Connecticut packaging company finds a place on the world stage

The TR Sleeve, created by Packaging And Crating Technologies (PACT) in Watertown, Connecticut, was featured at Europe’s largest industry battery expo in Stuttgart, Germany, June 18 through 20. The sleeve is part of PACT’s patented Thermo Shield paper wrap to control lithium battery fires. Courtesy PACT.

Packaging And Crating Technologies LLC (PACT) may be based in Watertown in Litchfield County, but it has taken its show on the international road, expanding its innovative product line that prevents lithium-ion battery fires to numerous affiliates in South Korea earlier this year. Last week in Stuttgart, Germany, the family-owned company presented its newest safety solutions to the 20,000 attendees at the European Battery Show, which brought together 

engineers, research and development executives, quality control experts, business leaders and manufacturing companies from around the globe to discuss solutions to challenges facing the high-tech world. Specifically, the PACT team led an educational session while unveiling its newest tools in preventing lithium-ion battery fires – the TR Sleeve and the TR Envelope. 

“We are uniquely positioned to address the hot topics of how to safely charge, transport and recycle lithium-ion batteries that are used to power a variety of e-mobility equipment and handheld devices,” said Rodger Mort, PACT’s chief operating officer. He added that this is because of the company’s patented flagship product, Thermo Shield, a lightweight paper material 

with a moisture vapor ink application that prevents thermal runaway and thus, explosive fires and deadly gas emission.  

 One of its emerging formats that was on display was the TR Sleeve, which uses the same technology as Thermo Shield but individually wraps around each battery cell to prevent thermal runaway propagation within electric vehicles, battery packs and renewable energy storage systems. Mort added that TR Sleeve can be applied to all battery cell designs and ensures comprehensive protection by serving as a heat and flame barrier without compromising the overall performance of the battery. The biodegradable TR Sleeve preserves the environment in that it neutralizes smoke formation so that harmful hydrogen and methane gas are not circulated into the air. 

The European Battery Show also saw the debut of the TR Envelope, made from the PACT Thermo Shield and designed to transport and recycle smaller devices such as cell phones, tablets, pagers, smartwatches and rechargeable A to D batteries safely.  Besides everyday consumer use, PACT plans on marketing TR Envelope to airports and airlines as passengers are mandated to put away their cell phones during certain times of the flight for safety reasons. 

It’s a natural leap for PACT, which was founded in 2012 by green packaging professionals Michael Jackson Sr. and Larry Nussbaum to embrace a green future by designing cost-effective, patented, crating solutions like LiftVans and PleatWrap, as well as custom packaging for the aerospace, medical, electronics, tooling, machinery, furniture, fine art and automotive sectors.   

The company is a member of the Commercial Relocation Network, the Council on Safe Transportation of Hazardous Materials and the International Association of Movers. It is also a preferred vendor for the U.S. Department of Defense and has been awarded a special permit from the U.S. Department of Transportation for the shipping of lithium-ion batteries, as it has passed the SAE-G-27 test standard for the shipping of these batteries by commercial airlines. 

“We’re so excited to introduce our latest innovations that reduce battery fires on an international stage,” said Mort.  “If we can save even one life, while preventing property damage and personal injury, we’ve done our job.”
