Browse All ProductsKey Risk Zones
Overnight Charging
Charging devices unattended in bedrooms overnight significantly increases fire risk — fires can spread rapidly before an alarm sounds.
E-Cigarettes & Vapes
Lithium batteries in e-cigarettes and vaping devices are a leading cause of home fires, often igniting in furniture or soft furnishings.
Cordless Appliances
Power tool batteries and small kitchen appliances left on charge near flammable materials pose a serious ignition risk.
Power Tools & E-Bikes
High-capacity battery packs in drills, saws, and e-bikes can enter thermal runaway, releasing toxic gases and intense heat.
Laptops & Devices
Laptops and tablets left charging on desks or beds are a common source of domestic battery fires, especially in poorly ventilated rooms
Battery Storage
Storing spare or old lithium batteries in drawers, cupboards, or under stairs creates a hidden fire risk that's easy to overlook.
How AVD Fire Suppression Works
Lithium-ion battery fires are unlike any conventional fire — they progress rapidly, release toxic gases, generate extreme heat, and can reignite days or even weeks later. Standard extinguishers are ineffective against thermal runaway. AVD (Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion) is a revolutionary, certified extinguishing agent developed specifically to tackle these unique challenges — cooling cells, suppressing flames, and forming a physical barrier to prevent reignition.
Learn About AVD TechnologyAVD Is Applied To The Battery
AVD is discharged directly onto the lithium-ion battery using standard fire-fighting equipment — from portable extinguishers to large-volume trolley units and fixed suppression systems.
Rapid Cooling Of Battery Cells
The aqueous component immediately cools the battery cells, reducing the intense heat generated during thermal runaway and slowing the chain reaction within the cell.
Flames Are Suppressed
AVD acts to suppress the flames and extinguish the fire quickly, limiting the damage and losses caused by a rapidly propagating lithium-ion battery fire.
A Thermal Barrier Forms
As the water evaporates, a heat-resistant layer of vermiculite mineral deposits onto the battery surface, forming a physical oxygen and heat barrier to prevent reignition.
Thermal Propagation Is Blocked
AVD's non-flammable properties reduce thermal propagation between battery cells. It can also be applied as a fire break to prevent the fire spreading to surrounding materials and property
Safe, Clean & Non-Toxic
AVD contains only water and naturally occurring vermiculite mineral — it is PFAS-free, environmentally friendly, non-toxic to humans, animals, and plant life, and leaves no harmful residue.
