VOGT-CTE - WE DELIVER FLAME RETARDANTS

The increasing prevalence of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, solar systems, and many electronic devices brings not only technological advancements but also new challenges in fire safety.

Fires caused by lithium-ion batteries pose unique risks, as conventional fire extinguishers designed for standard fire types are often not adequately effective.

This can delay extinguishment and significantly increase the extent of damage and danger. In response to this issue, “FlameBlock Lithium Black” is introduced as an innovative safety solution specifically developed for lithium-ion battery fires.

FIRELAB - FIRE SAFETY INNOVATION FROM SOUTH AFRICA

The FireLab is a global distribution platform for innovative fire protection and safety technologies. Headquartered in Dubai, with production facilities in South Africa and distribution partners across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region, we bring a portfolio of proprietary and innovative manufacturer solutions to market. These include the following products:

“Titan/Atom” the autonomous fire extinguishing system
“LithiumBlack” for battery fires
“HydraX” for fire departments
“FabricShield” for textile fires
“NoPanic” for consumer frying pan fires

FireLab does not sell through complex supply chains. Instead, FireLab works directly with distribution partners and strategic customers globally. FireLab delivers highly effective products that address real fire protection challenges – from switchboards and BESS solutions to hotel kitchens and military vehicles. FireLab is a scalable platform for innovation.

While traditional fire protection systems remain essential, new challenges such as fires involving lithium-ion batteries and electrical hazards require a different approach. That is why FireLab has developed Titan/Atom: microcapsules embedded in coatings or stickers. They respond directly to the heat of a fire at its source and extinguish it immediately – without power, without maintenance, and without waiting for an alarm signal. In fires involving lithium-ion batteries and electrical hazards, where every second counts, this technology acts faster and closer to the source of danger. It complements traditional systems by providing autonomous protection right at the point of origin.

OVERVIEW OF FIRELAB PRODUCTS

Lithium Black – Specialized extinguishing agent for fires involving lithium-ion batteries. Rapidly cools down a thermal runaway process, enclosing the battery cells and preventing reignition. Suitable for applications ranging from consumer electronics to large battery energy storage systems (BESS).

Versatile Application: Effective fire suppression for mobile phones, laptops, solar batteries, and large BESS installations in energy supply
Quick Fire Extinguishing: Cools and smothers the battery, interrupts the thermal runaway process, and prevents re-ignition
Targeted Use: Acts exclusively on the affected battery module, protecting all other batteries within the system
Operational Continuity: Systems can continue operating uninterrupted. The affected battery is removed, and normal operation can resume
Toxic Fume Control: Suppresses dangerous and toxic fumes released during battery failure
Eco-Friendly: 100% biodegradable, free from toxic substances, and completely mineral-based

Core Message: Powerful firefighting. Precise application. Eco-friendly.

Hydra X – High-performance 6% extinguishing agent concentrate for fires involving hydrocarbons, oils, and lithium-ion batteries. Ensures rapid firefighting and effective vapor suppression in industrial applications. Suitable for fires of hydrocarbons, tires, oils, and lithium-ion batteries in high-risk industrial areas.

Versatile Application: Ideal for civil protection, mining, maritime, as well as for industrial fire scenarios with fuel-related hazards
Excellent Extinguishing Performance: Provides quick fire suppression and effective control of flammable vapors to prevent reignition
Fluorine-Free Formulation: 6% concentrate without fluorinated ingredients – environmentally friendly without compromising performance
Mineral-Based and Eco-Friendly: 100% mineral-based, biodegradable, and free from toxic components
Suitable for Various Fire Hazards: Effective for fires of classes A, B, D, F, and K as well as lithium-ion battery fires

Core Message: Fluorine-free extinguishing power for the most demanding industrial fire risks.

Fabric Shield – Flame-retardant textile treatment spray to protect textiles from fire. Suitable for curtains, upholstered furniture, bedding, and carpets without altering their structure or appearance. A protective spray that equips natural and synthetic textiles with flame resistance while preserving their original texture and look.

Versatile Application: Ideal for hospitality, yachting, offices, and sound-absorbing materials
Comprehensive Range of Use: Suitable for curtains, upholstered furniture, bedding, carpets, and vehicle interiors
Preserves Original Appearance: Textiles remain soft and visually unchanged after treatment. Structure, color, and drape of the fabric are not affected

Core Message: Invisible protection. Uncompromised comfort.

Mastic – Flame-retardant paste that prevents the spread of fire and toxic gases along cables and through conduit and installation penetrations. Ideal for proactive structural fire protection. A flame-retardant sealing and barrier paste that inhibits the spread of flames and toxic gases along electrical cables and through cable penetrations.

Versatile Application: Ideal for construction projects, industrial facilities, and commercial buildings requiring proactive structural fire protection
Effective Barrier: Prevents the spread of flames and toxic gases through cable trays, pipe and conduit openings, as well as wall and ceiling penetrations
Easy to Process: Can be easily applied by hand, with a brush, or a trowel. In combination with mineral wool, it creates robust fire-stopping systems
Durable Protection: Maintains protective efficacy over a long period and supports compliance with fire protection requirements
Passive Fire Protection: An essential component of fire compartmentation concepts to contain fire and protect escape and rescue routes

Core Message: Seal off hazards. Contain risks.

Titan/Atom – The microcapsules contain the extinguishing fluid FK-5-1-12. When exposed to a heat of approximately 150 °C, the microcapsules burst and release the extinguishing agent directly towards the fire. FK-5-1-12 suppresses the fire through extremely rapid cooling by extracting heat energy from the blaze.

Fully Autonomous System: Active and passive fire suppression system that activates without manual intervention
Non-Corrosive: Does not damage protected components and materials
Non-Toxic: Contains no toxic ingredients
Eco-Friendly: Developed for environmentally conscious fire protection
Long Lifespan: The microcapsules are viable for about five years under outdoor conditions

Core Message: Instantly stop heat.
