FIRE RETARDANTS and FLAME SUPPRESSANTS - Lithium Extinguishing Agents, Li-Ion Extinguishing Agents

Vogt-CTE has its roots in the time-honored Swiss fire and rescue services. The name Vogt is closely associated with fire protection, ventilation, and fire technology. While earlier Vogt companies primarily produced their own technology, Vogt-CTE has evolved into a modern, internationally oriented distribution and competence platform.

The strategic shift involved making globally available innovations specifically usable for European and international operational organizations—tailored to standards, operational doctrines, and training standards. The four business sectors of Vogt-CTE:


Retardants & Suppressants
In our Retardants & Suppressants sector, we offer the following types of products for firefighting and hazard management involving lithium batteries:

• Specialized extinguishing foam for lithium batteries
  Developed extinguishing foams for effective cooling, shielding, and containment of lithium-ion battery fires, as well as for reducing re-ignition.

• Extinguishing agents for thermal runaway
  Extinguishing solutions that specifically target the thermal runaway of battery cells and interrupt chain reactions.

• Extinguishing additives and supplements
  Special additives to enhance the cooling performance and effectiveness of water or foam in lithium battery fires.

• Safety solutions for storage and transport
  Supporting products for risk mitigation in the storage, handling, and transport of lithium batteries.

Our products are designed to make the particular risks of lithium battery fires manageable, protect operational personnel, and minimize property and personal damage.
