This type of fire presents a complex risk due to the extreme heat and chemical formulation. The unique action of the Lith-ex extinguisher is to create a heat proof thermal barrier between hot, burning cells and their surroundings, by spreading waterborne vermiculite particles onto the fire. This barrier prevents propagation of the fire by protecting neighbouring cells from heating up and moving into thermal runaway, and also will protect other flammable materials in the immediate vicinity of the fire. The easily applied liquid has a significant cooling effect, which is essential in bringing such fires under control.

Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to store in any space, ensuring accessibility during emergencies.
