Fire Extinguishing Gel is the widely used to extinguish and control commercial fires. The gel based extinguishers stores the water to achieve up to 20 times more cooling effect on solid material than plain water. Once the water evaporates, there are chances that the protective effect ceases and the gel becomes combustible.
