Extinguish Your Lithium Battery Problems
Obexion FR helps first responders extinguish and remediate lithium battery fires — safely and easily.
Proven to Lower Toxic Gases Below IDLH Levels
Inspired by conversations with The Haz Mat Guys (former FDNY Hazmat 1 First Responders who have seen it all), Obexion FR is a lightweight, mobile-friendly solution that not only prevents thermal runaway, but has also been third-party tested and proven to lower toxic gases below IDLH levels.
Not All Fires are Equal – And Neither are Solutions
Lithium battery fires are notoriously difficult to extinguish and present a number of risks. Many first responders have had to rely on dirt, sand, and vermiculite to mitigate these battery fires. None of these solutions are proven to remove toxic gases, prevent batteries from re-igniting, or are scalable to handle multiple lithium batteries.*
Obexion FR to the Rescue
Lithium batteries will be in a stable state once packed in Obexion FR material — so they can be safely transported and shipped. Obexion FR works quickly; in most cases, the Obexion FR System has been shown to mitigate thermal runaway (until there’s no detection of heat) within 30 minutes or less.
Obexion FR is Ideal For...
-
Damaged lithium batteries
-
End-of-life lithium batteries
-
Lithium batteries at risk of thermal runaway
-
Lithium battery contained in power tools
-
Lithium battery pack sizes ranging from eBikes and scooters to lapt
The Science Behind Obexion FR
STEP 1 - HEAT
Enabled by the AkkuGrain® compound to disrupt all three pillars of the fire triangle (heat, oxygen and fuel), Obexion FR quickly contains and extinguishes lithium battery fires.
STEP 2 - OXYGEN
It then actively works to isolate the thermal runaway, pushing oxygen away from the battery cathode and preventing oxygen from returning.
​
STEP 3 - FUEL
Lastly, Obexion FR serves as a barrier that prevents other parts of the battery from igniting, removing the fuel.
Obexion FR Test

This video shows a Obexion FR 30-gallon drum containing 1440-watt hours of mixed batteries at 100% State of Charge. The top screen shows the drum setup, and the bottom shows temperature and voltage data.
At 0:13, the batteries enter thermal runaway, producing steam and rapidly increasing temperatures. Obexion FR quickly extinguishes the runaway, lowering temperatures and voltage. Note: The exterior temperature remains ambient throughout.
