Abstract
A method and devices for suppressing a fire within a receptacle. The device includes a receptacle containing an admixture of super absorbent polymer and water having substantially superior fire suppression and extinguishing properties at a level that is not electrically conductive. When used with lithium batteries, once a battery is placed within the receptacle should arcing or a buildup of heat occur, the receptacle will rupture and the admixture will cover the specific area. These particular properties and ratios of the admixture will enable a fire to be extinguished rapidly and not flare back up. The admixture further encapsulates noxious and toxic gases associated with a fire. A mesh or tin foil can be placed around the battery to suppress explosions.
Claims18
A fire suppressing and fire extinguishing packaging comprising:
- a first sidewall defined by a flexible sheet of material having first and second end edges and first and second longitudinal side edges secured to a second sidewall having a mirror image of the first sidewall forming a space therebetween;
- a fire extinguishing admixture comprising a hydrated super absorbent polymer wherein said admixture is contained in said space, wherein heat breaches at least one sidewall releasing said admixture to dissipate said heat or extinguish and suppress any fire production.
An insert for extinguishing and suppressing a fire comprising:
- a first sheet and a second sheet wherein said first and second sheets are sealed forming a cavity therebetween;
- a fire extinguishing admixture comprising a hydrated super absorbent polymer wherein said admixture is contained in said cavity, wherein heat breaches at least one sheet releasing said admixture to dissipate said heat or extinguish and suppress any fire production.
