Abstract:

The main goal of our work was to develop of technology for production of new types, halogen less, eco-safe, high-efficient and universal fire-extinguishing powders on the basis of local mineral raw materials. The technology for production of these powders is simple and significantly differs from the serial production technology. Such fire-extinguishing powders are prepared according to the mechanical treatment and mixing of raw materials, which do not require modification with expensive, halogen-containing hydrophobizing additives. On the one hand, it simplifies technological process of production of powder and on the other hand decreases prices of powder. On the basis of experimental results, it is stated that, the received powders are characterized with high performance characteristics and high fire-extinguishing capacity. Thus, they are halogenfree, eco-safe, highly efficient, universal and far cheaper (1.2-2 times cheaper) than imported analogues. Therefore, the received powders will be effectively used for extinguishing of all classes of fires in underground and aboveground objects within large temperature range or, in such low temperatures where CO2, water and Freon cannot be used.
