6-liter and 9-liter fluorine-free fire extinguishers for lithium battery fires
The 6-liter and 9-liter lithium battery fire extinguishers are specifically designed to combat fires involving lithium-ion batteries while remaining effective on Class A and B fires. They address the new risks associated with the growth of electric vehicles, energy storage systems, electronic equipment, and rechargeable batteries.
Thanks to their fluorine-free water spray extinguishing agent with additives, these extinguishers offer a high-performance, environmentally friendly solution tailored to the needs of professionals seeking to minimize the risks associated with lithium battery thermal runaway.
Why use a fire extinguisher specifically designed for lithium batteries?
Lithium-ion batteries pose a specific risk known as thermal runaway. When a cell is damaged or overheats, it can trigger a chain reaction that is difficult to control with a traditional fire extinguisher.
Fire extinguishers designed for lithium battery fires are formulated to rapidly cool the cells, limit the spread of the fire, and reduce the risk of the fire reigniting. They are now an essential first-response solution in environments where lithium batteries are used or stored.
A more environmentally friendly, fluorine-free technology
Both models use a fluorine-free foaming additive (FFF—Free Fluorine Foam) that is free of PFAS fluorinated compounds such as PFHxA, PFOA, and PFOS. This next-generation formulation produces a stable foam that isolates the fuel, limits reignition, and promotes cooling of the fire source.
This technology offers a truly eco-friendly alternative to traditional fluorinated foams while maintaining excellent fire-extinguishing performance.
Two capacities available depending on the risk level
MMF offers two versions to meet different protection needs:
- 6-liter fire extinguisher: recommended for offices, workshops, technical rooms, computer rooms, charging stations, and small lithium battery storage areas.
- 9-liter fire extinguisher: recommended for maintenance workshops, industrial sites, logistics hubs, warehouses, electric vehicle maintenance centers, and areas with a higher risk.

A rugged design tailored for professionals
The extinguisher body is made of steel with an anti-corrosion coating of oven-cured epoxy-polyester resin. The lightweight alloy head features a cataphoretic anti-corrosion treatment, while the nickel-plated brass striker ensures excellent long-term reliability.
The specialized nozzle promotes the formation of a stable foam that isolates the fire source, prevents reignition, and improves cooling of burning battery packs.
