Please refer to the information in our Information Centre on the topic ‘How to extinguish lithium-ion batteries’ via the following link: https://www.lion-care.com/wie-loescht-man-lithium-ionen-akkus
Extinguishing fires involving lithium-ion batteries poses particular challenges for firefighting. This fire extinguisher is particularly suitable for fires involving plastics, rubber and batteries, and can be operated by a single person. Furthermore, it is designed for easy maintenance and user-friendly operation.
Please note: No maintenance sticker is affixed, included or available to order!
Compact fire extinguisher
The F-500 WA 6 fire extinguisher from Neuruppin has a capacity of 6 litres. This allows for a spray duration of approx. 26 seconds with a spray range of 4–6 m. The fire extinguisher has external dimensions of 550 × 275 × 275 mm and weighs 10.7 kg. It is also refillable and can be inspected.
The fire extinguisher is also available in 3-litre and 9-litre sizes.
Easy to use
The F-500 EA additive is stored in special cartridges within the steel cylinder, which has a special 1 mm-thick plastic inner coating; these cartridges only open when the extinguisher is activated. The fire extinguisher is activated by pulling out the safety pin and then pressing the trigger. Using the hose and the nozzle attached to it, the spray jet can be directed precisely and in controlled quantities at the source of the fire, depending on the situation. There is no obstruction to visibility during the extinguishing process.
Versatile application
The fire extinguisher is specifically designed for use on Class A fires and is an effective extinguishing agent for lithium-ion batteries. It is already in use in the following sectors, amongst others:
- Government offices & public authorities
- Car dealerships
- Battery production
- Firefighting involving a wide variety of materials, in particular plastics, rubber, wood, lithium-ion batteries and cars
- Chemical plants
- Printing works
- Electric vehicle charging stations
- Trade fairs & conferences
- Car parks & garages
- Recycling facilities & landfill sites
- Places of assembly
For fighting fires involving batteries and rechargeable batteries
The Neuruppin F-500 WA 6 fire extinguisher can be used to tackle rechargeable battery fires across a wide temperature range from +5 °C to +60 °C. The fire extinguisher is not frost-protected. Even when spraying electrical installations up to 1000 V, there is sufficient safety for the user at a minimum distance of 1 m. Furthermore, it complies with the DIN EN 3 / VDE 0132 requirements for use in or near electrical installations.
Further special advantages of the Neuruppin F-500 WA 6 fire extinguisher
- Fluorine-free extinguishing agent
- Rapidly and completely biodegradable
- Extinguishing agent approvals in accordance with UL, EN and maritime shipping standards
- NATO Stock Number for the F-500 EA extinguishing agent
- Complies with DIN EN 3 / VDE 0132 – specifications for use in or near electrical installations
- Complies with the requirements of ASR A2.2 regarding the reduction of consequential damage and fire-extinguishing performance
- Fire extinguisher approval in accordance with DIN EN 3 and the Pressure Equipment Directive (CE)
- Complete mixing (no sediment formation)
- Reduced surface tension of the extinguishing agent improves the extinguishing effect (wetting effect)
- Increased interfacial activity improves the penetration depth of the extinguishing agent into the combustible material
- Very strong cooling effect due to earlier energy transfer into the extinguishing water (phase change begins as early as approx. 70 °C)
F-500 EA extinguishing agent additive – proven firefighting performance
F-500 EA is an innovative, environmentally friendly and forward-looking multifunctional fire-extinguishing agent. It has been tested and approved and, in accordance with the Chemicals Act, has no hazardous properties. Thanks to its combined extinguishing properties, it is extremely effective as an active extinguishing agent additive and is ideal for fighting fires involving solid organic combustible materials, polar and non-polar flammable liquids, flammable light metals, burning fats, and burning and reacting lithium-ion batteries.
F-500 EA, as a multifunctional fire-extinguishing additive for water, is suitable for 98% of all fires and, provided the recommended storage conditions are observed, has a shelf life of 15 years.
F-500 EA is already in use for firefighting at companies such as RWE, BMW, Tesla, Liebherr, Stihl, Bosch and many others.
Neuruppin fire extinguishers – meeting the highest standards for the protection of people and property
The success story began as early as 1905 with the start of production at the fire extinguisher factory on Lake Neuruppin. For over 100 years, fire extinguishers from Neuruppin have set the standard for preventative fire safety.
The fire safety products are manufactured in Germany in accordance with the strictest European regulations. This guarantees the highest quality. Furthermore, the production process is ISO 9001:2008 certified and is regularly monitored by various testing organisations.
Looking to the future
In the coming years, lithium-ion batteries will become indispensable in all industrial applications and, increasingly, in domestic ones too. However, if used improperly, these batteries can pose a significant potential hazard during manufacture, storage and transport. By purchasing a suitable fire extinguisher, you can protect yourself right from the start against significant financial losses that may arise, for example, from battery fires.
