Baker Aviation&nbsp;is celebrating&nbsp;the 10-year anniversary of its Hot-Stop L fire-containment system. Introduced in 2007, the product, as well as the line of Hot-Stop L fire-containment kits, were developed as a result of safety concerns about lithium-ion battery fires erupting from a variety of electronic devices. The bags&nbsp;are now used to contain fires that occur in&nbsp;portable chargers and battery packs, as well as e-cigarettes, laptops, tablets, defibrillators and more.&nbsp;Baker Aviation (Booth 6910) is a first-time exhibitor at this year's Heli-Expo. "We are excited to be here at Heli-Expo to introduce our proven, tested and burn-certified safety tool to the helicopter market," said Baker Aviation president and COO Ray Goyco. 


The Hot-Stop L line features the Hot-Stop L fire-containment kits, which include bags and gloves, and the&nbsp;Evo product line, available in multiple sizes and featuring airtight zippers. The Hot Stop&nbsp;products are made of several inner layers of fabric with a 3,200 deg F melting point that are sandwiched between two outer layers with a 2,080 deg F melting point. The Evo zipper technology provides another layer of security.


Baker Aviation’s line of fire-containment kits have burn certifications and have been tested to hold a battery in full thermal runaway until it burns itself out. These products can be used as a preventative measure for devices that show possible signs of overheating before a fire breaks out.


&nbsp;“Our success began in the business aviation market, as safety management systems are highly emphasized, and the trend for these Part 91 and 135 operators is to secure their passengers' safety, at all costs," Goyco said. "Our core technology remains the same, incorporating proven materials that come from the firefighting industry, and we have always received burn certifications for our products. Flight departments recognized the value of our proven and tested solution many years ago and appreciate the lightweight, easy to store and deploy benefits.”
