Daitek and Laji Jointly Develop 'Fire-Extinguishing Suffocation Fire Extinguisher', Obtain 'Disaster Safety Product' Certification

‘DYETEC Research Institute,’ which researches high value-added fiber technology, announced on the 12th that ‘RAJI,’ a specialized automotive parts manufacturing company, has received the ‘Disaster Safety Product Certification’ established by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for the first time in Korea for its fire suppression suffocation extinguishing agent, FIRESSAK.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety’s ‘Disaster Safety Product Certification’ is awarded to products that apply excellent technologies capable of ensuring disaster safety by evaluating quality, performance, and technology. It is recognized as a credible evaluation index for safety products officially certified by the government to secure safety from disasters, especially for products closely related to public safety. FIRESSAK is a representative brand of suffocation extinguishing agents designed for initial fire suppression and is the only product in Korea selected as a disaster safety certified product by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety among suffocation extinguishing agents and fire blankets.

A fire suppression smothering fire extinguisher certified as a 'Safety Product Certificate' by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. When a passenger car catches fire, covering the car with a smothering fire extinguisher extinguishes the fire instantly, more effectively than using a fire extinguisher.

The fire suppression suffocation extinguishing agent was developed through a research project conducted by DYETEC Research Institute in collaboration with RAJI under the Disaster Safety Industry Promotion Support Project led by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety. It satisfies fire resistance characteristics above 1400℃ and allows for more than 30 repeated extinguishing uses.

Subsequently, flame-retardant materials that do not combust were introduced into the suffocation extinguishing agent to improve durability. RAJI also promoted easy and simple usage methods through its own webtoon production, striving to enhance public safety levels and minimize damage from disasters.

These efforts were officially recognized for the product’s safety and excellence through the safety product certification. Since safety products protect not only property but also lives, it is crucial to verify certification that has undergone thorough evaluation.

FIRESSAK products can be used in various places such as electric vehicle fires, parking lots, campsites, performance testing sites, laboratories, and tunnels. For example, several fire departments, Korea Expressway Corporation, and Hyundai Kia Automotive Group have already introduced FIRESSAK’s suffocation extinguishing agents.

Park Cheol-hyun, CEO of RAJI, stated, “Vehicle fires pose a high risk of casualties due to explosions, so a more reliable method than existing fire suppression methods is necessary, and initial response is crucial for all fires. By obtaining the disaster safety certification for suffocation extinguishing agents for the first time in Korea, we will strive to produce and distribute safer products to reduce damage to the public during fires and help manage safety in daily life.”
