Application

Large-scale forest fires are escalating around the world. This groundbreaking liquid fire extinguishing agent was created to protect precious lives and property, and to achieve coexistence with the natural environment. (Patent pending)

To combat increasingly large-scale forest fires

The Australian bushfires that occurred from 2019 to 2020 are said to have burned 12 million hectares, claiming the lives of 33 people and

1 billion wild animals burned to death.

The difficulty in extinguishing forest fires lies in dealing with re-ignition.

In forest fires, trees that have been extinguished can reignite after a while, causing the fire to spread again. Therefore, dealing with these “re-ignitions” is key.

It is extinguished with water.

The water evaporates and the temperature rises again.

It reignited and spread.Experiments have demonstrated a sustained effect in suppressing recurrent fires.
An experiment was conducted by simultaneously igniting wood treated with water alone and wood treated with K/SMOKE LIQUID. While the water-treated wood continued to burn, the K/SMOKE LIQUID-treated wood extinguished itself in about 2 minutes, demonstrating that it continuously prevents re-ignition even after application.

The attached phosphorus continuously prevents re-ignition.
The main components are water, potassium, and phosphorus. Phosphorus is a naturally occurring component and has an ignition-inhibiting effect. The phosphorus that adheres during fire extinguishing continuously prevents re-ignition.

Usable with conventional equipment
Because it has almost the same shape and properties as water, it can be used as is with conventional water-spraying equipment such as water cannons, water cannons, and helicopters.
