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 a 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. ​

Lith-Ex AVD has been specially developed
for extinguishing battery fires

• ​Specially developed for battery fires
• Cools and shuts off the oxygen supply
• Proven to be the most effective extinguishing agent for battery fires
• Completely eco-friendly
• Also very effective with class-A fires
• Available from 2 liters to 100 liters extinguishing units

How does the AVD extinguisher work?

AVD stands for a water-based dispersion containing chemically exfoliated vermiculite. When sprayed on lithium battery fires, it extinguishes the flames and prevents further fire spread, effectively halting the progression of "thermal runaway."

Vermiculite, a key ingredient, is a naturally occurring non-combustible mineral that poses no toxicity risks to humans, animals, or the environment.
