VLITEX fire blanket / SUPERIOR PRO fire blanket 3 x 4 m

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 ULTIMATE fire blanket

The fire blanket / fire protection blanket measures 3000 x 4000 mm and weighs 7.2 kg. This high-quality blanket is especially suitable for covering closed battery modules. The universally applicable VLITEX fire blanket smothers or contains a wide variety of fires. The spread of fire to surrounding objects, the development of heat and smoke and the escape of chemicals are prevented in just a few seconds. Thanks to an innovative folding mechanism, the fire blanket unfolds in just a few seconds as if by itself and only needs to be placed over the object. The main application is flame suppression, retention of smoke and toxic gases and temperature control outside the blanket.

High-quality composition of the fire blanket

The basis of the fire blanket is silicon quartz (>94 % silica) with a vermiculite coating.

Chemical properties

Silica fiber fabric has a high proportion of pure silicon dioxide. It has an even higher temperature resistance than glass fiber fabric and retains its strength and flexibility even at extremely high temperatures. It is also chemically inert, which means that it does not react with most chemicals.

Certified heat resistance

The heat resistance data has been confirmed by the Saxon Textile Research Institute STFI.

Low electrical conductivity

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

Application of the fire blanket / extinguishing blanket

The blanket is gripped by the black handles and placed over the object. Depending on the fire load, the fire is smothered within a few minutes. In order to ensure cooling below 100 °C, the fire blanket should remain 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. Due to its size, we recommend using it with two people.

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.

Red bag, metal box or trolley as accessories

The "VLITEX Red Bag 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 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.

The trolley is tested in accordance with IP67, RohS and REACH certificates, confirming its quality and environmental friendliness.

Extinguishing 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. 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.
