LITH-EX Lithium Fire Extinguishers In Hong Kong

Lithium-ion battery fires present a unique and distinct fire hazard. When a battery is compromised by overcharging, physical damage, or overheating, it triggers an unstoppable chain reaction known as "thermal runaway".

• Rapid Spread: Thermal runaway progresses incredibly fast. It can ignite and spread within seconds, giving you less than a minute to react.
  

• Extreme Heat: Temperatures quickly exceed 1,000°C, releasing toxic and flammable gases into the surrounding environment.
  

• High Re-ignition Risk: Even if the visible flames seem to subside, compromised batteries can spontaneously re-ignite hours, days, or even weeks later.
  

• Standard Extinguishers Fail: Normal water, foam, or powder extinguishers are completely ineffective against these fires. They simply cannot control the chemical reaction.

Understanding Lithium Battery Fire Risks

How LITH-EX AVD Technology Works

LITH-EX extinguishers utilize AVD, an environmentally friendly agent made from naturally occurring vermiculite suspended in water.

Stage 1: Cool & Control: Applied as a fine mist, the water content instantly suppresses visible flames and cools adjacent battery cells to halt thermal propagation.

Stage 2: Seal & Protect: As the water evaporates, the vermiculite platelets overlap and bind together, creating a non-flammable, insulated barrier film. This film isolates the fuel source and creates an oxygen barrier, completely extinguishing the fire and preventing re-ignition
