LifeSafe Announces Market Leading Fluorine Free Fluid
LifeSafe Technologies’ TRF is the only fluorine free fluid that tackles lithium battery fires using the patented Exo-Suppression and EndoShield technologies.
The groundbreaking solution extinguishes the fire and removes the heat, stopping thermal runaway and reignition.
Lithium-ion batteries have been around for years, however, their use in recent times has expanded considerably, most notably in laptops, electric cars, e-scooters and e-bikes. In addition, their use in cordless tools and gardening equipment has grown too. Their use is going to continue to grow too, most likely in the home as power storage systems.
With an increasing number of devices and industries around the world utilising the power and efficiency of lithium batteries, there is a need for an effective extinguishing solution should a fire occur. These fires are EXPLOSIVE and therefore EXTREMELY dangerous!
Two Phase Molecular Technology:
1. EndoShield Performance
The TRF fluid creates an endothermic reaction, absorbing the energy that is given off from a fire as heat, effectively acting as a super coolant.
2. Exo-Suppression
The TRF Fluid supresses the oxygen at a molecular level to prevent reignition.
Justin Morris, Technical Director - Wormald commented –
“Wormald has a commitment to not only protecting people and property but also the environment. Any new product that Wormald introduces to our customers and the wider market must not only satisfy codes and standards for fire protection performance, but must also minimise any harm to the environment, now and in the future.”
WHAT IS THERMAL RUNAWAY FLUID (TRF)?
The Lifesafe Thermal Runaway Fluid (TRF) has a very different approach to how it tackles a lithium-ion battery fire compared to other fire extinguishers.
LifeSafe’s TRF extinguishing agent exceeds current Australian, EPA and future EU restrictions on fluorinated compounds, giving customers confidence in the longevity and sustainability of the product.
