Product information „Fingerhuth fire containment blanket / fire blanket S-TYPE FFZ 7 x 7 m“

1. Brief overview

The Fingerhuth S-TYPE fire containment blanket (hereinafter also referred to synonymously as a fire extinguishing blanket or fire protection blanket) is designed for covering damaged or burning devices with lithium-ion batteries. Its purpose is to isolate flames under the blanket as effectively as possible, reduce the spread of smoke and toxic gases, lower the temperature, and limit explosions under the blanket.

Fires involving lithium-ion batteries present a particular challenge, as conventional fire extinguishers often reach their limits here. The S-TYPE fire containment blanket offers a simple, quickly deployable way to contain a source of fire and thus protect the surroundings.

Please note: In general usage, the term “fire blanket” is often used. Technically, this is a fire containment or fire protection blanket – the fire is primarily contained, not actively extinguished.

2. Areas of application & operating conditions

  • Fire containment and enclosure of fires or sources of fire involving lithium-ion batteries

  • Suitable, among other things, for:

    • Large electric vehicles and electric industrial trucks

    • Areas of use: e.g. auto repair shops, garages, charging stations, and warehouse logistics
  • Use as a heat shield and for the controlled containment of battery fires:

    • Containment of flames

    • Reduction of smoke and gas emissions

    • Limitation of the ambient temperature

3. Technical data

3.1 Material & structure 

  • Fabric: silicate fabric 
  • Coating: vermiculite coating
  • Non-combustible
  • High-frequency permeable so as not to interfere with emergency signals 

3.2 Temperature resistance 

  • Short-term temperature resistance: up to 1,600 °C
  • Long-term temperature resistance: 1,200 °C 

4. Approvals & safety features 

  • Compliant with DIN SPEC 91489 (fire containment blankets for lithium-ion batteries)
  • Non-combustible according to DIN EN 13501 (A2)
  • High electrical resistance (DIN 54345-1) 

5. Notes on use & operation

Basic principle of use:

  • The blanket is spread out using the handles and carefully placed over the burning or endangered object
  • Depending on the fire load, the fire is generally smothered or significantly contained within a short time
  • To support sufficient cooling (below approx. 100 °C), the blanket should remain on the object for as long as possible

Important notes:

  • After removing the blanket, check that no re-ignition occurs – even individual battery cells may react again after a delay
  • If possible, always use personal protective equipment (PPE)
  • In the event of fires, the fire department should always be called

Storage / safekeeping:

  • Store the blanket in the trolley
  • Store in a dry place; do not place any loads directly on the blanket 

6. Conclusion

The S-TYPE fire containment blanket is designed for the enclosure and containment of fires related to lithium-ion batteries. Thanks to its heat-resistant silicate fabric with vermiculite coating, tested temperature resistance, and electrical insulating effect, it supports controlled burn-off behavior and the reduction of smoke and gas release.
