Firechief PyroFlow Lithium-ion Battery Fire Suppression Granules
Firechief PyroFlow is an environmentally friendly suppression agent made from expanded glass granulate. It can be used for preventative fire protection and fire fighting where Lithium-ion batteries are present. The small, lightweight spheres consist of foamed recycled glass containing tiny internal pores, forming a partially closed cell structure. Since the granulate is 100% mineral based, it is non-combustible.
How does Firechief PyroFlow work?
By using Firechief PyroFlow as a packaging media, in the event of a battery fire Firechief PyroFlow melts to form glass, caused by the high temperatures as released by such an incident. In the process, the granules absorb a lot of heat as they melt, thus cooling the fire, and at the same time forming an impermeable shell around the fire load encapsulating it from further reaction.
- A mineral-based suppressant granule that is non-toxic and eco-friendly
- Can be used as a thermally stable packaging filler when Lithium-ion batteries are present
- Will smother, suppress and encapsulate Lithium-ion batteries in the event of thermal runaway
- Effectively binds liquids and filters gases
