The 500ml Lith-Ex Fire Extinguisher is designed for use on lithium-ion battery fires up to a battery power rating of 50Wh (e.g. mobile phones and e-cigarettes).   Lith-ex fire extinguishers are hot work compliant.

Fire involving lithium-ion batteries may occur when physical damage causing a short circuit happens or from overcharging or an increase in the external temperature.  Lithium-ion battery fires present a complex risk due to the extreme heat and chemical formulation of the fire.

Lith-ex fire extinguishers create a heat proof thermal barrier between hot, burning cells and their surroundings, by spreading waterborne vermiculite particles onto the fire.  The barrier prevents propagation of the fire by protecting neighbouring cells from heating up and moving into thermal runaway, and also will protect other flammable materials in the immediate vicinity of the fire. The easily applied liquid has a significant cooling effect, which is essential in bringing such fires under control.
