The increasing prevalence of lithium-ion batteries in electric vehicles, solar systems, and many electronic devices brings not only technological advancements but also new challenges in fire safety.
Fires caused by lithium-ion batteries pose unique risks, as conventional fire extinguishers designed for standard fire types are often not adequately effective.
This can delay extinguishment and significantly increase the extent of damage and danger. In response to this issue, “FlameBlock Lithium Black” is introduced as an innovative safety solution specifically developed for lithium-ion battery fires.

FIRELAB represents a molecularly engineered fire protection system that goes far beyond traditional safety concepts. This modern approach ensures that fire protection works not only at the surface level but directly on the molecular structure of the treated materials. It is at this level that the chemical reactions enabling fire, heat, and flame spread occur.
FIRELAB products deliberately combine multiple mechanisms of action. It is the harmonious interaction of these different mechanisms that is responsible for the excellent results. Depending on the product and area of application, various physical and chemical processes can be activated simultaneously, complementing each other and enhancing the protective effect.
Unlike conventional fire protection measures that primarily cool, smother, or delay fires, this molecularly engineered fire protection actively intervenes in the combustion process. The active ingredients purposefully bond with the material and sustainably alter its fire behavior. Combustible gases are reduced, chemical chain reactions are interrupted, and the formation and spread of flames are significantly inhibited.
By combining several coordinated mechanisms of action, a comprehensive fire protection system is created that not only combats individual fire effects but also targets various critical points in the combustion process simultaneously.
Detailed information on composition, properties, application, storage, safety, environmental compatibility, and disposal can be found in the respective technical data sheets and safety data sheets of each product. These documents contain product-specific information and must always be observed during selection, handling, and use.
For us, it’s not only about the technical description of our products. What matters is that our customers can see, test, and comprehend the effectiveness of FIRELAB solutions themselves.
That’s why we explicitly encourage you to test your own materials. Whether it’s textiles, wood, building materials, technical surfaces, or industrial materials: Together we will analyze the respective application and demonstrate under realistic conditions how the fire behavior can be altered through the appropriate FIRELAB solution. After all, there’s no more convincing evidence than a direct comparison with your own material.
FIRELAB – Passive Fire Protection at the Molecular Level
FIRELAB’s passive fire protection addresses the source of fire: the material itself. Molecularly engineered active ingredients intentionally bind with the structure of the treated materials, altering their fire behavior in a sustainable way. This includes reducing the release of combustible gases and inhibiting chemical chain reactions that are responsible for the ignition and spread of fire.
In contrast to conventional protective measures, this fire protection acts preventively. Depending on the material and application, flame spread, smoke development, heat release, and fire load can be significantly reduced. Functionality, appearance, and material character are preserved as much as possible. This creates a discreet, lasting protection that reduces risks even before a potential fire event.
FIRELAB – Active Fire Protection for Emergencies
In addition to preventive solutions, FIRELAB offers active products designed for targeted use in case of a fire.
These solutions are developed to effectively combat fires, rapidly lower temperatures, and limit the further spread of flames. They intervene where rapid and controlled action is required.
Through targeted cooling, interruption of relevant combustion processes, and controlled extinguishing effects, fire dynamics can be reduced. Adjacent areas are protected, secondary damages can be limited, and valuable time for further actions can be gained.
FIRELAB – A Comprehensive Fire Protection Concept
The integration of passive and active fire protection makes FIRELAB a holistic safety concept. The products leverage the combination of several mechanisms of action that collectively account for the excellent results. Their foundation lies in modern findings from chemistry, material science, and thermodynamics.
This results in innovative, specialized, and environmentally conscious fire protection solutions for various requirements in construction, industry, technology, and other application areas. FIRELAB stands for fire protection that prevents, intervenes deliberately, and whose effectiveness can be demonstrably validated.
We invite you to test the effectiveness of FIRELAB products for yourself. Send us your requirements or discuss your specific application with us. Together, we will select the appropriate solution and demonstrate through a practical test what difference the treatment can make.
Our goal is not just to talk about effectiveness but to make it visible.
Vogt-CTE and FIRELAB are currently working together to build a European network of qualified sales and application partners. We are looking for companies and specialists who wish to establish innovative fire protection solutions in their markets, provide competent customer advice, and assist with practical applications. We would be happy to discuss with you about:
We would be delighted to showcase our products, jointly test your materials, and discuss the possibilities of collaboration.
