Lithium-ion batteries—especially aged or damaged ones—pose serious risks, including thermal runaway, explosions, and the release of toxic gases. As demand for safe energy storage and transport grows, traditional safety methods often fall short.
ENVAION’s AkkuGrain® offers a smarter, safer, and more economical solution. At the heart of this innovation is a patent-pending, grain-based smart material developed by experts in lithium-ion battery technology and chemistry.
Slows heat progression and minimizes fire risks
Helps contain impacts and mitigate chain reactions
Minimizes the release of hazardous emissions to improve safety
AkkuGrain® meets strict industry safety standards and is certified under P911 – 4kWh DOT SP
BASF has partnered with Envaion to develop a cutting-edge box solution for the safe storage and transport of EV batteries and modules. Prioritizing ease of use and maximum safety, BASF selected Envaion’s innovative containers with AkkuGrain inlay to ensure a simple, secure, and efficient handling process.
With lithium batteries posing a risk of thermal runaway, Envaion’s advanced safety containers provide BASF with peace of mind, enabling safe daily storage and transport operations.
"We store and handle Lithium-Batteries on a daily basis - those come with a risk of Thermal Runaway. Thanks to Envaion´s safety containers that include the AkkuGrain, we can sleep safely."
