EV Battery Thermal & Fire Protection
Advanced thermal insulation and fire protection systems engineered to enhance battery safety, thermal stability, and reliability in high-energy-density environments.
Why EV Battery Thermal & Fire Protection Matters
Lithium-ion battery systems operate under high energy density and tight thermal limits. Uncontrolled heat buildup, thermal runaway, or fire propagation can lead to catastrophic failure, safety risks, and regulatory non-compliance.
Effective thermal insulation and fire protection are therefore not optional — they are mission-critical safety systems that protect battery packs, vehicles, and surrounding infrastructure.
Controls heat transfer within battery modules
Delays and mitigates thermal runaway propagation
Improves battery performance and lifecycle
