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.

Maximum safety in the event of a fire
The Genius fire blanket is used to protect your batteries in the event of a fire and prevents flames from spreading, overheating and damage. In combination with the integrated PyroBubbles, this ceiling offers an innovative system.
Features of the Genius fire blanket
The flexible blanket consists of a fire-resistant fabric in which PyroBubbles are incorporated. Two grip loops are sewn on for easy handling. The Velcro fastener allows the blanket to be folded up compactly and stowed away. The fire blanket measures approx. 1,400 x 1,000 mm and is therefore suitable for most fires. It can also withstand constant temperatures of over 1,000 °C without any problems.
Protection and prevention
The Genius fire protection ceiling keeps flames under the ceiling. The fire is isolated under the ceiling and the reduction in the oxygen supply reduces the intensity of the fire.
Convincing advantages summarized compactly
The blanket offers the user maximum safety when handling lithium-ion batteries and offers the following advantages:
Extremely flame-retardant
The blanket can be exposed to fire for long periods of time and will not ignite.
Very low weight and compact dimensions incl. Velcro fastener
Thanks to its 6 kg weight and dimensions of 1400 x 1000 mm, the blanket can easily be used by one person. The Velcro fastener ensures easy handling and transportation.
Explosion protection
The PyroBubbles melt around the source of the fire and ensure that explosions are held back or do not occur in the first place.
Dust and waterproof
The blanket does not collect dust and can be exposed to moisture without any problems.
Can be used in closed rooms and is free of hazardous substances
As the ceiling itself does not emit dust, it can also be used in closed rooms. None of the materials used contain hazardous substances.
Suitable for fires of all kinds
In addition to fires involving lithium-ion batteries, the fire blanket is also suitable for almost all other fires.
High tear resistance and quick deployment
The blanket can be opened quickly using the Velcro fastener. Thanks to its high tear resistance, no special precautions need to be taken.
Use of the fire blanket in case of fire
If a clear hissing noise can be heard or even smoke can be seen at a battery, place the fire blanket over the source of the fire. The blanket can also be used as a preventative measure. As the fire in the battery jumps from cell to cell in a chain reaction, the burning of all cells is a lengthy process and can vary depending on the manufacturer and type. Leave the blanket on the battery until the chain reaction has ended and always alert the fire department. Please note that you should wear personal protective equipment whenever possible during active fire operations to protect yourself from fire gases.
Blanket should only be removed by emergency services
The fire blanket is intended to prevent the flames from spreading to the surrounding area. Always leave the fire blanket on the battery until the emergency services arrive. The blanket should only be removed by the emergency services.
Extinguishing effect of PyroBubbles®
PyroBubbles® are temperature-resistant up to a temperature of approx. 1050°C. In the event of a fire, the granules melt and form a closed and thermally insulating layer around the source of the fire, removing the oxygen. Combustible reaction gases are reduced thanks to the pores in the spheres. The high specific heat capacity absorbs heat energy and the temperature is reduced thanks to the cooling effect. Furthermore, combustible material is shielded by the low thermal conductivity. PyroBubbles® are also suitable for extinguishing metal fires and liquid fires.

About the term "fire blanket"
At EU level, there is a standard DIN EN 1869:201910 for the term extinguishing blanket / fire blanket, but this refers to the standard fire test object "deep-frying equipment with a filling quantity of max. 3 liters of cooking oil/fat", so that an extinguishing blanket / fire blanket according to the above standard is intended for extinguishing cooking oil and cooking fat fires. Please note that the products offered here do not comply with the DIN EN 1869:201910 standard and are not intended / approved for extinguishing cooking oil and cooking fat fires. The intended use of the extinguishing blanket / fire blanket presented here is to contain / fight Li-ion battery fires.

Unfortunately not. Fires caused by lithium-ion batteries are chemical fires that are independent of oxygen. They continue to burn even if they are deprived of oxygen or if you try to extinguish them with water as you would conventionally.
Nevertheless, the fire brigade uses water to cool the burning battery. Even after hours, a battery can ignite again.
The only thing that helps here is a controlled burn-off and fire containment to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding area due to high temperatures or escaping flames.
The name “fire blanket” is common, but misleading. These special, high-temperature-resistant blankets do not extinguish battery fires. What works on the grill does not work on lithium batteries.
With fire blankets, the name says it all: they contain the fire and thus also the damage, giving you time to alert the local fire brigade, who will decide on further fire-fighting measures.

The German DIN SPEC 91489 provides clarity for stakeholders in various industries.
DIN SPEC 91489 contains several requirements for fire-retardant ceilings, the most important of which are listed below:
- General requirements
Properties such as loops, size of the blanket, storage, etc. are mentioned. - Thermal resistance
The DIN SPEC requires a minimum ISO13591-1 classification B. However, the Fire Isolator fire blankets have a higher (the highest) classification: A1. - Mechanical stability
Resistance to cutting, stability of loops, etc. - Electrostatic charge
- Protection against electric shock
- Chemical resistance
- Markings
- Manufacturer information
- Minimum content of the test report
- Training for use by first responders
DIN SPEC 91489 requires that fire blankets can be used quickly and easily by two trained responders wearing personal protective equipment and breathing apparatus.
In the event of a battery fire, such a blanket provides valuable time to alert the fire department and prevent the flames from spreading. This applies to all possible uses, be it a cell phone, a laptop, an e-scooter, a factory robot or an electric car.
This question will be answered by the local fire department, because they are always to be alerted and they initiate further fire-fighting measures.
It is highly dangerous to let a burning electric car burn out under such a blanket and wait until it is all over. A battery fire could last for days and reignite repeatedly. Among other things, the fire produces toxic gases that must be contained as quickly as possible.
The right size of fire blanket depends largely on the size of the burning object and its size. An e-scooter requires a smaller blanket than an e-car or a forklift.
Roughly measure how large the blanket needs to be so that it still lies flat on the ground around the object, with a 1-2m overhang. Don't forget to take the height into account (e.g. SUV). This is the only way to ensure that toxic gases remain under the blanket for the most part and that flames have no chance of igniting the area around the source of the fire.
Here are some examples of common sizes:
Automobiles:
Larger vehicles such as station wagons, SUVs, sedans, forklifts: The fire blanket should be at least 6x8 meters (taking into account the height of the vehicle).
Medium-sized vehicles: The fire blanket should be at least 5x6m in size.
Smaller electric vehicles, e.g. warehouse robots: The fire blanket should be at least 3x4m in size.
Appliances with batteries, such as cordless screwdrivers, garden tools: The fire blanket should be at least 1.5x1.5m in size.
Cell phones and laptops: The fire blanket should be at least 1.5x1.5m in size.
There are also differences in the materials used. The fire blankets differ, for example, in their composition, material thickness and temperature resistance. This is crucial, for example, if the blankets are to be used directly on batteries, not installed, as in vehicles.
When making your purchase, don't forget the weight of the blankets. A large blanket can quickly weigh 25-45 kg. Here, for example, there is the option of storing it in a trolley.
In the event of a fire and the active use of the blanket, no. We strongly advise against it. Firstly, the extreme temperatures can cause damage to the material that cannot be reliably assessed by laypersons. Secondly, fires produce toxic gases that are harmful to health and can adhere to the material.
The ceiling can be used repeatedly for protection if there is no damage.
Here, too, the size and the fire behavior of the object are crucial. An e-bike battery reaches different temperatures than the fire of an electric car.
When an electric vehicle catches fire, temperatures of up to 1,000°C can be reached – and even peaks of 1,200°C for a short time.
Due to the different fire behavior, it is not possible to make an accurate statement about the temperatures that will arise and the duration of the fire.
