Lipo Bags what are they made out of?

[evielement]

I like the idea of lipo bags, but i also think a bag to charge in is not the wisest choice when it comes to heat. I want to create a small box in which i can put two shelves and line it with the same materials that they are using in the Lipo bags. After considering the material that the bags are made of I can better determine what the box's frame material can be. I may just buy a lipobag and dissect it to make the box, but am hoping another human may have pertinent information available.
Thanks in advance for any input.

Suggest not DIYing one for obvious reasons - most commercial products have had extensive testing. If a bag is not the 'wisest choice', then they wouldn't make them as a bag. It isn't just the material but how it's put together. That said if you just google "DIY lipo bag" or "Homemade lipo sack" or some combination you'll find some. The material is described in various ways - highly fire proof, space age material, but one source has this:

"The Lipo Charging and Storage Safe Bag is made from Kevlar with an aluminum coating, the same material as fire fighter’s clothes! This combination of Kevlar and Aluminum provides superior fireproof protection." Another suggested a welding glove with a clip

With the drop in prices on them and the amount of engineering in them would not make your own. Don't skimp on safety. A good analogy would be the turn out gear for a fireman. Would you take a chance on DIY gear. I also seem to remember that they are not just Kevlar but nomex.
