Li-ion battery manufacturer to venture into space
According to the Irish firm, its PPR technology is capable of preventing single and multi-cell thermal runaway within a battery pack by utilizing an ultra-lightweight fire-retardant structural foam which, in this specific case, is 90% lighter than competing PPR technologies.
“We have experienced an excellent market reception of our recently launched Hibernium platform, partially thanks to the market-leading safety-first design. This project with ESA further strengthens our position as leaders in module and pack technology, not only for heavy-duty vehicles but for battery packs in general,” Thomas Tomaszewski, VP of business development at Xerotech, said in the brief.
