a material with fire-extinguishing properties. Said material comprises: microcapsules with a fire-extinguishing composition, said microcapsules having sizes of from 2 to 100μm and being in the form of a halocarbon enclosed in a polymeric shell consisting of polyurea and/or polyurethane; and a binder. In accordance with the invention, the binder comprises a composite material comprising a polymeric component and mineral fibers and/or particles. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing an autonomous fire-fighting agent (10) and an object which uses the autonomous fire-fighting agent (10) to fight a fire 10-20 s after ignition.
