Abstract

The present application provides water-enhancing, fire-suppressing hydrogels that are formulated to minimize toxicity and negative environmental impact. The present application provides a composition comprising: (i) at least one thickening agent; (ii) at least one liquid medium; and, optionally, (iii) one or more suspending agents, wherein the composition consists of >75%, by weight, consumer-grade components and wherein the composition is a concentrate that can be mixed with water or an aqueous solution to form a fire-suppressing, water-enhancing hydrogel. Each of the at least one thickening agent, suspending agent and liquid medium can be non-toxic and biodegradable. Also provided are the fire-suppressing, water-enhancing hydrogel and methods of production and use thereof during fire fighting or fire prevention.

Abstract

A solid composition, which may be in the form of pellets, comprising at least two biopolymeric thickening agents, such as polysaccharides, wherein said solid composition is capable of forming hydrogels in the presence of water or an aqueous solution. The hydrogel is a water-enhancing, fire-suppressant that is useful for one or more of fire-fighting, fire-suppression, or fire-prevention and exhibits non-Newtonian fluidic, pseudoplastic or thixotropic behaviour.
