P50 Service-Free 6 litre AVD Fire Extinguisher - for Lithium Battery Fires

This is a pre-order item, due early Spring. 

The P50 Service-Free 6 litre AVD Fire Extinguisher is the ultimate combination of exceptional performance against fire hazards of the modern age and a life-span that surpasses everything else on the market by far. With a fire rating of 13A, it uses a revolutionary extinguishing agent designed and tested specifically for Lithium-Ion Battery Fires and is manufactured with the highest standard of environmentally friendly materials, all to offer an extinguisher that won’t let you down, and will stay with you for decades, all without the hassle of annual servicing inspections.

With relevant and essential certifications such as BS EN3, UKCA, and the CE Mark, you can rest easy knowing that this extinguisher isn’t sacrificing compliance for its cutting-edge functionality. Speaking of which, it uses the aforementioned Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD) agent. This fire extinguishing agent is effective on Lithium-Ion Battery Fires, Class A Fires, and Electrical Fires. It is a natural mineral-based extinguishant composed of high aspect ratio vermiculite platelets in water, resulting in a tightly controlled formulation that pushes the boundaries of firefighting efficiency within the bounds of necessary certifications for safe and regular use.

Lithium-Ion Battery Fires are an equally abundant and fast-growing fire hazard that is the result of recent and current technological advancements. They are essential to the modern world, being present in most portable devices and electric vehicles. As suchm the deadly and specific kind of fire they are able to produce are an ever-present threat. Due to the self-sustaining process of thermal runaway, these fires can often reignite hours or even days after seemingly being cooled, making them especially dangerous. Needless to say, it’s important to have an extinguisher you can trust on hand should a Lithium-Ion Battery Fire occur. 

With a 10-year manufacturers guarantee and renewal following factory refurbishment, the P50 AVD Extinguisher has an effective lifespan of 20 years. Additionally, the data sheet you can also find on this page there is an outline of how to inspect the extinguisher manually. This will allow you and other individuals to become qualified individuals in the annual inspection of this fire extinguisher, thankfully removing the need for third-party inspections.

Note: There is also an associated app for Google and Apple that can be used to log annual maintenance, as well as double pressure gauges on the extinguisher itself for comprehensive calibration.

On top of Lithium-Batteries, the P50 is also rated for use on Class A Fires, which are those caused by common combustibles such as wood and fabric, as well as Electrical Fires up 1000 volts, a qualification typically held exclusively by CO2 Fire Extinguishers. To nail down its functional capabilities, this extinguisher has an ample temperature range of +5 to +60ºC, a discharge time of 40 seconds, a discharge range of 4+ metres, and an operating pressure of 12 bar, all brought together by its 13A fire rating.

The unparalleled lifespan mentioned earlier is thanks in large part to the high-quality materials used in its construction. It is made from lightweight, recyclable materials that are corrosion, Uv, and weather resistant. It is also lighter than most traditional steel extinguishers, while being more durable. The inner cylinder is wound in a super strength aramid fibre yarn, which helps provide this exceptional strength. This corrosion-resistance contributes greatly to the extinguisher not needing third-party servicing; in the first ten years and then following factory refurbishment, the components are at no risk of corrosion or deterioration, so they’re at no risk of needing replacement.

Types of fire include Class A (wood, paper, cloth, etc), Lithium-Ion Battery fires, and fires involving electrical equipment (tested to 1000V).

Anticipated lifespan with indoor use and proper maintenance - 10 years, with an additional 10 years after factory refurbishment.

Please Note: You should still have your new service-free P50 extinguishers commissioned and installed by an extinguisher technician.
