Fully AUTOMATIC   Automotive Fire Extinguisher

Designed from the ground up as an automatic fire extinguisher for car fires, the SAFETYCAR® Automatic Fire Suppression System does not require a heavy and bulky storage bottle that takes up precious space in your car.

Instead, the SCL25™ Clean Agent is stored in a flexible tube made of an innovative temperature-sensitive material, and released when the tube melts in the presence of flames at 120°C.

The highly advanced SCL25™ Clean Agent is used in areas with sensitive electronics such as computer servers, clean rooms, and car engine bays. Being non-toxic and eco-friendly, it's also safe to use around humans and pets.

With these powerful benefits, the SAFETYCAR Automatic Fire Suppression System has become the preferred fire extinguisher in car, guarding against unexpected vehicle fires caused by fuel leaks, electrical faults, or engine overheating.

AUTOMOBILE FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN ACTION

Built For Cars

We’ve built the world's only dedicated car fire extinguisher that’s designed to survive 24/7 in car engine bays and automatically suppress car fires when they start!

Engineered For Reliability

Here’s how it works: The potent SCL25 Clean Agent is stored inside our temperature-sensitive SAFETYCAR Fire Extinguisher Tube. This 2.5m (8.2') tube is installed within your car's engine bay to protect it from fire. When heat from a fire is detected, the tube bursts at 120°C (248°F), releasing a pressurised mist that kills the fire instantly!

Fully Automatic

Perhaps your car is parked and unattended.

Or driver and passengers are trapped in a crash.

Or you simply aren’t able to open the hood of a burning car.

It takes more than 90 seconds for an average person to locate, unfasten and start using a portable fire extinguisher to suppress a car fire.

SAFETYCAR extinguishes flames within seconds, not minutes. And it stands guard 24/7, even in parked cars.

Always ready, even when you aren’t!

See how it works!

The best Fire Extinguisher for all car types

Self-activating fire extinguisher tube designed for car engine fire safety.

Self-Activating Fire Extinguisher

The SAFETYCAR Automatic Fire Suppression System is a self-activating automobile fire extinguisher specifically designed to provide both cost-effective and reliable fire protection for vehicles. Unlike traditional car extinguisher kits, this system not only offers automatic fire suppression but also seamlessly complements portable car fire extinguishers. Mounted directly within the vehicle’s engine compartment, the SAFETYCAR Fire Extinguisher Tube detects and extinguishes fires the moment they ignite—no human intervention required.

24/7 Automatic Fire Extinguisher in Car

Equipped with a high-performance, SCL25™ Clean Agent, the SAFETYCAR Fire Extinguisher Tube is environmentally friendly and safe for people. It offers 24/7 fire detection without needing an external power supply, making it a maintenance-free, always-ready solution for vehicle fire protection.

Advanced Fire Safety Technology

When a fire ignites, the temperature-sensitive material of the SAFETYCAR Fire Extinguisher Tube melts at the hottest point, releasing a high-pressure gaseous fire extinguishing agent that immediately suppresses flames. Unlike traditional car extinguisher types, this system leaves no messy or corrosive residue, ensuring your vehicle remains undamaged after activation.

Engineered For Cars

The SAFETYCAR Tube is the only fully automatic car extinguisher specifically designed for vehicles. Its 2.5m tube length is optimised for passenger cars, classic automobiles, and track vehicles, ensuring the precise amount of SCL25 Clean Agent is deployed to stop fires at the source.
