VLITEX fire blanket / fire blanket Premium M 200x260 - for small electric vehicles & batteries incl. red nylon bag

Please note that the terms "fire blanket", "fire protection blanket" and "fire containment blanket" are used synonymously in the following, as the term "fire blanket" is used colloquially for this type of protective blanket. Strictly speaking, the fire is fought by limiting/containing the fire and not by actively extinguishing it.

Fires involving lithium-ion batteries continue to pose a major challenge for people and the environment. Traditional fire extinguishers have great difficulties with fires involving these energy sources.

This extinguishing blanket / fire blanket is the simplest, easiest and most effective method of isolating fires involving electric vehicles or combustion engines.

Tested in the ACTS laboratory

In order to test the suitability of VLITEX fire blankets in the event of a battery fire, a test was carried out using state-of-the-art measuring methods. The test was carried out in the laboratory of ACTS - Advanced Car Technology Systems GmbH, the competence center for vehicle safety within the Magna Steyr Group.

The extinguishing blanket / fire blanket met all expectations during the test. It is suitable as a heat shield and keeps the temperatures around the burning modules below 200 °C, allowing controlled burnout and eliminating the need to flood the modules. In addition, smoke and gases are trapped, whereby the fire blanket / fire blanket also acts as a smoke trap.

The complete test setup and procedure, as well as the observations and measurement results can be found on the manufacturer's website . This link will take you directly to the test.

The certificate can be provided on request.

Red bag or metal box as accessories

The "VLITEX Red Bag Premium 100 L" or the "VLITEX Metal Box" can be ordered on request. The carrying bag is virtually airtight and water-repellent, allowing the fire blanket / fire blanket to be carried comfortably on the back during use. The fire blanket can be safely stored in the metal box and is quickly and easily accessible in the event of an emergency. Both are suitable for fire blankets up to a size of 8x10 m.

Features, equipment and use of the reusable VLITEX Premium fire blanket M

The extinguishing blanket / fire blanket measures 2000 x 2600 mm and weighs 3 kg. This makes it suitable for larger battery packs. The universally applicable VLITEX fire blankets smother or contain a wide variety of fires. The spread of fire to surrounding objects is prevented after just a few seconds. Thanks to an innovative folding mechanism, the fire blanket / fire blanket unfolds by itself in just a few seconds. The penetration of dirt, toxic substances and oxygen is prevented by the special silicone layer. Depending on the respective fire load, the fire blanket can be used several times.

High tear resistance thanks to high-quality materials

The fire blanket is highly tear-resistant thanks to the glass fiber fabric with a silicone coating on both sides and has been subjected to numerous tests. The base material and the fastening straps are made of 560g/m² high-temperature glass fiber fabric with silicone coating on both sides, the connection is made of fire-repellent sewing thread. The maximum tensile strength of the fire blanket / fire protection blanket is 2200 N/5cm.

Using the fire blanket / fire blanket - always with 2 people

The blanket is gripped by the red handles and spread out. Depending on the fire load, the fire is smothered after a few minutes. The fire blanket / fire blanket should only be removed after 20 to 30 minutes in order to ensure cooling below 100 °C. After removing the fire blanket, make sure that the fire does not reignite. Even after the fire has supposedly stopped, individual cells can re-ignite or react. Leave the blanket over the vehicle for the removal of crashed or "burnt" electric cars. Depending on the fire load, the cover can be used several times.

If possible, always wear personal protective equipment when using the blanket. In the event of a vehicle fire, the fire department should of course always be called for assistance. You can find a battery fire extinguishing test with the VLITEX fire blanket here. The blanket prevents the fire from spreading to surrounding objects, ensures controlled burning with reduced ambient temperature and minimal smoke development and increases the fire department's scope of action.

Also for preventive use

The blanket is also suitable for safely covering endangered batteries during storage. This means that fires with major damage can be ruled out from the outset.

Wide range of applications

The VLITEX fire blanket can be used universally and is recommended for all areas of application where there is a need for easy-to-use fire blankets - especially for electric vehicles. For example, in garages, at vehicle manufacturers, car dealerships, fire departments, garages, parking garages, logistics halls, towing services, charging stations, etc.

Extinguishing blankets for electric cars, industrial trucks and other Li-ion batteries

Fires involving electric cars and industrial trucks are a particular focus of applications. Battery-powered ants and forklift trucks have long been used in intralogistics within companies, and the number of electric cars has also increased significantly in recent years. Both types of vehicle have powerful Li-ion batteries, which pose a great danger to people and the environment in the event of a fire. With its various designs, VLITEX offers a suitable model for every application.

Different sizes and application scenarios of the VLITEX Premium fire blankets M

In addition to the dimensions, the extinguishing blankets also differ in their applicability. Depending on the fire load, VLITEX Premium M fire blankets can be reused several times and have a temperature resistance of 1000 °C (up to 1300 °C for short periods). Below you will find an overview of the different versions of VLITEX Premium M fire blankets.

VLITEX - expert in the field of technical textiles

VLITEX has been working in the technical textiles market for over 20 years. The VLITEX fire blankets were created through the development of innovative products made of technical glass. A special glass fiber fabric prevents the supply of oxygen. The fire is thus smothered under the fire blanket or kept under control in the case of battery fires. In addition, both the ambient temperature and smoke development are considerably reduced. All VLITEX fire blankets are environmentally friendly, resource-saving, maintenance-free and resistant to temperature, weather and heat.

Efficient firefighting of battery fires - increasingly important in the future

Lithium-ion batteries will be indispensable in all industrial and increasingly also in private applications in the coming years. However, if used improperly, batteries can pose a potential hazard during production, storage and transportation that should not be underestimated. By purchasing this extinguishing blanket / fire blanket, you protect yourself from the outset against major financial damage that can be caused by battery fires, for example.
