More LIBIKs flying off the shelves means more aircraft being put back into service! We've a long way to go, but happy to see our friends in this industry starting to recover. Thank you to the entire Virgin Atlantic team, UK's frontrunners in battery safety!

The CellBlock Lithium Ion Battery Incident Kit (LIBIK) is not just another fire containment bag. It's a full line of fire suppression tools that are versatile, simple and effective. The LIBIK is a robust solution to a wide variety of battery fire situations in personal electronic devices (PED). Its unique effectiveness lies in the use of CellBlockEX, an innovative new dry fire-suppressant media, which has been shown to extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire in seconds without the use of water or halon. CellBlockEX is comprised of a very lightweight inert mineral that poses no health risk, and does not have a measurable shelf life or environmental impact.
