Lithium-ion Thermal Runaway Testing
Testing Beyond Compliance: Thermal Runaway Propagation What an amazing series of third party testing for our CellBlock FCS Cabinet in Independence, Ohio weeks ago. Our mission was to create a Thermal Runaway on the middle shelf, while preventing propagation to the first and third adjacent shelves, with the highest quality data possible. The new testing facilities of […]
Stop Thermal Runaway in Seconds
We are starting the year off with a bang! Watch a battery cascade into thermal runaway as the passive fire suppression system of the CellBlock FCS Cabinet takes control of the escalating situation. Spark to suppression in roughly 3 seconds is impressive, even for our standards.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMdUk9XxCW4&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fcellblockfcs.com%2F&feature=emb_imp_woyt
LIBIK Fabrics Pass Extensive Testing
LIBIK fabrics being subjected to an FAA cargo liner test – the extreme in flame testing. When the singular focus of your business is rapid battery fire suppression, you get pretty passionate about the effectiveness of the materials you use. After all, you are only as strong as your weakest link. Dylan Vandemark, VP of […]
Is the LIBIK FAA Certified?
The LIBIK (Lithium Ion Battery Incident Kit) is more than just a high durability battery bag. Our products are setting a new standard for lithium battery fire suppression in the aviation industry. Our LIBIK fabrics and high heat gloves have passed the FAA 12-second vertical flame test at an FAA approved testing lab. Our lining […]
CellBlock vs Vermiculite: Battery Fire Suppression
CellBlockEX is a lightweight filler that is also a Class D fire suppressant able to quickly extinguish thermal runaways.
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 […]
CellBlock Transportation Case Witness Panel Test
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The following test demonstrates the effectiveness of CellBlock Transportation and Storage Cases in preventing the propagation of a thermal event to adjacent luggage or packages. The CellBlock Transportation Case was surrounded by a witness panel consisting of corrugated cardboard wrapped in cheesecloth. Any charring or burning on the cheesecloth during the thermal event would indicate […]
