Leading companies in the portable fire extinguisher market are prioritizing innovative product development, such as obtaining SANS 1910 approval, which would make them the first in South Africa to secure certification for lithium fire extinguishing capabilities. SANS 1910 is a safety standard from the South African Bureau of Standards (SABS) that outlines requirements for personal protective equipment across industries. For instance, in October 2024, Safequip (Pty) Ltd, a South African fire solutions company, introduced the Lith-Ex Fire Extinguisher Range, a significant advancement in fire safety. This new range of lithium-ion battery extinguishers utilizes Aqueous Vermiculite Dispersion (AVD) technology for efficient suppression and cooling. These extinguishers meet international standards and are UL-certified, with SANS 1910 approval expected soon. Designed to address the growing risk of lithium-ion battery fires, they also feature measures to prevent re-ignition.

Mmajor players in the portable fire extinguisher market are emphasizing strategic partnerships to deliver reliable services to their customers. A strategic partnership involves collaboration between two or more companies or organizations to mutually achieve their goals. For instance, in August 2023, Packaging and Crating Technologies, a leading US-based manufacturer of industrial packaging and crating solutions, collaborated with Fireproof Solutions Inc., a US-based company specializing in fireproof packaging for shipping or storing lithium-ion batteries. Together, they launched Lion-X, a fire extinguishing solution designed to rapidly contain and extinguish fires involving lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), battery packs, and chargers. Lion-X, a water-based, premixed substance, aspirates from a nozzle to generate low-expansion foam. This solution can be manually or automatically sprayed using both wheeled and portable extinguishers. Lion-X can effectively extinguish LIB fires in 30 seconds or less at temperatures as high as 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, while also minimizing the production of methane or hydrogen during lithium-ion burns.
