Product information „JUTEC fire containment set 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 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 for people and the environment. Traditional fire extinguishers have great difficulty dealing with fires involving these energy sources.
If you are interested, please contact us for an individual quote. By email (info@lion-care.com), via the contact form or by telephone (07151 - 2564811). Depending on the stress on the fabric caused by the vehicle accident, the Jutec fire protection blanket can also be used several times. Please contact us if you have any questions.
Protection concept for e-mobility
The JUTEC fire protection blanket is used to secure your batteries in the event of a fire and protects against the spread of flames, overheating and damage.
Properties of the JUTEC fire protection blanket
The flexible blanket has a grammage of approx. 625 g/m² and a thickness of approx. 0.7 mm. Four handle loops (2 red, 2 blue) and corner reinforcements made of PTFE fabric are sewn on. The fire blanket measures approx. 3,000 x 4,000 mm and is therefore suitable for small vehicles, driverless transport systems, partial coverage, etc. It also maintains constant temperatures of up to 1,150 °C and briefly up to 1,300 °C. Its melting point is 1,600 °C.
The base material of the automotive fire blanket is made of special fabric with high-temperature treatment on both sides (RH/Q 94%). In addition, a mineral vermiculite coating is applied to both sides, which binds hydrofluoric acid (HF) proportionally. Furthermore, there is no fibre breakage under temperature change stress, a so-called thermal shock as occurs with glass fibre, for example. Furthermore, the silicate fabric with a 96% SiO2 content allows cooling from above, which is extremely useful for firefighting operations.
Including protective case
The protective case comes in red (similar to RAL 2002) and is equipped with 2 wheels and 2 handles, as well as a telescopic handle. The protective case measures 60 x 40 x 33 cm, weighs approx. 5.5 kg and has a volume of 50 litres.
Protection and prevention
The JUTEC fire blanket prevents the release of flames, which isolates the fires and thus enables a reduction in the oxygen content at the scene of the fire, which supports the extinguishing work.
Use of the fire blanket in the event of a fire
If you hear a distinct hissing noise or even see smoke coming from the battery area, place the fire blanket over the vehicle. As the fire in the electric battery spreads from cell to cell in a chain reaction, burning through all the cells is a lengthy process and can vary depending on the manufacturer and type. Leave the blanket on the vehicle or battery until the chain reaction has ended and always alert the fire brigade.
Blanket to be removed only 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 vehicle until the emergency services arrive. The blanket should only be removed by emergency services.
Safe use thanks to fabric classified according to European fire safety testing and additional safety thanks to an electrostatic report
The material of the fire blanket has excellent chemical resistance. In addition, European fire safety testing of the fabric was carried out in accordance with DIN EN 13501-1 with the result "Class A1, non-combustible". There is also an EC safety data sheet in accordance with 91/115/EEC and an electrostatic report in accordance with DIN 54345-1.
JUTEC is certified according to EN ISO 9001:2015 and manufactures in Europe, assembled by JUTEC "Made in Germany".

Efficient firefighting of battery fires – increasingly important in the future
Lithium-ion batteries will become indispensable in all industrial and, increasingly, private applications in the coming years
.
However, if used improperly, the batteries can pose a potential hazard that should not be underestimated during manufacture, storage and transport. By purchasing this fire blanket/fire protection blanket, you are protecting yourself from the outset against major financial losses that can be caused by battery fires, for example.

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 capacity 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.
