Packaging for hazardous materials transport
Explosive goods safely packed
The innovative hazardous goods packaging for airbags
For maximum but still cost-efficient protection of e.g. airbags, we offer our FiREbox.
This packaging reliably passes UN test 6c (bonfire) for class 9 and thus fulfils the highest requirements for hazardous goods packaging.
The heart of the FiREbox
A specially developed metal mesh which is built into the corrugated board offers the highest possible safety when it matters most.
The metal mesh withstands extremely high temperatures, strong shock waves and flying debris.
With FiREbox, class 9 hazardous goods packaging need no longer be expensive or oversized.
The basis
Delivered in a space-saving flat format, the standard design FiREbox is set up in seconds.
In addition, other shapes and designs can be punched from the material easily. It offers all options for putting the protection where it is needed when developing hazardous goods packaging.
Thus, in order to reduce cost and effort, it is possible to simply manufacture special inserts from the material.
The accessories
The standard insert is also delivered in a flat and space-saving format. In just a few simple steps, the airbag is fixed in its place, shake proof and unable to shift position within the FiREbox.
What makes this insert special are the little tabs and punch-outs that allow for safe placing of the insert – either in the FiREbox for critical airbags or directly into the hazardous goods packaging for non-critical airbags.
Again, with one insert for two applications, you save on storage costs and benefit from logistics and handling advantages.
The closing mechanism
The FiREbox for the shipping of replacement parts features the proven QUiCKLock fast closing mechanism, allowing for quick closure of the box with no need for glue or tacks.
Then, for critical airbags, the FiREbox is shipped in a standard hazmat box.
The UN series 6C bonfire test
During this bonfire test, 4 FiREboxes containing 5 airbags each were tested on the fire grate. The first explosions occurred after about 12 minutes.
16 parts remained on the grate. Only 4 parts were propelled away but landed less than 3.5 metres from the grate.
