Testing:

The materials used in our bags have been FAA certified (certificates available upon request). The tests conducted in accordance with Title 14 CFR, PART 25- Subpart D, § 25.853 (a) compartment interiors. [Amdt. 25-116, 69 FR 62788, Nov 26, 2004] Appendix F to Part 25, Part I (a)(1)(ii) [Amdt. 25-111, Eff. 9/2/2003] and FAA Compliant...

Rapidly expanding gases released during a Lithium-Ion thermal runaway makes a containment bag want to blow up like a balloon. Velcro will easily pull apart and release almost all of the dangerous smoke (possibly debris and flames as well) unless it is used on a pull over flap like our design. We conducted tests using small explosives to over emphasize our bags capacity to contain rapid expansion. Our explosion and fire containment bags passed these violent detonation tests with zero exterior damage and the flaps all held in place 100%. 

Our bags were tested on 4 separate occasions with an overheated laptop, each containing a 3,500mAh - 4500mAh Lithium-Ion battery. The computers melted and burned during these 1 hour tests. The bags showed zero exterior damage. The pull over flaps combined with our carbon liner also absorbed a significant amount of smoke.

Tests were conducted with an overheated laptop and cell phone battery (combined capacity of 8,000 mAh- twice as much power as a typical laptop). Our bag passed this test with 100% containment.

Materials & Design:

Our bags are not pouches. They actually have a side wall which allows for a much wider opening. When seconds count we wanted it to be as easy as possible to slip a device in... The large opening allows people under tremendous pressure to successfully remove the threat.

Using Patented materials our bags contain a layer of Kevlar should the explosion be so violent as to launch dangerous projectiles at ballistic velocities. Our carbon liner has a temp rating of 3,000 degrees (F). Another layer is designed to withstand molten metals (similar temp potentials found with melting battery components). The bright safety orange exterior makes it easy to identify in the event of an emergency.

The bright safety orange exterior makes it easy to identify in the event of an emergency.

Even with all this protection our bags are completely pliable, which makes them able to be rolled or folded, making storage in tight storage areas possible.

Why A Containment Bag? Why Not Water? Why Not An Extinguisher?

Some airlines have been slow to adopt a specific policy other than dousing the thermal runaway in water... Lithium-ion batteries do not need oxygen to burn. Once they have ignited, contact with water will produce steam vapour. This vapour will likely be laced with extremely toxic heavy metals and be far more dangerous than smoke alone. Steam vapour penetrates more efficiently. Sinus and lung tissue would be very vulnerable should this happen (or even fabrics on board which could then require costly clean up and even replacement depending on the extent of the saturation).

There are many variables to consider, but we believe closing the threat into one of our bags and sealing it in a lavatory as quickly as possible is the best possible solution in most instances.

Bag Storage/ Usage:

Please always store fire containment bags in a dry place out of direct sunlight (prolonged moisture or UV exposure can compromise bag strength). Our Containment Bags are intended for a single use.

Bag Maintenance:

We recommend an annual inspection on all Containment Bags. When conducting your inspection determine whether there are any tears or rips. Are there any signs of prolonged UV/ sunlight exposure (colour fading), or signs of prolonged moisture exposure (discoloration, mildew, or mold)? If so, we recommend immediate replacement.

Limited Warranty:

We offer a 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects. Please contact us via email to authorize bag replacement in the unlikely event of a defect.

Please Note: While our carbon liner does absorb a significant amount of smoke, this bag is not designed to contain it all. 

Please Note: Handle overheating batteries & electronic devices at your own risk. Our Fire Containment Bags, Fire Containment Blankets, and Smoke Containment Bags are tough! They are designed to add another course of action in the event of an overheating electronics battery. Our products are designed to greatly reduce the risk of bodily harm & property damage, but due to the unpredictable nature of battery fires, the multitude of battery types, and the possibility of human error we cannot guarantee no harm or damage will result when using them. Once a product has been used to contain an overheating device please order a replacement immediately.
