Product information „VLITEX fire blanket / PREMIUM fire blanket 6 x 8 m with 2nd long handle“
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 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-scooters, cars and industrial trucks
- Areas of application: e.g. car workshops, garages, charging stations and warehouse logistics
-
-
Use as a heat shield and for controlled containment of battery fires:
-
Containment of flames
-
Reduction of smoke and gas emissions
-
Limiting the temperature in the surrounding area
-
-
Suitable for preventive use, e.g. for covering functional but endangered batteries during storage to prevent the possible 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.

-
The ceiling was also tested in tests (including in a vehicle safety laboratory) with regard to temperature shielding, smoke minimization and its effect as a heat shield.
5. Notes on use & operation
Basic principle of use:
- The blanket is spread out using the red handles and carefully placed over the burning or endangered object with 2 people
- Depending on the fire load, the fire is usually 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 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
Storage/storage:
- Store blanket in red bag, metal box or trolley
- Store in a dry place; do not place any loads directly on the blanket
6. Conclusion
The PREMIUM fire protection 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.
