Stop Battery Fires Before They Spread
Advanced coolant technology that prevents thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery systems – safely, effectively, and without harmful chemicals.
Thermal Runaway Fluid by LifeSafe Technologies
What is Thermal Runaway?
Thermal runaway happens when a lithium battery cell gets too hot and loses control. Once this starts, the heat builds on itself, leading to violent venting of gas and particles, extremely high temperatures, toxic smoke, and fire. Worse still, the heat can spread to neighbouring cells, causing a chain reaction of explosions and re-ignition. It can be triggered by physical damage, overcharging, short circuits, or simply a battery that’s worn out over time.
Two-Phase Molecular Technology
– Fighting Fire on Two Fronts
TRF tackles battery fires simultaneously from two angles:
• EndoShield — The fluid triggers an endothermic reaction, meaning it actively absorbs the heat energy released by the fire. Think of it as a super-coolant that draws the temperature down rapidly.
• Exo-Suppression — At the same time, the fluid suppresses oxygen at a molecular level, removing the conditions needed for the fire to reignite.
Together, these two mechanisms extinguish the fire, remove the heat, and stop the chain reaction of thermal runaway from continuing.
What TRF Does in Practice
• Removes heat and stops thermal runaway from spreading
• Cools the fire and prevents re-ignition
• Leaves the battery in a safer, more stable state after the event
A Cleaner Formula
– Better for People and the Planet
TRF is a blend of components that work together to rapidly bring the core temperature of a battery cell below ignition point. Unlike many traditional fire suppressants, it’s non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-corrosive, and fluorine-free – making it one of the most eco-friendly extinguishing solutions available. It’s also non-conductive, which is essential when dealing with live electrical systems.
Why This Problem Is Only Getting Bigger
The use of lithium batteries is growing rapidly across almost every sector. Two areas stand out:
• Electric vehicles — The global shift to EVs is accelerating, which means the number of large lithium battery packs on the road is increasing fast. With that comes a proportional rise in thermal runaway risk.
• Smartphones and personal devices — There are already billions of smartphones in use worldwide. As people upgrade devices more frequently, the storage and disposal of old batteries is becoming a significant safety challenge.
TRF offers a practical, forward-thinking solution for anyone who works with, stores, or manages lithium battery systems at any scale.
