What Sets Us Apart

Built Different. Built to Contain.

Thermarrest systems aren't off-the-shelf enclosures. They're engineered from the ground up for the realities of battery thermal runaway.

Deployability

Rapid-deployment design means systems are operational when and where you need them — from flightline to freight terminal.

Modular

Adaptable components let you configure systems to match your exact risk profile. Add, remove, or reconfigure as your needs evolve.

Variable Volume

Containment capacity that scales. Our variable-volume architecture handles everything from small cell failures to large-format pack incidents.

Gas Effluent Control

Uniquely engineered to address both flammable and toxic gas effluent — the hidden danger most containment systems ignore.

Compliance & Certifications

Certified to the Standards That Matter

Our systems meet and exceed the most demanding safety standards — the same ones trusted by the FAA, Department of Defense, and Department of Transportation to protect lives and critical infrastructure.

UL 5800

Standard for battery safety containment systems — covering structural integrity, thermal resistance, and re-ignition protection.

UL 1487

Fire containment — validated for suppressing and containing lithium-ion battery thermal runaway events and associated fire propagation.

FAA Alignment: Both UL 5800 and UL 1487 specifications are referenced by the FAA for battery safety compliance in aviation applications.

Certification Testing

About Thermarrest

Engineering Safety
Where It Matters Most

Thermarrest Safety Systems was founded on a singular mission: to contain the unpredictable and devastating effects of lithium-ion battery thermal runaway. As battery technology proliferates across military, transportation, and commercial sectors, the risk escalates — and so must the response.

Our team of engineers and safety professionals brings decades of experience in hazardous material containment, fire protection engineering, and compliance-driven product development. We work hand-in-hand with agencies like the U.S. Air Force, DOT, and commercial airlines to develop solutions that perform under the most demanding conditions imaginable.

Proven in the Field

"Thermarrest's modular containment system allowed us to retrofit our existing battery storage facility without a complete overhaul. The gas effluent management was a game-changer for our compliance requirements."

ML

Martin L.

Logistics Director, Government Contractor

"We evaluated several containment solutions. Only Thermarrest addressed both the thermal event AND the toxic gas byproduct. That dual protection is critical for our ground crew safety protocols."

SK

Sarah K.

Safety Officer, Commercial Aviation

"The consultation process was outstanding. They didn't just sell us a product — they analyzed our entire battery handling workflow and engineered a solution that fit seamlessly. True partners in safety."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't find your answer? Reach out directly — our team responds to every inquiry.

Our systems are engineered for lithium-ion battery chemistries across all form factors — from small consumer-grade cells to large-format EV and energy storage modules. The variable-volume architecture means we can scale containment to match virtually any battery configuration.

While our primary clients are government agencies (Air Force, DOT), airlines, and commercial enterprises, we welcome inquiries from any business or individual with a legitimate battery safety need. All engagements begin with a consultation to determine the right solution.

It starts with a conversation. You tell us about your battery types, operating environment, and risk profile. If you already know your specifications, we'll provide a direct quote. If not, our engineers will assess your needs and recommend a tailored solution with pricing. No pressure, no commitment — just expert guidance.

Unlike standard fire containment, our systems integrate gas management pathways that capture, filter, and safely vent both flammable gases (like hydrogen) and toxic gases (like hydrogen fluoride) produced during thermal runaway. This dual-protection approach is a core differentiator and is critical for enclosed environments like aircraft hangars and transit facilities.

Yes. Our products meet UL 5800 and UL 1487 specifications, which are recognized by the FAA for battery safety compliance in aviation contexts. We can also provide documentation and support for specific agency approval processes as part of our consulting engagement.

Absolutely. Our modular, variable-volume architecture is designed for adaptability. Whether you need a compact unit for a vehicle bay or a large-scale system for a warehouse, we engineer the solution around your requirements — not the other way around.
