All-round protection for tomorrow’s energy storage devices
In our technology-driven society, high-performance batteries are indispensable. Their importance will continue to increase as mobility concepts keep evolving. At the same time, the requirements for fire protection in battery technology are constantly increasing. Appropriate fire protection measures are essential for the safe use of high-voltage energy systems throughout the entire battery lifecycle – from production and storage to transport, use and recycling.
With over 50 years of experience in research and development, we are a leading manufacturer of innovative fire protection products for industrial applications. We offer safe and fast material testing, thanks to our newly developed battery fire simulation method and in-house fire furnaces. Together with you, we will develop the right solution for your application.

Advanced testing for battery fire protection: our patented method
Battery fires pose immense stresses on battery cases and surrounding environments. To mitigate these risks, various protective materials are employed. These materials must withstand extreme temperatures, pressure changes and particle bombardment. Our patented testing method offers a quick, easy, and cost-effective way to evaluate these materials. We simulate the stresses a battery case (housing) experiences during a fire, providing invaluable support for our customers’ subsquent material selection process. Our particle impact testing method provides a comprehensive, well-structured approach because the duration of the actual stress exerted on the battery, the maximum temperature, the particle size (granulometry) required for particle bombardment as well as the distance and angle between the test specimen and the particle outlet opening can be adjusted as required. This approach allows us to vary all relevant parameters accurately, flexibly, and quickly – tailored to your specific needs.
Fields of application of our fire protection materials
Battery market trends and evolving requirements
The growing demand for batteries is largely driven by the transformation of electromobility, with the automotive industry leading the way. However, other sectors, such as rail transport and recreational equipment like e-bikes, are also contributing significantly to this rise in demand. Beyond e-mobility, industries such as energy storage systems (ESS) and consumer goods are also expected to see substantial growth in their need for battery systems. To address these evolving market requirements, KuhnOdice provides tailored fire protection solutions designed to ensure safety across a wide range of applications.
