Foam vs Dry Powder vs CO₂: Which Fire Extinguisher Works Best?
Foam, dry powder, or CO₂? Compare fire extinguishers based on performance, limitations, and real-world applications to find the best solution.
From lithium battery fires to industrial hazards, traditional fire suppression methods are no longer enough.
Powered by aerogel technology, our solutions deliver rapid cooling, oxygen isolation, and zero re-ignition.
Aerogel fire suppression technology represents a fundamental shift from traditional fire extinguishing methods.
Instead of relying on surface coverage alone, it combines rapid heat absorption, oxygen isolation, and a stable anti-reignition barrier — delivering more effective and reliable fire control in high-risk environments.
Heat-activated aerogel foam instantly absorbs heat and reduces temperature at the fire source, stopping fire growth at its origin.
The aerogel foam forms a stable, heat-resistant barrier that prevents fire from reigniting — even after initial suppression.
Effective across Class A, B, E, and F fires, including fuel fires, electrical fires, and lithium battery thermal runaway.
Non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and compliant with modern environmental standards such as REACH.
Validated through real-scale fire testing and engineering verification

Aerogel-based fire suppression works through a combination of heat absorption, barrier formation, and structural stability — stopping combustion at its source.
Aerogel rapidly absorbs heat energy from the fire source, reducing temperature and slowing down combustion reactions.
A stable, heat-resistant aerogel foam layer forms on the surface, isolating oxygen and fuel from the fire.
The nano-porous aerogel structure prevents heat rebound and significantly reduces the risk of re-ignition.
