In Sweden, Maus fire extinguishers are the go-to solution for a variety of fire situations. These compact extinguishers, made in Sweden and about the size of a flashlight, are easy to store and use. They can handle fires caused by grease, engines, and lithium batteries thanks to their chemical technology that lasts up to 5 years without needing servicing.
When activated, the Maus fire extinguisher releases a stream of cold, non-toxic potassium smoke that can reach nearly 3 meters in length in just 9 seconds. This smoke disrupts the chemical reaction necessary for combustion, effectively extinguishing most fires in their early stages. Once the fire is out, users simply need to open a door to allow the smoke to dissipate without leaving a mess or causing damage to equipment or electronics.
One of the key advantages of the Maus fire extinguisher is its ability to handle fires caused by lithium batteries, which are becoming more common with the rise of electrification. Traditional firefighting equipment may be ineffective against battery fires, but the potassium smoke from Maus can quickly extinguish them in closed or semi-closed spaces. The smoke released by the Maus fire extinguisher is non-toxic and safe to inhale, unlike CO2-based extinguishers. Users can choose between manual control mode or the automatic “Stixx” feature, which activates the tank if the temperature exceeds 180 degrees Celsius.
Discussions are underway with vehicle manufacturers, particularly those producing electric vehicles and off-road vehicles, to integrate Maus fire extinguishers as an option for added safety. With its versatility and effectiveness in handling different types of fires, it’s no wonder that Maus is becoming increasingly popular among businesses and individuals looking for reliable protection against unexpected blazes.
