ContraFlame® S-Series
A thin, lightweight barrier for space-constrained packs, the ContraFlame® S- Series gives engineers greater flexibility to tailor protection around individual battery requirements.
Item link
ContraFlame® F30
ContraFlame® F30 is a lightweight rebound protection material that fills cavities within battery systems, helping to contain thermal runaway, fire and hot gases to protect neighbouring cells.
Item link
ContraFlame® F4-Series
ContraFlame® F4- Series is a lightweight rebound protection foam for high density prismatic and cylindrical battery cells, offering protection during thermal runaway and extreme fire events.

AIS thermal barrier battery protection chosen for leading Korean EV platform
As EV adoption accelerates, battery safety remains a critical engineering priority. One of the most significant risks is thermal runaway, a chain reaction where heat from a failing lithium-ion cell spreads rapidly to neighbouring cells, potentially leading to fire events that are difficult to control. A leading Korean Tier-1 automotive supplier required a thermal barrier solution capable of meeting stringent performance requirements while supporting rapid development. AIS provided ContraFlame® S109, an advanced thermal barrier material for a next-generation electric vehicle (EV) battery platform.

Fire protection

Testing batteries under extreme conditions

AIS develops and tests fire protection solutions for extreme internal and external heat sources, including battery thermal propagation and panfire scenarios. From our UK-based facility, Europe’s largest battery testing and material development centre, we validate solutions under real-world conditions to help EV and hybrid vehicle OEMs meet rigorous safety standards including ECE R100 and GB 38031-2020.
