Testing & Proof

Proven where it matters — under fire

Materials for battery safety only count if they hold up in a real thermal runaway. Here is the third-party and in-house evidence: UL2596 enclosure tests, nail penetration, direct-flame and potting demonstrations.

The moment it matters

Direct flame, contained

A closer look at peak flame during the UL2596 enclosure test — the protected pack holds while heat and pressure build.

UL2596 — EV battery enclosure

Pyrowerkz contains a battery fire

Third-party UL2596 EV Battery Enclosure Material Safety Test (Project No. 4791261656). Without protection, the plastic lid blows off and fire spreads. With a Pyrowerkz-adhered lid, the pack contains the fire and holds structural integrity under impact and pressure.

What we test for

UL2596

Battery enclosure fire safety

Third-party EV battery enclosure material safety testing — fire containment and structural integrity through a thermal-runaway event.

Nail penetration

Induced cell failure

Deliberate cell puncture to trigger and observe thermal-runaway propagation — and how our materials arrest it.

Direct flame

Up to 1200-1500 °C

Direct-flame exposure of coated substrates and sheets, measuring backside temperature and burn-through resistance.

Potting

Cell-to-cell propagation

A normal pack sees multiple explosions from propagation; a Thermorphous-potted pack protects all but the punctured cell.

Direct-flame demonstration

A coated sheet under a direct torch

A Matwerkz protective sheet held under direct flame — the material chars and insulates rather than igniting or burning through.

SF203 coating: 1200 °C, backside stayed at 126 °C

In flame testing, a plastic (PP) substrate coated with SF203 withstood direct flame at 1200 °C for over 10 minutes — preventing ignition, burn-through and structural failure. After 3 minutes of fire exposure, the backside temperature of the coated sample remained as low as 126 °C, whereas an uncoated sample would have burned through.
