There are significant and unique risks involved in cargo shipments of lithium batteries. Among these are that thousands of lithium batteries can be packaged together for shipping, creating the potential for a chain reaction in the event of a fire and/or explosion. This reaction was the case for UPS Airlines Flight 6, which crashed in 2010 near Dubai after a pallet containing more than 81,000 lithium batteries caught fire in the cargo hold during flight. Additional factors exacerbated the situation, and the plane crashed, killing its two pilots — the only crew on board. There were no additional casualties on the ground. Should a similar scenario occur in a densely populated area, the outcome would be even more tragic and catastrophic.

Protect you passengers, pilots, crew and your asset. Although there are less lithium batteries on a corporate aircraft they are still at great risk for lithium battery fire incidents. The PG 100 allows for the user to immediately scoop up the device prior to extinguishing and cooling which minimizes potential damage to the aircraft. It is the only device that has protection for the user and the passengers with its polycarbonate blast shield. Once encapsulated all of the toxic smoke is filtered through the particulate filters and the device can be fully submerged in water to prevent future propagation mitigating the need to down the aircraft and allowing for uninterrupted air travel.
