Pack, ship and store your lithium-ion batteries using Obsidian Loose Shipping Material to reduce risks and help meet DOT hazmat regulations.
- Environmentally friendly recycled material helps reduce risks for packing, shipping and storing lithium-ion batteries
- Material is absorbent, cushioning, non-conductive and non-combustible
- Produces less airborne dust particles than vermiculite, which makes it easier to manage safe respiratory practices
- When used as a component in a shipping system, helps you comply with U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR 173.185(f)) when shipping a lithium battery that is suspected of being Damaged, Defective, or is Recalled (DDR)
- When used as a component in a shipping system, helps you comply with U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR 173.185(e)) when shipping low production runs and prototypes
- Also appropriate for use for DOT compliant shipping of non-DDR batteries used in e-bikes, laptops, hand-held tools, tablets, cellphones and other personal electronic devices (PEDs)(HMR; 49 CFR 173.185(b)(2))
- Intended for use as packing material for shipping and storing lithium-ion cells and batteries and should not be applied as a loose extinguishing agent to active fires
- During testing of lithium-ion batteries, third-party labs have shown that covered container wall temperatures remain significantly lower during thermal run-away events when using PIG Obsidian Loose Shipping Material compared to using no packing material and lower than when using vermiculite for the same purpose

Disclaimer
General Warning Statement Regarding Lithium-Ion BatteriesLithium-ion batteries can sometimes enter a state called "thermal runaway," which can sometimes lead to fire, explosion, and the release of toxic smoke and fumes. Lithium-ion battery fires are chemical reactions that can continue to burn even if deprived of oxygen.
Call the Fire Department immediately in the event of any fire, whether or not you choose to use products from New Pig. Fires create great risk of injury or death and property damage. In the event of any fire, warn others to evacuate the premises, call the Fire Department and assure that you have a clear path of escape. Do not take any unnecessary risks to combat a fire that has already started.
While no fire suppression device can fully extinguish a lithium-ion battery fire until the chemical reaction has completed, the products offered by New Pig may help temporarily reduce the risk of damage by managing thermal runaway, partially insulating the fires, and potentially reducing the paths for flame or heat to escape and spread.
This product is not guaranteed to prevent thermal runaway from starting or spreading beyond its immediate area. Burned or partially burned lithium-ion batteries have the potential to reignite and should be handled with extreme care by trained first responders or firefighters.
