W. L. Gore & Associates makes vents for sealed battery enclosures and thermal insulation that slows thermal runaway between battery cells.
GORE Battery Insulation is a thin, compression-resistant thermal barrier for modules in grid-scale and residential energy storage systems. It is designed to keep insulating under heat and pressure for the life of the installation. Gore's battery vents protect sealed enclosures for lithium-ion and EFB batteries, and include a thermal runaway evacuation vent.
