Abstract: The present invention relates to a fire extinguishing micro-capsule, a method for manufacturing the same, and a fire extinguisher using the same. The fire extinguishing micro-capsule has a core-shell structure in which a core includes a liquid fire extinguishing agent and a shell uses a high-density non-porous polymer material. A decapsulation process of the fire extinguishing micro-capsule occurs in a narrow time and temperature range at a rate of at least 150%/min, and the stability of the agent in water and other solvents is significantly increased. A fire extinguisher including the fire extinguishing micro-capsule has increased lifetime and operational efficiency.
