LiBa®Rescue – Textile Recovery System for Electric and Hybrid Vehicles:
Recovering electric and hybrid vehicles requires special safety precautions. A reliable hazard assessment is often not possible, as damaged battery systems may react with delay and thermal runaway events generally cannot be actively extinguished.
Thermal runaway – a critical risk:
If a single cell within a battery pack is damaged, a chain reaction can occur. The likelihood and timing of a thermal runaway depend on multiple factors, including battery design, cell chemistry, state of charge, ambient temperature, and cooling system integrity. In some cases, reactions may occur hours or even days later.
Maximum safety during recovery:
Damaged batteries pose an immediate fire and explosion risk. Escaping gases and vehicle components can ignite at any time. Conventional firefighting methods – especially cooling with large amounts of water or submerging the vehicle – are inefficient, environmentally problematic, and typically result in total loss of the vehicle.
The efficient alternative:
LiBa®Rescue is a reusable textile recovery system designed to safely isolate electric and hybrid vehicles. Based on the advanced composite material LiBa®Tex, it provides comprehensive protection:
- Non-flammable high-performance composite textile
- Reduction of oxygen supply to limit reactions
- Controlled release of battery gases including HF reduction
- Integrated aramid layer for protection against exploding components
- Reusable and cost-efficient solution
Designed for real-world operations:
- Opposing, color-coded zippers
- Tie-down loops and double Velcro closures
- Integrated deployment folding system
- Load securing access points and draw function
- Protective inner lining to prevent surface damage
- Cut-resistant and barrier layers to contain hazardous fluids
Your benefit:
LiBa®Rescue protects emergency personnel while significantly reducing environmental impact and follow-up costs. It minimizes the need for large volumes of extinguishing water and provides a controlled, safe solution for handling damaged high-voltage batteries.
