VOGT-CTE - WE DELIVER FLAME RETARDANTS

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.

TITAN by FIRELAB - Automatic Fire Protection - Fire Safety Films - The Self-Activating Fire Protection Sticker

TITAN by FIRELAB – Electrical fires often occur in places where they are not immediately visible: in outlets, switch boxes, distribution cabinets, circuit breakers, machines, vehicles, or technical enclosures. A loose connection, overheating, dust, moisture, material fatigue, or defects can be enough for heat to ignite a fire.

TITAN is a self-adhesive fire protection sticker with microencapsulated extinguishing technology. It is installed near potential ignition sources and is designed to automatically respond in case of a sudden temperature rise. According to the product information, TITAN activates at approximately 120 °C: The polymer shell of the microcapsules breaks open and releases an extinguishing agent. The system is described as providing autonomous protection without the need for electricity, sensors, or maintenance.

Titan brings fire protection directly to the potential ignition source

TITAN is a self-adhesive fire protection sticker featuring micro-encapsulated extinguishing technology. According to the product information, TITAN has the following properties:

self-adhesive and ready for installation
available in various sizes
designed for multiple suppression events at a ignition source
automatic activation at approximately 120 °C
no power supply required
no sensors required
no regular maintenance needed
dielectric and non-conductive
suitable for areas with electrical installations
effective even in smoke, humidity, and power failure
eco-friendly with rapid atmospheric degradation
operates through rapid cooling and chemical flame inhibition

Thus, TITAN is not a traditional fire extinguisher that needs to be searched for and operated. TITAN is already positioned where heat may arise and responds automatically when the activation temperature is reached.

The greatest benefit is realized in areas where electrical components operate continuously, are poorly visible, or remain unattended. In such locations, TITAN can offer significant safety: discreet in everyday life but ready in critical moments. TITAN should always be installed close to a potential ignition source without interfering with operation, ventilation, or the safe functioning of the system.

Titan or Atom - What’s the difference?

ATOM = Technology and Active Ingredient Platform

ATOM Capsules refers to the actual microcapsule technology. The core consists of perfluorohexane, encased in an acrylate shell. The microcapsules are temperature-sensitive, require no power supply, and can be customized in terms of activation temperature and shape.

Thus, ATOM is not a single sticker, but rather a technological building block that can be integrated into various products:

Coatings and gels
Adhesives and pastes
Mats and tapes
Formed parts and covers
Fire protection cards and patches
Custom composite materials

TITAN = ready-made protective product

TITAN Stickers are a specific, ready-to-install application of ATOM technology.

The microcapsules are contained in a patch, sticker, or self-adhesive card. TITAN is applied directly to the vulnerable area, for example:

in electrical cabinets
on cable channel covers
in server and control cabinets
on battery enclosures
in machine controls
in mobile and tactical electronic systems

The technical documentation explicitly mentions self-activating fire protection cards as well as microcapsule patches under cable channel covers.

Titan - The Most Important Applications

When prioritizing applications based on safety benefits and performance impact, the following areas are particularly strong:

Distribution and control cabinets
Control panels and automation
Outlets and switch boxes
Server and network racks
Charging areas for batteries
Wallboxes and e-mobility
PV inverters and storage areas
Machine controls
Vacation rentals, hotels, and public buildings
Building services and technical utility rooms

Here, multiple risk factors often come together: continuous operation, electrical load, heat, poor visibility, hidden installation locations, and high consequential damages in the event of a fire.

Titan & Atom - How do these products work?

TITAN does not operate with electricity, battery, sensor, or mechanical trigger. The sticker is passively mounted and reacts to heat. When the temperature near the sticker rises significantly and reaches approximately 120 °C, the microcapsules open. This releases the extinguishing agent. The product information describes a dual action principle: rapid cooling and chemical suppression of the flame. The goal is to suppress an emerging fire as early as possible at the source before it can develop into a larger fire.

What makes TITAN special

Automatic – TITAN does not need to be sought, activated, or operated in case of an emergency. The sticker is already mounted and reacts independently to intense heat.
No electricity – TITAN requires no battery, power supply, wiring, or connection to a control system.
No sensors – There are no electronic components that need to be programmed, checked, or replaced.
Non-conductive – TITAN is described as dielectric and non-conductive. This is particularly important for use near electrical components.
Close to the source – The sticker is placed where a fire can start: in or near electrical components, housings, and technical installations.
Discreet, yet ready – TITAN takes up little space and works in the background. In normal operation, it is hardly noticeable. In case of an emergency, this very proximity to the hazard can be crucial.

Important safety principles: TITAN is a safety product. To ensure it is used sensibly and safely, clear rules must be followed.

Installation only by qualified individuals
TITAN must not be carelessly affixed in electrical installations. Those who open outlets, switch boxes, distributors, or control cabinets are working in a hazardous area. Installation in electrical systems should only be done by qualified professionals or under expert guidance. Especially for distribution boxes, fuse boxes, control cabinets, machines, and plants, an electrical specialist is required.
Never work on live components
Before any installation, it must be checked whether the system can be safely shut down. Work must not be conducted on open, live components. Electricity can be fatal. Even a small distribution box or a simple outlet can be dangerous if improperly worked on.
Do not damage the system
TITAN must not be installed in a way that interferes with cables, contacts, terminals, fuses, switches, relays, or ventilation openings. The sticker must not obstruct any moving parts or impede heat dissipation.
Do not replace repairs
TITAN is not a substitute for faulty electrical equipment. If an outlet is warm, smells, crackles, flickers, or discolors, the cause must be addressed. TITAN must not be used to cover known deficiencies. A safety product must never serve as an excuse to continue operating a hazardous installation.

FireLab Titan und Atom - DualUse

Civil Applications – ATOM and TITAN protect critical electrical systems in data centers, industrial facilities, energy storage, building technology, and transportation infrastructure. ATOM is integrated into coatings or components, while TITAN is specifically used in switch cabinets, distribution panels, UPS systems, and controls. This allows for early detection of fire outbreaks and immediate suppression at the point of danger.

Military Applications – In military vehicles, mobile command centers, communication systems, and tactical power supply, ATOM and TITAN protect mission-critical electronics under demanding operational conditions. ATOM enables integrated fire protection in coatings and components, while TITAN provides local protection in electrical enclosures and control systems. This reduces failures and supports the readiness of essential systems.

FireLab Titan and Atom - BESS and Data Center Application

In data centers, fire risks commonly arise in electrical cabinets, UPS systems, power distributions, server racks, and power electronics. High electrical loads, tight installation spaces, and round-the-clock operations can quickly lead to localized failures spreading.

ATOM is integrated as microcapsule technology directly into coatings, components, or protective materials. This results in a broad, temperature-activated fire protection for sensitive components.
TITAN is specifically mounted in electrical cabinets, distribution panels, UPS systems, and racks. The sticker directly responds to critical heat and suppresses the emerging fire at its source, before cables, servers, or nearby systems are affected.

ATOM protects the structure. TITAN protects the specific danger point. Together, they reduce fire propagation, consequential damage, and downtime in the data center.
