The NFPA will be publishing its latest updates in October which will introduce the new category “Encapsulator Agents” under 18A 7.7 followed by NFPA 885 guidance for fighting Li-Ion battery fires.
The industry could get a jump on this problem by adopting the capabilities of this new category of suppressants.
