The CellBlockEX granulate is very well suited for use in industrial facilities, production operations, data processing centers, archives, warehousing and transportation. Since it is an electrical insulator, it’s also ideal for use in the energy storage and supply sector (i.e., transformer station protection). CellBlockEX has a low dust content, tolerates frost, and is easily removable.

The increasing demand for battery cells also results in higher fire protection requirements during production, transportation, storage, and disposal or recycling of lithium-ion batteries. CellBlockEX is ideal as a dry lithium battery fire extinguisher, and is especially well suited for processes where the use of extinguishing water or foam is not possible (i.e., the aging of lithium-ion batteries).

Transporting freight via road, air or sea – anyone shipping dangerous goods has to observe numerous regulations. Transporting damaged or defective lithium-ion batteries is problematic and special measures are required. CellBlockEX meets the fundamental requirements for fire protection filler. Accordingly, it may be used for conforming special transport containers and it exceeds DOT requirements for lithium-ion battery transport.

Preventive fire protection encompasses steps taken in advance to counteract the outbreak and spread of fires, and to limit their impact as much as possible. In technical fire protection, CellBlockEX can be used as a fire suppressing material by permanently filling cavities, suspended ceilings, cable shafts, lines and pipes.

CellBlockEX fillers protect packaged goods against damage, vibration and impact. It is lightweight, binds liquids, and is environmentally friendly. For shipping hazardous liquids (i.e., laboratory chemicals, bases, acids, paint thinner, or similar) transportation in a dangerous goods unit with a non-combustible filler/binding agent to prevent leaks is prescribed. CellBlockEX offers secure fire and leak protection when used as a packing filler for transporting dangerous substances.
