Extinguishing Fires with CellBlockEX vs Halon and Water
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://youtu.be/u8S3jrC5srk”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Previous FAA recommendations for neutralizing thermal runaway (such as lithium-ion battery fires) have advocated the application of halon and water. While such methods may be adequate for outdoor incidents, they typically yield a great deal of smoke and toxic fumes, which presents a problem in close-quarters locations such as an aircraft cabin. CellBlockEX is […]
CellBlockEX Fire Containment Demonstration
CellBlockEX is a dry fire-suppressant granulate made of lightweight, porous recycled glass. It can quickly extinguish lithium-ion battery fires while absorbing smoke and harmful gases, making it a superior choice to normal fire extinguishers or other fire suppression methods. It’s what differentiates the CellBlock brand from anything else on the market. The following video illustrates […]

Passenger Cabin Protocol: Lithium-Ion Battery Fire
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The following video is a simulation of how an airline crew might handle an in-flight lithium-ion battery fire. Two methods are tested in this demonstration: dousing the thermal runaway with a fire extinguisher and water, and suffocating the fire with the CellBlock PED-Pad. The video also provides an abbreviated overview of fire suppression protocol using […]
CellBlockEX Dry Lithium-Ion Fire Extinguisher
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]When a laptop or cellphone catches on fire, your immediate priority should be to extinguish the flames as safely and effectively as possible. In the case of such an emergency as a thermal runaway, different environments require a different fire safety protocol. Water works in a pinch, but dousing a lithium-ion battery fire with water […]
CellBlock PED-Pad Fire Suppression Pillows
The CellBlock PED-Pad can be placed over a compromised PED (Personal Electronic Device) in the event of a thermal runaway. In the following demonstration, a Cellblock PED-Pad is used to suppress a PED fire. Placing the CellBlock PED-Pad over the PED fire releases the CellBlockEX granules from inside the PED-Pad, which suppresses the fire and […]
