VLITEX fire blanket / fire blanket standard 1.5 x 1.5 m, incl. 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 way to seal off the source of a fire

Properties, features and application of the VLITEX STANDARD fire blanket

The fire blanket / fire protection blanket measures 1500 x 1500 mm and weighs 1.2 kg. It is suitable, for example, for cordless screwdrivers, laptops, handheld vacuum cleaners, etc. The universally applicable VLITEX fire protection blanket smothers or contains a wide variety of fires. The spread of fire to surrounding objects, heat and smoke development as well as the escape of chemicals is prevented after just a few seconds. Thanks to an innovative folding mechanism, the fire blanket / fire blanket unfolds in just a few seconds as if by itself and only needs to be placed over the object. The special polymer coating prevents the penetration of dirt, toxic substances and oxygen.

High tear and cut resistance and non-combustibility thanks to high-quality materials

The fire blanket is highly tear-resistant thanks to the glass fiber fabric with a polymer coating on both sides and has been subjected to numerous tests. The cut protection is certified in accordance with ISO 13997. The fire behavior corresponds to DIN EN 13501 (A2).

High certification of temperature resistance

The information regarding temperature resistance has been certified by the KIWA Institute.

Heat resistance tests by the STFI

The Saxon Textile Research Center has also carried out tests on heat resistance, which confirm the information provided.

Low electrical conductivity

The low electrical conductivity has been certified in accordance with DIN 54345-1. This offers the user maximum safety on electric vehicles.

Tested in the ACTS laboratory

In order to test the suitability of the 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, so that controlled burning out is possible and flooding of the modules is not necessary. 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

Application of the fire blanket / extinguishing blanket

The blanket is gripped by the red handles and the fire is smothered over the object in a few minutes, depending on the fire load. To ensure cooling below 100 °C, the fire blanket should be left on the object for as long as possible. After removing the fire blanket / fire blanket, make sure that the fire does not reignite. Even after the fire has supposedly stopped, individual cells can re-ignite or react.

Please contact us if you have any questions.

If possible, always wear personal protective equipment during use. In the event of a fire, the fire department should of course always be called for assistance. 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 for action.

Also for preventive use and protection

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

Bag with wall bracket

The blanket comes in a nylon bag with a practical wall bracket, so it is always at hand and quickly ready for use.

Fire blankets for e-bikes and other lithium-ion batteries

Fires involving e-bikes and e-bike batteries are a particular focus of applications. These have powerful lithium-ion batteries, which pose a great danger to people and the environment in the event of a fire.

VLITEX - expert in the field of technical textiles

VLITEX has been working in the technical textiles market for over 20 years. The development of innovative products made of technical glass led to the creation of VLITEX fire blankets. A special glass fiber fabric prevents the supply of oxygen. As a result, the fire is 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.
