ADVANCING SAFETY IN BATTERY LOGISTICS AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE
As batteries become increasingly integral to our daily lives—powering everything from consumer electronics and electric transportation to renewable energy storage—their widespread adoption has also led to a concerning rise in battery-related fire incidents.
Thermal Smart Aerogel is addressing the critical issue of thermal runaway in all types of batteries. This is a major cause of battery fires and explosions, which pose significant threats to the community and the economy.
Unlike conventional fires, traditional firefighting methods are less effective against battery fires due to their high energy density, rapid propagation, chemical hazards, and challenges in extinguishment.
​Hence, there is a pressing need for effective battery fire and explosion protection measures, crucial not only during battery operation but also throughout transportation, warehousing, and emergency response procedures.

Our aerogel-infused crate enhances battery safety by reducing fire risks and containing thermal runaway incidents, protecting logistics and emergency response operations.
-
During transit, the container effectively separates and insulates lithium-ion batteries, minimizing the risk of fire spread or hazardous incidents.
-
In the event of a thermal runaway, the AeroShield Crate contains the heat and flames, preventing the fire from spreading to nearby cargo or environments, and providing critical time for emergency response teams to act.
-
Once the emergency response is complete, the crate safely transports burned or damaged batteries, containing any residual heat or emissions to ensure the safe disposal or recycling of the compromised batteries without posing further risk to the people or surrounding areas.
