NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. , March 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspen Aerogels, Inc. (NYSE: ASPN) (" Aspen ", the "Company"), a technology leader in aerogel-based sustainability and electrification solutions, today announced that the Company will participate in the 39th Annual International Battery Seminar & Exhibit, the industry's premier event showcasing the state of the art of worldwide energy storage technology developments for consumer, automotive, military, and industrial applications. Aspen is a premiere sponsor of the event and will be a featured speaker on the topic of Battery Safety, specifically Thermal Propagation.

39 ^th Annual International Battery Seminar & Exhibit / March 28-31, 2022 ( Orlando, FL )
As part of the Seminar's Battery Safety track, John Williams , Vice President Technical Services, will present "Don't Just Delay Thermal Propagation, Stop It."

Mr. Williams noted, "The Chinese government mandates that passengers must have a 5-minute window to exit their vehicle after detection of thermal runaway. While this is a step forward, a better goal is to stop thermal propagation. Single-cell thermal runaways that propagate to module-, pack-, or vehicle-level will, even at low incident rates, dampen acceptance of BEVs." Mr. Williams will discuss how aerogel-based thermal barrier materials can help achieve this goal within space, weight, and cost constraints.

Presentation: Don't Just Delay Thermal Propagation, Stop It
Date: March 29 , 2022
Time: 12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time

In addition, Mr. Williams will host a round table which will focus on Thermal Runaway: Mitigation & Prevention

About International Battery Seminar & Exhibit.
Founded in 1983, the International Battery Seminar & Exhibit has established itself as the premier event showcasing the state of the art of worldwide energy storage technology developments for consumer, automotive, military, and industrial applications. Key thought leaders will assemble to not only provide broad perspectives, but also informed insights into significant advances in materials, product development, manufacturing, and application for all battery systems and enabling technologies. As the longest-running annual battery industry event in the world, this meeting has always been the preferred venue to announce significant developments, new products, and showcase the most advanced battery technology. For example, Sony chose the International Battery Seminar as the platform to first announce its lithium-ion technology in 1991, an accomplishment that has since gone on to change the world.
