A Technological Solution to Prevent Electric Vehicle Fires: Akusta's Steam-Releasing Flame Retardant Battery Housing Solution
​Lithium battery fires in electric vehicles (EVs) have raised global concern due to the rapid spread of flames, intense fire, and difficulty in extinguishing them, which complicates emergency response. In certain regions of South Korea, emergency measures have been introduced, restricting EVs from parking in underground garages.
Battery Housing Solution by Akusta
Akusta: Fireproofing EV Batteries with Steam-Releasing Technology
Akusta provides a unique solution by applying its steam-releasing flame retardant resin technology to the battery housings of electric vehicles. This effectively isolates the fire source, slows the spread of flames, and prevents thermal runaway in the battery at high temperatures.
Akusta's fire-resistant plastics release steam when exposed to heat, providing a cooling effect. This technology not only enhances the safety of the battery system but also reduces the threat of fire to both people and property.
