What is X-Max™?

X-Max™ is a next-generation protective panel system developed by NUTEC Protective Concepts and Advanced Fabric Technologies. Featuring patent-pending and proprietary technology, it is specifically engineered to mitigate the effects of thermal runaway in lithium-ion power units and shield critical infrastructure from flame, heat, and blast events.

Commercial lithium-ion battery packs are essential for backup power in data centers, hospitals, telecom towers, and financial institutions. When thermal runaway occurs, it can trigger fires and explosions with devastating consequences. X-Max™ is designed to stand between your infrastructure and those failures.

Ideally suited for environments with critical power-supply requirements, flammable or explosive conditions, or sensitive infrastructure that demands multi-hazard protection.

Key Features:

X-Max™ combines the best of two advanced technologies to deliver comprehensive multi-hazard protection in a single panel system.

  • Auxetic fabric outer layer
  • High Temperature Insulation up to 3000°F
  • Blast rated to 60 psi
  • High temperature bonding system
  • Synergistic functional behavior

Core Technology

Powered by Two Industry Leaders

X-Max™ uniquely combines two independently proven technologies into one integrated protection system.

Xtegra™ Auxetic Fabric

by Advanced Fabric Technologies

Xtegra™ uses an auxetic structure that expands laterally when stretched, making it exceptionally effective at absorbing and dispersing blast energy.

MaxShield®

by NUTEC

MaxShield® SMG HI is NUTEC's high-temperature insulation solution with a long track record in fire-rated applications across multiple industries and environments.
