AVD has been 3rd party performance tested against a set performance criteria and certified at ZSW.
The vermiculite particles within the mist are deposited on the surface of the burning fuel to create a film over the top of the fire. The film instantly dries and because the high aspect ratio platelet particles overlap and bind together, they produce a non-flammable oxygen barrier between the fuel and the atmosphere. This process has a cooling effect on the fuel source and as the AVD platelets begin to build up the fire is brought brought under control.
AVD encapsulates the fuel source and insulates the cells preventing further thermal runaway; this prevents the propagation of the fire.
Dielectric Test approved in line with BS EN 3-7: 2004 + A1: 2007
