9 litre Lith-Ex Fire Extinguisher
Providing plenty of firefighting power to safely and effectively tackle a fire involving even the largest lithium-ion batteries around, the 9 litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher benefits from a design that is easily-recognisable in the event of an emergency. While lithium-ion batteries are often found in small portable devices such as phones and tablets, they are also used on boats and yachts, in electric vehicles, in the aviation industry, and used for solar energy storage.
AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) – a revolutionary and non-toxic extinguishing agent, is deployed as a mist which then creates a film over the surface that instantly dries to prevent re-ignition, create an oxygen barrier, and cool down the flames. The Lith-Ex fire extinguisher works even where a powder extinguisher can’t, and is the only one which is safe to use on a lithium-ion battery.
Complete with a 21A fire rating for paper, wood, and cloth fires whilst also being safe to use on live electrical equipment up to 1000V, the lightweight extinguisher is perfect for vehicles, marine, aviation, and medical facilities. Plus, an impressively long discharge time of almost 3 minutes ensures that you can tackle a large fire easily.
At present, there is no standard for extinguishing Lithium batteries. However, the FireChief 9 litre Lith-Ex fire extinguisher is manufactured in accordance with BS EN3, is CE Marked, and also has a six-year warranty.
