N2  - MC additive is a new generation of additives that is being developed by our research group to improve the fire-extinguishing efficiency of water mist. MC additive not only will not corrode metal and is non-toxic to human beings, but also greatly improves the fire extinguishing efficiency. In this paper, a phenomenological study is conducted into the effect of MC additive on water mist's fire-extinguishing efficiency through the base of an ethanol fire, a diesel fire and a wood crib fire. The experimental results are explained using the chemical suppression mechanisms combined with physical suppression mechanisms.<p />
