Messi Biology explains that the dry weather in spring and autumn, combined with a “flammable layer” of dead branches and fallen leaves, makes forest fires difficult to prevent. While traditional firefighting water can extinguish flames, it is powerless against re-ignition and dense smoke. Today, a “master extinguisher” hidden in firefighting water—magnesium hydroxide—is becoming a new powerful tool for forest fire prevention, and the product from Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. maximizes its effectiveness.
The fire-extinguishing magic of magnesium hydroxide stems from a triple synergistic mechanism. When a forest fire reaches a high temperature of over 340°C, it rapidly decomposes into magnesium oxide and water vapor. Each gram of this decomposition process can absorb 1.37 kJ of heat, rapidly cooling the flames as if “pouring cold water” on them. The released water vapor dilutes the oxygen concentration in the combustion zone, while the resulting magnesium oxide forms a dense protective layer on the surface of the vegetation, physically isolating oxygen and heat sources. This process produces no toxic gases, perfectly suiting the needs of forest ecosystem protection in the spring and autumn seasons.
The magnesium hydroxide product from Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. also addresses key industry pain points in forest firefighting. In a firefighting water solution, purity and dispersibility directly determine the extinguishing efficiency. Leveraging advanced production processes, the company has increased the product’s purity to over 99.8%, with harmful impurity content below 0.01%, far exceeding industry standards and preventing impurities from compromising the stability of the water solution. The unique nano- to micron-scale hexagonal platelet crystal structure allows the specific surface area to exceed 40m²/g, enabling the flame-retardant particles to disperse uniformly in water without layering or sedimentation, ensuring comprehensive coverage of burning vegetation upon spraying.
This advantage is particularly crucial in practical forest firefighting during spring and autumn. When a fire spreads, their product can quickly break the combustion chain through the triple action of “heat absorption – water release – oxygen isolation.” The water vapor dilutes dense smoke to improve visibility, and the protective layer formed by the magnesium oxide residue effectively prevents re-ignition. More valuably, their green production process involves no strong acids or alkalis, and carbon emissions are only one-third of the industry average. The residue after firefighting is easily degradable and does not harm the forest soil ecology. From dry branches in the woods to continuous vegetation, the magnesium hydroxide from Hebei Messi Biology Co., Ltd. builds an “invisible barrier” for forest fire prevention in spring and autumn. This innovative material, which combines high-efficiency firefighting with ecological protection, is making forest firewalls stronger and more environmentally friendly.
