About Hollingsworth & Vose Company A High-Value Solution for Thermal Runaway Protection BarrierProTM is an advanced, glass fiber-based thermal barrier specifically engineered by Hollingsworth & Vose to enhance the safety and reliability of lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery systems. Designed for integration within battery packs used in electric vehicles and energy storage applications, BarrierProTM mitigates the spread of heat and flames in the event of cells overheating or thermal incidents. By delaying or preventing thermal runaway, BarrierProTM helps safeguard against catastrophic failure, enhances occupant safety, and reduces the risk of collateral property damage.Unique features include: Low thermal conductivity of 0.030 W/K-mHigh thermal stability up to 1200 oCCompressible/elasticFlammability rating: UL94-V0Electrically insulatingLight, flexible and strongMinimal dust - no external packaging requiredBarrierProTM is manufactured through a continuous industrial process, delivering a competitive cost advantage compared to alternative thermal barriers such as aerogel pads, ceramic or carbon fiber sheets, mica sheets, and polymeric foam pads.
