Syntactic Foam & Li-on Batteries
With the recent ban on transporting lithium-ion batteries as cargo in passenger planes, regulators and industry are exploring novel ways to contain thermal runaway conditions. Syntactic foams offer potential due to their critical material properties.
Engineered Syntactic Foam as Structural Material
Engineered syntactic foams are used in a number of challenging environments. ESS discusses the benefits and advantages of such materials for use in infrastructure applications where stringent fire safety regulations require high performance and specific attributes.
