Product information „VLITEX fire blanket / fire blanket small“
1. Brief overview
The VLITEX PREMIUM fire blanket (hereinafter also referred to synonymously as fire blanket or fire protection blanket) is designed to cover damaged or burning (electric) vehicles and devices with lithium-ion batteries. It is used to isolate flames under the blanket in the best possible way, reduce the spread of smoke and toxic gases, lower the temperature and limit explosions under the blanket.
Fires involving lithium-ion batteries pose a particular challenge, as conventional fire extinguishers often reach their limits here. The PREMIUM fire containment blanket offers a simple, quickly deployable option for containing a fire source and thus protecting the surrounding area.
Please note: The term "fire blanket" is often used in common parlance. In technical terms, this is a fire containment or fire protection blanket - the fire is primarily contained, not actively extinguished.
2. Areas of application & conditions of use
- Fire containment and enclosure of fires or sources of fire with lithium-ion batteries
- Suitable for e.g:
- (E-)vehicles such as e-bikes and e-scooters
- Devices such as laptops, tools, cordless screwdrivers and other battery-powered devices
-
Use as a heat shield and for controlled containment of battery fires:
- Containment of flames
- Reduction of smoke and gas emissions
- Limits the temperature in the surrounding area
-
Suitable for preventive use, e.g. for covering functional but endangered batteries during storage to prevent the spread of fire.
Note on the standard situation ("fire blanket"):
The European standard DIN EN 1869:2019-10 refers to fire blankets for grease and cooking oil fires (deep-frying fats up to 3 l). The PREMIUM fire blanket offered here is not certified according to this standard and is not intended for cooking oil and cooking fat fires. The intended use is the containment or limitation of Li-ion battery fires.

4. Approvals & safety features
- Conforms to DIN SPEC 91489 (fire protection blankets for lithium-ion batteries)
- Non-combustible in accordance with DIN EN 13501 (A2)
- Proven cut protection in accordance with ISO 13997
- High electrical resistance (DIN 54345-1)
- High explosion protection / burst resistance (BS EN ISO 13938-2, punch penetration force according to DIN EN ISO 12236)
- Several independent laboratory and practical tests, including
- Saxon Textile Research Institute (STFI)
- KIWA
- Magna Steyr (battery module fire tests)
The ceiling was also tested in tests (including in a vehicle safety laboratory) with regard to temperature shielding, smoke minimization and effect as a heat shield.
5. Notes on use & operation
Basic principle of use:
- The blanket is picked up by the handles and carefully pulled over the burning or endangered object.
- Depending on the fire load, the fire is usually smothered or significantly contained within a short time.
- In order 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 there is no re-ignition - even individual battery cells can react again with a time delay.
- If possible, always use personal protective equipment (PPE).
- The fire department should always be called in the event of a fire.
- By using the blanket, ambient temperatures can be reduced, smoke and gases limited and the fire department's scope for action increased.
Multiple use:
- The fire protection blanket can be used several times.
- After a fire, further use depends on the fire load and the condition of the blanket - damaged blankets must not be used again.
Storage/storage:
- Store blankets in the bag provided (lying flat or hanging on the wall).
- Store in a dry place; do not place any loads directly on the ceiling.
6. Conclusion
The PREMIUM fire blanket is designed to contain and limit fires in connection with lithium-ion batteries. Thanks to its heat-resistant glass fiber fabric with polymer coating, tested temperature resistance and electrical insulation effect, it supports controlled burning behavior and the reduction of smoke and gas release.
In combination with proper application and the involvement of the fire department, the blanket can help to limit damage to the surroundings and infrastructure and provide the emergency services with additional options for action.
