(Watertown, CT) – March 13, 2024 – According to the National Transportation Safety Board, more than 4,000 electric cars catch fire each year caused by thermal runaway (TR), a phenomenon in which lithium-ion battery cells that charge the vehicles enter an uncontrollable, self-heating state during transport, often leading to deadly explosions. Now, two companies on different continents that produce TR solutions are joining forces to reduce that total. Specifically, Packaging And Crating Technologies (PACT®), a CT-based manufacturer of a proprietary, fire-suppressant paper wrap and BS Technics, a thermal interface material company in Korea, today announced an exclusive partnership that allows the expansion of PACT® Thermo …
