Lith-Ex AVD Fire Extinguishers
Fires involving Lithium batteries cannot be extinguished with regular extinguishing agents, because when a battery goes into ‘thermal runaway’, it goes into thermal rampage, so to speak. This is accompanied by very high temperatures and a lot of gas formation. The Lith-Ex AVD fire extinguishers have been specially developed for quickly and safely controlling lithium-ion battery fires.

How does the AVD extinguisher work?
AVD is a water-based dispersion of chemically exfoliated vermiculite. It is applied to fires of lithium batteries as a spray, extinguishing the fire and preventing fire engulfment. As a result, AVD is able to stop “thermal runaway”.
The ingredient vermiculite is a natural non-combustible mineral and is non-toxic to humans, animals and the environment.

Fire Safety Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium batteries are generally very safe, yet thermal incidents cannot be ruled out as a result of, for example, overcharging, damage, manufacturing defects or overheating. If a lithium battery goes into thermal runaway, a dangerous situation arises immediately with extremely high temperatures, bright flames and flying (metal) parts. A large quantity of dangerous gases is also released. Depending on the type of battery, this can be as much as 0.7 liters of gas per watt hour. LI battery fires have a unique fire behavior which makes them impossible to fight with regular extinguishers. Lith-Ex AVD has been specially developed for extinguishing and controlling battery fires quickly and effectively.
