Baker Aviation (Booth 1724), which distributes the Hot-Stop L fire containment bags manufactured by Industrial Energy Products, is offering a retrofit solution for clients who wish to upgrade their earlier bags to the same standard as the new Evolution models.
“As pioneers in this fire-containment market, we wanted to offer our loyal customers who purchased the original Hot-Stop L laptop, XL tablet or tablet-size kits from 2010 to 2015 an opportunity to upgrade to the latest technology without incurring the larger out-of-pocket expense of purchasing a new bag,” said Baker Aviation president and COO Ray Goyco. “We will coordinate with our customers to send the legacy Hot-Stop bag to the manufacturer, where the same airtight zipper that is used in the Hot-Stop Evolution bags will be inserted for a fraction of the cost of a new bag.”
Designed initially to isolate the threat of a runaway lithium-ion battery fire from any of the numerous personal electronic devices powered by them, the bags have evolved to deal with the heavy smoke that can accompany these fires as well. Launched earlier this year, the new zero-tolerance bag incorporates the latest zipper technology that adds an extra barrier to contain battery smoke, fire and explosions. The product is designed to contain a device in full thermal runaway until it has burned itself out. It can also be used as a preventative measure if a device shows signs of overheating.
