  • When fire starts, immediate evacuation is required due to LIB explosion.
  • All gas types agent emit highly toxic gases when they contact with the fire.
  • All gas agent are prohibited to use with schedule in major countries due to its toxicity and CO2 emission
  • CO2 and Halon are already prohibited to use in household due to its toxicity.
