FIREBLOCK LITHIUM

Lithium fires are extremely difficult to fight due to the chemical nature of the different batteries. Once they have caught alight the temperate rises rapidly and thermal runaway occurs. In addition to the release of flammable materials, is the associated risk of toxic smoke, which increases the hazard of the fire.

FIREBLOCK LITHIUM IS A UNIQUE AGENT WITH SUPERB PERFORMANCE FEATURES TO TACKLE LITHIUM BATTERY FIRES

  • FIREBLOCK LITHIUM has superior encapsulating abilities, covering and affixing to the battery, forming a protective layer, removing the heat, and separating the oxygen and fuel from each other.
  • Runoff with FIREBLOCK LITHIUM is minimal, with less than 10% runoff of the amount sprayed on a flat surface.
  • FIREBLOCK LITHIUM acts as a “fireblock” between adjacent cells in a battery pack, preventing thermal propagation.
  • FIREBLOCK LITHIUM’s unique composition has a tremendously strong flame knockdown and cooling effect. It will reduce the temperature of a lithium-ion fire from 400° plus to below 60°.
  • FIREBLOCK LITHIUM stops thermal runaway, by cooling it down, extracting heat from the battery, and stopping the chemical reaction.
  • FIREBLOCK LITHIUM unique formula insulates the cells and prevents reignition.
  • FIREBLOCK LITHIUM IS non-toxic and biodegradable.

It is a thick (high viscosity) green gel that is odourless.

Yes, but specialised equipment is required to enter the battery box.

No, see the video where a hand is dipped in FIREBLOCK LITHIUM gel and a butane torch is held to the person’s hand.  FIREBLOCK LITHIUM gel has superior cooling effects.
