Product information „Genius fire containment blanket BSD-1P 1, 4x1 m, incl. PyroBubbles“
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 primarily used colloquially for this type of protective blanket. Strictly speaking, firefighting here is achieved by limiting/containing the fire rather than actively extinguishing it. Fires involving lithium-ion batteries continue to pose a major challenge to people and the environment. Traditional fire extinguishers have great difficulty dealing with fires involving these energy sources.

Maximum safety in the event of fire
The Genius fire protection blanket is designed to protect your batteries in the event of fire and prevents the spread of flames, overheating and damage. In combination with the integrated PyroBubbles
,
this blanket offers an innovative system.
Features of the Genius fire blanket
The flexible blanket is made of a fire-resistant fabric with integrated PyroBubbles. Two handle loops are sewn on for easy handling. The Velcro fastener allows the blanket to be folded up compactly and stored away. The fire blanket measures approximately 1,400 x 1,000 mm, making it suitable for most fires. It can also withstand constant temperatures of over 1,000 °C without any problems.
Protection and prevention
The Genius fire blanket keeps flames under the blanket. The fire is isolated under the blanket and the reduction in oxygen supply reduces the intensity of the fire.
Convincing advantages summarised compactly
The blanket offers users maximum safety when handling lithium-ion batteries and offers the following advantages :
Extremely flame-resistant
The blanket can be exposed to fire for long periods of time without igniting.
Very low weight and compact dimensions, including Velcro fastener
Thanks to its weight of 6 kg and dimensions of 1400 x 1000 mm
,
the blanket can be easily used by one person. The Velcro fastener ensures easy handling and transport.
Explosion protection
The PyroBubbles melt around the source of the fire and ensure that explosions are contained or do not occur in the first place.
Dustproof and waterproof
The blanket does not attract dust and can also be exposed to moisture without any problems.
Can be used in enclosed spaces and is free of hazardous substances
As the blanket itself does not release any dust, it can also be used in enclosed spaces. None of the materials used contain hazardous substances.
Suitable for all types of fires
In addition to lithium-ion battery fires, the fire blanket is also suitable for almost all other types of fires.
High tear resistance and quick readiness for use
The blanket can be opened quickly with 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 you hear a distinct hissing noise or even see smoke coming from a battery, place the fire blanket over the source of the fire. The blanket can also be used preventively. Since a chain reaction causes the fire in the battery to spread from cell to cell, burning 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 brigade. Please note that, whenever possible, you should wear personal protective equipment when actively fighting fires to protect yourself from fire gases.
Blanket should only be removed by emergency services
The fire blanket is designed 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 emergency services.
Extinguishing effect of PyroBubbles ®
PyroBubbles ® are temperature-resistant up to approx. 1050°C. In the event of a fire, the granulate melts and forms a closed, thermally insulating layer around the source of the fire, thereby depriving it of oxygen. Combustible reaction gases are reduced thanks to the pores in the spheres. The high specific heat capacity absorbs thermal 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 Genius Group

About the
term "fire blanket"
At EU level, there is a standard DIN EN 1869:2019-10 for the term fire blanket / fire protection blanket, but this refers to the standard fire test object "deep-frying equipment with a maximum filling quantity of 3 litres of cooking oil/fat", so that a fire blanket / fire blanket is intended for extinguishing cooking oil and cooking fat fires. Please note that the products offered here do not comply with the DIN EN 1869:2019-10 standard and are not intended/approved for extinguishing cooking oil and cooking fat fires. The intended use of the fire blanket/fire protection blanket presented here is to contain/combat Li-ion battery fires.

FAQ
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.
