Green five - gadgets for electric and hybrid cars

Also in the current year you don't have to do without technical comfort. New developments in the field of gadgets make everyday life easier and bring smart ideas to everyday life in the car. We introduce a couple of interesting products.

Compact fire extinguisher

The three different models of the FSS fire extinguisher are all aerosol extinguishing sticks, which are particularly small and compact and can be used for many areas. The extinguishing technology of the FFS hand-held fire extinguisher consists of an extinguishing jet of potassium powder, which spreads a powder cloud in the area. The extinguishing agent
condenses and prevents the chain reaction of combustion, as the alkali salts of the extinguishing agent remove the oxygen from the environment, which is important for the fire. The hand-held fire extinguishers are suitable for all main fire classes and therefore also for use in cars.

Since the hand extinguisher only contains stable, solid materials, it is not under pressure, does not cause any organic residues and is also environmentally friendly, as its global warming potential and ozone depletion potential are zero. Of the
FSS is available in three versions, which differ in the duration of the active extinguishing beam. The smallest variant, FSS 25 SEK, has an extinguishing beam duration of 25 seconds and is available from a price of 35 euros.
