Lithium-ion Fire Extinguisher (Stored Pressure)
Lithium-ion Fire Extinguisher (Stored Pressure)
Lithium-ion batteries are widely used due to their high energy density, compact size, and lightweight nature compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. However, they are highly sensitive to heat and pose a significant fire hazard. Exposure to high temperatures can lead to battery degradation, thermal runaway, and potential explosions or fires.
Fire Extinguisher for Lithium-ion Batteries
The Lithium-ion Fire Extinguisher (Stored Pressure) by Viaan uses AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion), a cutting-edge extinguishing agent specifically designed for lithium-ion battery fires. When applied as a mist, AVD not only extinguishes the fire but also prevents its re-ignition and the propagation of heat.
How AVD Work
- AVD is a water-based dispersion containing chemically exfoliated vermiculite.
- When sprayed as a fine mist, it quickly cools the fire and forms a non-flammable, oxygen-resistant film over the burning surface.
- The vermiculite platelets overlap and bind, creating a barrier that isolates the fuel source from the surrounding atmosphere.
- As the water content evaporates, a cooling effect is produced, and the vermiculite layers accumulate to effectively bring the fire under control.

Understanding the Risk
Why do lithium-ion batteries catch fire?
Lithium-ion batteries can catch fire due to thermal runaway—a chain reaction initiated by heat, mechanical damage, or overcharging, leading to rapid temperature increase and ignition.
What to do when a lithium-ion battery catches fire?
Cooling is the key. While many extinguishing agents may suppress visible flames, they may not effectively cool the battery cells to prevent re-ignition. The AVD-based Lithium-ion Fire Extinguisher provides extensive cooling while smothering the flames, reducing the risk of recurrence.
