Lithium-Ion Fire Solution Extinguisher
The LI-ion Fire Solution extinguisher is a water type fire extinguisher with the F-500 Encapsulator agent. This Extinguisher has been manufactured and approved to Australian Standard 1841.2. Extensive testing has been performed, and this cooling agent, performs exceptionally well against lithium-Ion Battery Fires.
Available in both 4L & 9L portable and 45L & 90L wheeled type fire extinguishers. This LI-ion Fire Solution is Fluorine Free, rated for A fires, suitable for use on Lithium-Ion batteries fires, and performs extraordinarily well on combustible materials that output extremely high temperatures.
Lithium-Ion batteries are widely used in electronic devices, including Tablets, Mobile Phones, Laptops, Power tools, Electric/Hybrid vehicles, Caravans/Motorhomes, Marine vessels, Emergency Lights, Recharge Stations, Public Transports, Mining vehicles and Solar system batteries, etc.
We encourage you to discuss your individual fire needs with your Fire Service provider to ensure that you are covered for all Fire-types not just Lithium-Ion Battery Fires. Our4L Extinguisher has been tested on a 2.4kWh Li-ion battery fire. Our 9L Lithium-Ion Fire Extinguisher has been tested on a 4.8KWh, Lithium-Ion battery.
Lithium-ion batteries are extremely sensitive to high temperatures and can become inherently flammable. Overcharged, overheated, short circuited and damaged Li-ion batteries have the potential to catch fire or explosion, and might cause widespread damage.
How does F-500 (Lithium-Ion Fire Solution) work differently from an ABE/DCP Extinguisher on Lithium-Ion Battery Fires? Lithium-ion batteries burn at an extremely high temperature. The key to stopping a Lithium-ion battery fire is to quickly remove the heat and stop the reaction of the electrode material with other components of the battery. F-500 Encapsulator Agent provides a perfect solution for both scenarios.
Most foam or powder type fire extinguishers only work for 2D fires which can only be applied to a flat surface as the extinguishant cannot adhere to vertical or other angular surfaces. However, the F-500 agent can penetrate inside the structure of a battery, thus successfully extinguishing the type of fire.
