LITHIUM ION BATTERY FIRE EXTINGUISHERS
Why Conventional Extinguishers Fail
Why Do Traditional Fire Extinguishers Fail Against Lithium Fires?
✅ Water:
- Reacts violently with lithium, producing hydrogen gas, which accelerates combustion.
✅ CO₂ and Dry Powder:
- Ineffective in cooling and unable to prevent reignition.
✅ Foam Extinguishers:
- Designed for liquid and Class B fires but ineffective against lithium-ion battery fires.
🚫 Consequence:
- Conventional extinguishing agents cannot suppress thermal runaway or prevent reignition.
- Improper extinguishing leads to prolonged combustion, further damaging property and the environment.
💡 What’s the Solution?
👉 HMS (Hydrated Mica Suspension) – India’s first indigenous solution, specifically developed to counter lithium-ion battery fires effectively
🔬 HMS (Hydrated Mica Suspension): The Future of Lithium-Ion Fire Safety
HMS is an advanced fire extinguishing agent formulated specifically for lithium-ion battery fires.
It cool, encapsulates, and prevents reignition – ensuring total suppression of thermal runaway.
✅ 1. Rapid Cooling to Prevent Thermal Runaway
- HMS immediately dissipates heat, bringing battery temperatures below critical thresholds.
- It absorbs the extreme heat generated during thermal runaway, preventing further escalation.
✅ 2. Encapsulation & Smothering Effect
- HMS forms a protective layer around the affected battery cells, cutting off the oxygen supply.
- This layer halts the spread of combustion and prevents toxic gas emissions.
✅ 3. Prevention of Reignition
- Lithium-ion batteries can reignite even after initial suppression. HMS eliminates this risk by preventing post-fire thermal runaway.
✅ 4. Dielectric & Non-Conductive
- HMS is non-conductive, making it ideal for high-voltage environments such as EV batteries, data centers, and industrial facilities.
- Prevents catastrophic fires in large-scale energy storage facilities, safeguarding renewable energy investments.
✅ Industrial Warehouses & Battery Manufacturing Plants:
- Ensures fire safety in environments storing lithium-ion battery packs and components.
✅ Data Centers & High-Density Electronics:
- Secures critical infrastructure by preventing battery-related fire incidents.
✅ Solar Power Installations with Battery Backup:
- Prevents thermal runaway in solar energy storage systems, ensuring continuous power supply.
