What is AVD?
AVD is
AVD is a stable suspension of vermiculite platelets with a D90 of 180 microns (0.18mm)
AVD is non flammable and has excellent insulation properties
It is approximately 17% Vermiculite / 83% water
It has a viscosity of 3000 cPs, feels like double cream
What is Vermiculite?
Vermiculite is a naturally occurring mineral: aluminium – iron – magnesium – silicate that is mined all over the world
It is non flammable and has excellent thermal insulation properties
It is chemically and physically inert
Vermiculite mineral is exempt from REACH regulations
How does AVD work?
Our Firechief Lithium-ion Battery Safety Range includes Lithium-ion Battery Fire Extinguishers, fire blankets, suppression kits and fire resistant containers, these products are designed to put out and keep out Lithium-ion battery fires. For more guidance on what to use on certain applications, see our product selector.
What are the benefits of AVD?
AVD fire extinguishing medium has a number of key benefits over existing solutions:
AVD is water-based, therefore, it extinguishes the fire and cools the cells
AVD is film-forming and creates an oxygen barrier
AVD encapsulates the fuel source to prevent re-ignition
AVD electrically insulates -35kV Dielectric test
AVD prevents the propagation of the fire
AVD impacts on each element of the fire triangle
