Multi-purpose fluid extinguisher made available to UK market

LifeSafe has reported that its new 6-litre Multi-Purpose Fluid (MPF) extinguisher has been launched in the United Kingdom through Trinity Fire & Security.

The extinguisher has received full BSI Kitemark and CE certifications. It has also been approved for Class A, B and F fires.

Additionally, it meets the NTA 8133 standard, which tests performance against lithium-ion battery fires.

This launch follows a partnership agreement between LifeSafe and Trinity Fire & Security that began in May 2024.

Entry into global cylinder extinguisher market

LifeSafe stated that the release of the new product marks its move into the traditional fire extinguisher cylinder market.

The company has noted that this global market is estimated to be worth $9 billion annually.

Dominic Berger, Chairman of LifeSafe, said: “Our launch with Trinity Fire & Security, a hugely prestigious and respected industry leader, marks a significant milestone for LifeSafe and will provide access to a global market valued at $9 billion annually.”

Certification includes lithium-ion fire testing

The MPF extinguisher is certified to NTA 8133, which is a recognised standard for extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires.

This certification is becoming more relevant due to the increasing number of incidents involving battery-related fires.

According to LifeSafe, the new extinguisher provides coverage for multiple fire types and is designed to meet a wide range of safety needs.

Trinity Fire & Security to distribute new product

Trinity Fire & Security, established in 1997, will distribute the extinguisher through its network of ten regional offices across the UK.

The company serves more than 2,000 customers including the Ministry of Defence, NHS, and Heathrow Airport.

Richard Castle-Smith, Head of Fire Suppression at Trinity Fire & Security, said: “In the development of the MPF Fire Extinguisher alongside LifeSafe Technologies, we conducted many tests, some of which were filmed.

“They make compelling viewing, demonstrating the ease and speed with which fires are controlled and extinguished – even with a small amount of the multi purpose fluid.”

Trinity Fire & Security is part of Premier Technical Services Group (PTSG), which supports over 20,000 customers and manages more than 200,000 properties in the UK.
