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.

MASTIC by FIRELAB is a fireproof fire protection paste for passive fire protection. Mastic is designed to effectively seal openings, penetrations, and connection areas in fire-resistant components. Such areas occur, for example, where cables, pipes, or technical installations pass through walls, ceilings, or floors. Without suitable sealing, such penetrations can weaken the fire resistance of a component. This is where Mastic comes into play.
FireLab Mastic is a powerful mastic paste for fire protection applications. The product is used to seal penetrations, cable openings, and service penetrations in fire-resistant components. In combination with mineral wool, it creates a stable fire barrier that helps limit the spread of fire and smoke through openings.
FireLab Mastic is a solution for passive fire protection. Unlike active systems such as sprinklers or smoke alarms, passive fire protection functions continuously in the background. It forms part of the building structure and is designed to halt the uncontrolled spread of fire, smoke, and hot gases during an incident. Mastic is utilized where fire-resistant materials are compromised by technical installations. This encompasses cable penetrations, duct openings, service passages, and additional breaches. These openings can become weak points during a fire if not adequately sealed. By applying FireLab Mastic with mineral wool, a robust fire barrier is established. This pairing supports the fire safety integrity of walls, ceilings, and floors. Mastic assists in preventing or greatly minimizing the transmission of fire and smoke.
