Countering battery fires with extinguishing blankets – comparative test
In a market without standards or minimum requirements, orientation is difficult. Let’s take a look at the large-format fire blankets made of fibreglass fabric with silicone coating. Do the products deliver what the manufacturers promise?
We asked the STFI, the Saxon Textile Research Institute, to independently investigate the question of whether the properties of the fire blankets correspond to the specifications.

Easy handling - two people are enough to spread the blanket and put it over the vehicle.
Conventional fires suffocate due to the lack of oxygen. Battery fires can burn under the ceiling in a controlled manner. The environment is protected.
Less smoke also means fewer toxins entering the environment
After only a short time, we measure approx. 120 °C on the ceiling surface and just 40 °C in the immediate vicinity.
Exploding battery cells in particular pose a danger to the environment.
No contaminated extinguishing agents in the environment that would actually have to be treated, thus low cleaning effort and low follow-up costs.
Our fire blankets are certified.
In a market without standards or minimum requirements, orientation is difficult. Thus, many products do not deliver what they promise. This makes it all the more important for us to have the quality of our products checked again and again by independent tests.
The VLITEX Premium M fire blanket is the only blanket certified for its suitability to contain battery fires (as of August 2022). Internationally renowned institutes have been able to convince themselves that the VLITEX Premium M fire blanket can withstand a battery fire.
Yes, we are very proud of that!

Our mission: fire protection. Environmentally friendly.
Who we are
We have been specializing in technical textiles for over 20 years. We develop and distribute innovative products made of fiberglass. With VLITEX fire blankets, we contribute to making the work of fire departments and firefighters more environmentally friendly.
What we offer
VLITEX fire blankets are made of fiberglass fabric coated with silicone. They are a very environmentally friendly and resource-saving alternative in fire fighting and preventive fire protection. Conventional fires are extinguished with their help by cutting off the oxygen supply. Lithium-ion battery fires, which require no external oxygen supply, can be controlled under the blanket. Smoke and heat are significantly reduced and, in addition, no contaminated extinguishing agents are released into the environment. VLITEX extinguishing blankets are therefore an environmentally friendly and resource-saving alternative for fire fighting.
