Comprehensive Lithium-ion Battery Fire Protection
Lithium-ion batteries are found in various modern electronic devices, such as laptops and mobile phones, as well as hybrid and electric vehicles due to their high energy density and reusability. However, they present unique fire hazards that differ significantly from traditional fire risks. A lithium-ion battery fire typically involves Class A, Class B, and Class C hazards and often occurs due to thermal runaway.
Thermal runaway propagation occurs when a lithium-ion battery cell overheats, causing a chain reaction that ignites adjacent cells. During this process, flammable gases and vapors are released, adding fuel to the fire – potentially creating a catastrophic incident. The NFPA recognizes over 15 years of independent scientific testing of Encapsulator Agents for the suppression of lithium-ion battery fires.
