Modern society faces growing fire hazards due to the rising demand for lithium-ion battery-based products and the associated risk of electrical fires. Battery fires are particularly difficult to control in the early stages because of thermal runaway, leading to severe damage. Traditional fire suppression systems are often unsuitable for these fires, necessitating novel and efficient suppression technologies.
This study develops self-extinguishing microcapsules for early fire suppression by encapsulating a phosphorus-based perfluorinated composite agent in urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin. The morphology and chemical properties were characterized by FT-IR and optical microscopy, while TGA confirmed the release temperature. Fire performance tests demonstrated superior suppression capability.
This research provides comprehensive insights into composite fire-extinguishing agents and additives for enhanced early-stage fire control, showing improved self-extinguishing functionality and storage stability with UF-based microcapsules. The feasibility of applying these microcapsules in coating systems was confirmed, demonstrating effective fire suppression performance in simulated fire environments. These findings are expected to contribute to the development of efficient self-extinguishing fire suppression systems for early fire response, enhancing fire safety in real-world applications.
