Hydrogel for E-mobility fire protection

E-mobility applications such as EVs, e-bikes, e-scooters, forklifts, drones, and energy storage systems are rapidly increasing worldwide. While these technologies offer major environmental benefits, they also create new fire safety challenges due to the growing use of lithium-ion batteries.

Battery fires are difficult to extinguish and can reignite even after the flames appear under control. In enclosed environments such as parking garages, warehouses, charging stations, ships, and residential buildings, these fires can quickly escalate into major incidents.

Advanced lithium-ion battery fire suppression

Hydrogel provides an advanced and highly effective solution for lithium-ion battery fire suppression. The extinguishing agent rapidly cools battery cells, suppresses flames, isolates heat, and helps prevent re-ignition by controlling thermal runaway at its source.

Applications for Hydrogel in E-mobility

Hydrogel is successfully applied in:

• Battery charging cabinets
• EV parking garage fire suppression systems
• Battery penetration extinguishing systems for burning EVs
• Charging stations and energy storage systems
• Industrial battery handling and storage areas

By combining deep cooling with thermal isolation, Hydrogel significantly improves firefighting effectiveness during emergency interventions.

Compatible with existing fire systems

Hydrogel is compatible with all water-based fire suppression systems and fully interchangeable with water, allowing easy integration into existing firefighting infrastructure without major modifications.

Because Hydrogel remains attached to hot surfaces longer than water alone, significantly less extinguishing agent is required. This improves firefighting efficiency while reducing contaminated runoff water and minimizing environmental pollution.

As e-mobility continues to expand worldwide, Hydrogel offers an innovative and future-proof fire safety solution for protecting people, infrastructure, emergency responders, and the environment.
