Water gel blankets are a type of emergency fire suppression device that consists of a blanket soaked in a water-based gel. They are designed to extinguish fires in situations where traditional water or foam-based extinguishers are not effective, such as fires involving flammable liquids or electrical equipment.
The gel used in the blankets is a mixture of water and a thickening agent that creates a viscous, gel-like substance. This gel has several advantages over traditional water-based extinguishers, including a longer discharge time, better coverage, and less runoff.
