Fire Suppression Technology
Advanced fire protection for a changing world
Trident Africa supplies advanced, water-based fire suppression technology built to protect people, property and the planet—from conventional commercial and industrial fire risks to modern lithium-ion battery hazards. Trident technology was developed with the health and safety of firefighters and the general public in mind. The agent is completely non-toxic and has unique self-cooling properties.

Modern Risk
Lithium-ion fire protection
Lithium-ion batteries generate heat internally when they fail. That stored heat is what drives combustion, explosion risk and — most importantly — reignition long after visible flames have gone.
Trident addresses the problem at its source. Rather than simply smothering the fire, the agent absorbs heat and cools the affected cells rapidly, suppressing the fire while reducing the risk of it restarting — protecting people, property and surrounding plant.
Rapid cooling
Temperature is driven down inside and around the affected cells.
Heat absorption
Heat is removed rather than trapped beneath a blanket of agent.
Reduced reignition
Removing stored heat lowers the chance of the battery re-igniting.
People & property
Suppression protects occupants, plant, stock and structures.
