BlazeCut: An Innovation Changing the Logic of Autonomous Fire Protection in Wartime Conditions

14.07.2025

In Ukraine’s energy sector today, there are no “minor incidents.”

A fire in an electrical panel, server room, or the engine compartment of special equipment is not just a technical failure. It means the shutdown of critical processes, the loss of reserves, and in wartime conditions, the added risk of losing control, communication, or power.

For over 15 years, the company EPPC SPETSZASHCHITA LLC has been working in the field of fire protection for critical infrastructure facilities, nuclear power plants, and state-owned enterprises. We are the official representative in Ukraine of the German company svt Products GmbH—one of the recognized leaders in the global market for passive fire protection.

The products of svt Products GmbH are used to protect facilities that cannot afford to stop—from the energy and aviation sectors to agricultural machinery and special transport. This is passive fire protection that requires no power supply, operates for decades, and meets the highest international standards.

However, not all facilities have access to centralized systems. Modern electrical systems, server rooms, transport, and critical infrastructure equipment increasingly require autonomous fire protection solutions that do not depend on an external power supply, do not require complex installation, and can operate without human intervention.

We are constantly searching for innovative solutions from global manufacturers to integrate them in Ukraine. One such solution is BlazeCut.

How does BlazeCut work?

At the core of the BlazeCut system is a flexible polymer tube filled with the fire-extinguishing agent HFC-227ea. It is installed directly inside the risk area: electrical panels, server rooms, engine compartments, etc., and it reacts not to smoke, but to heat. When the temperature in the installation area reaches +105°C, the tube ruptures at the hottest point, creating an opening. Through this opening, the extinguishing agent is instantly released, suppressing the flames before the fire has a chance to spread.

BlazeCut is a fully autonomous system—it does not require an electrical supply, sensors, or control panels.

Suitable for protecting:

• Distribution electrical panels, inductors, control cabinets, battery compartments
• Server, network, audio, and video equipment
• ATMs, 3D printers, industrial electronics
• Engine compartments of cars, special equipment, boats, personal watercraft
• Autonomous machinery and facilities without constant supervision

Technical Advantages:

• Cylinder-free—the system does not require a separate tank
• No external pressure—the agent is released through thermal expansion
• HFC-227ea is non-toxic, non-conductive, leaves no residue, and does not damage equipment
• Extinguishes Class A, B, C, and electrical fires
• Service life—up to 15 years without maintenance
• Optional: pressure switch, alarm unit
• Pressure gauge for monitoring
• Operates 24/7, regardless of external conditions

For whom is this solution?

• For preserving equipment in high-risk conditions
• For autonomous machinery or facilities without constant supervision
• For critical infrastructure facilities
• For mobile and specialized devices, with the option to connect to a fire protection system

We are implementing BlazeCut systems at facilities in the energy, logistics, IT infrastructure, vehicle fleets, and industrial sectors.

SPETSZASHCHITA, as the official distributor of BlazeCut in Ukraine, provides:

• Engineering consulting and equipment selection
• Personnel training
• Design and implementation
• Post-sales support

We understand that every enterprise, every facility, represents a unique context and risk zone. BlazeCut operates precisely where autonomy is needed, where every second counts. We integrate fire protection solutions that truly work in a critical moment.
