Put Out Lithium-Ion Battery Fires and Keep Them Out

Thermal Stop® and Thermal Shield® are patented, PFAS-free agents that stop lithium-ion thermal runaway and keep the pack safe for transport.

The Only Agents That Address All Four Elements of a Lithium-Ion Fire

A lithium-ion battery fire has every element of the fire tetrahedron: heat, oxygen, fuel, and a chemical chain reaction. Thermal runaway is a self-reinforcing reaction inside the cell that produces its own heat, oxygen, and flammable, toxic gases, so removing heat, oxygen, or fuel alone will not put it out.

Thermal Stop® ST-100 and Thermal Shield® are the only products on the market that deal with all four.

Safer for responders and the environment

  • Patented, PFAS-free, and bio-based
  • Non-toxic, non-corrosive, and biodegradable
  • Independently certified to NFPA 18
  • Every ingredient on the EPA's Safer Chemical Ingredients List

Extinguish and Stabilize

Formulated for firefighters by firefighters. Thermal Stop® puts out the fire, Thermal Shield® keeps it out.

Thermal Stop ST-100 Wetting Agent
Extinguish the Fire

Thermal Stop ST-100 Wetting Agent

A patented wetting agent that extinguishes lithium-ion battery fires and stops thermal runaway in seconds or minutes, with minimal water. It cools burning cells in controlled stages to prevent thermal shock, and penetrates ruptured cells to slow the reactions driving thermal runaway. Once it's out, there is little risk of reignition.

  • Fully extinguished a charged EV sedan in 3:31, with under 200 gallons of water
  • Also effective on Class A, B, D, and K fires
  • Encapsulates toxins and heavy metals at the scene
  • Applied with an inline eductor, foam proportioner, or automated foam injection system
Thermal Shield Protective Gel
Stabilize the Battery

Thermal Shield Protective Gel

A gel applied to the battery after extinguishment, with the same endothermic capacity as Thermal Stop®. It provides lasting protection against further thermal runaway while the battery is transported and stored.

  • Lasting protection during transport and storage
  • Applied with a fire extinguisher and smooth-bore nozzle
  • Will not impede battery recycling

Schedule a fire demonstration at your facility

We'll bring a lithium-ion battery fire to your training ground so your crew can judge the result for themselves.

Thermal Stop® Extinguishing Test 1026-B (Condensed)

Firefighters used a handheld extinguisher filled with Thermal Stop® to put out a fully charged Tesla Model S battery module in under 40 seconds, halting thermal runaway with no reignition.

Battery Fire
Electric Vehicle Battery Fire Test

A Toyota Prius is set alight and its pack driven into thermal runaway before firefighters apply Thermal Stop® ST-100 through an inline eductor. The fire goes out, thermal runaway stops, and the batteries do not reignite.

From EV crashes and e-bike fires to battery test labs and automated suppression systems, Thermal Stop® and Thermal Shield® go wherever lithium-ion batteries are a fire risk.

Fire Departments

EV crashes, e-bike fires, and residential battery incidents. Extinguish with ST-100, then apply Thermal Shield® before transport.

Automotive & EV

Assembly lines, test labs, and service bays. Thermal Stop® fully extinguished a charged EV sedan in 3:31 with under 200 gallons of water.

Micromobility

E-bike and scooter fleets, charging rooms, and retail storage. Staged cooling protects neighboring cells from new thermal runaway events.

System Integrators

Thermal Stop® can be applied through automated foam injection systems, inline eductors, or foam proportioners, so it works with the foam equipment you already use.

Request a Demo

Bring a live fire demonstration to your facility

We'll come to you with a live lithium-ion battery fire and put it out with Thermal Stop® ST-100 in front of your crew. Tell us about your team and we'll follow up to set a date.
