eFireX 6-liter lithium-ion fire extinguisher for battery fires

Discover the E-FireX 6 liters extinguisher to fight modern fires

Supplier code: EFX-6L

Extinguisher available in several formats:

• Extinguisher E-FireX 2 liters (EXFX4P)
• Extinguisher E-FireX 6 liters (EXFX6L)
• Extinguisher E-FireX 9 liters (EXFX9L)

The eFireX 6 Liters is specially developed to respond to the growing risks of lithium-ion batteries present in electric vehicles, energy storage systems, laptops and other electronic devices. Unlike classic powders or CO₂ extinguishers, this model encapsulates the cells on fire and blocks the chemical reaction, offering superior efficiency and reinforced safety. Its 6-liter capacity allows it to handle larger fires, guaranteeing quick and reliable intervention.

This extinguisher belongs to the category of lithium ion encapsulator extinguishers, specially developed for battery fires. Unlike classic powders or CO₂ extinguishers, it uses a biodegradable encapsulating agent that stops thermal propagation and prevents reignition.

It is recommended for:

• Electric and hybrid vehicles
• Domestic batteries (power wall, solar storage)
• Electronic devices (computers, smartphones, electric bikes)
• Professional environments (laboratories, data centers, workshops)

Why this type is recommended

The lithium ion encapsulator type is advised because it responds to the specific risks of modern batteries. Traditional extinguishers are not effective against lithium-ion fires, while the eFireX neutralizes the chemical reaction and encapsulates the burning cells. This makes it an indispensable choice for any installation using lithium batteries.

FAQ about the lithium-ion extinguisher eFireX 6 Liters

Can the eFireX 6 Liters be used on other types of fires than those of lithium-ion batteries?

This extinguisher is specially designed for lithium-ion battery fires. It is not recommended for hydrocarbons because its encapsulating agent is formulated to neutralize chemical reactions specifically to modern batteries.

What is the real intervention capacity of the 6-liter model?

Thanks to its reinforced volume, the eFireX 6 Liters allows handling larger fires than the 2-liter model. It is particularly adapted to professional environments or areas where several lithium-ion batteries are present, such as garages, workshops or laboratories.

Does the eFireX 6 Liters require special training to be used?

No, the extinguisher is designed for intuitive and quick use. Its ergonomic handle and simplified spraying system allow immediate intervention, even by untrained people, provided that basic safety instructions are respected.

SYLPROTEC COUNCIL

We also recommend installing signs to indicate the location of your fire extinguishers, given that proper signage can help reduce reaction time in case of fire. You will find some of our sings, available in various sizes and materials, in the Fire Safety signs and OSHA Hazard signs categories. We recommend the sign EOD142, which designates a lithium-ion battery storage area.

Lastly, we offer inspection and maintenance servicing for portable fire extinguishers in the Greater Montreal area. You can also consult our services tab on the front page to discover all the services we offer to maintain your fire safety equipment and your personal protective equipment.
