Revolutionary Flame Protection for E-Mobility
Quantix® ULTRA sets new standards in safety
When batteries overheat, every second counts. With Quantix® ULTRA, Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a high-performance plastic that withstands temperatures as high as 1,200 °C (2,192°F) for more than 30 minutes — without melting or combusting. With this product, Freudenberg is showing its material competence and contributes to a significant improvement of fire protection in e-mobility.
Technology that matters: developed for maximum safety and the extreme temperatures in electric mobility.

A new class of material
Quantix® ULTRA is a hybrid of cross-linked thermosets and non-cross-linked thermoplastics. This new class of material retains its shape even under extreme conditions. A patented in-line process enables the polymer chains to crosslink directly during injection molding. The material can be transformed into complex 3D shapes, and the process eliminates an additional production step — saving time, costs, and emissions.
Proven in testing, ready for production
Quantix® ULTRA is significantly more resistant than aluminum and many other thermoplastics that are specially equipped for flame protection. Following successful flame and battery tests, the material is already in series production.
Versatile use
What began in e-mobility has the potential to transform many other industries. Quantix® ULTRA is suitable wherever flame resistance and lightweight constructions are required — including renewable energy and aerospace sectors.
Fact of the day
1,200 °C
(2192°F) for more than 30 minutes:
That’s how long Quantix® ULTRA withstands the flame.
