This applies to all VLITEX fire protection blankets

Fire protection and firefighting rethought – because modern technologies also require modern methods. Safety – for you, for us and for the environment. Fire protection blankets made of silicone-coated fiberglass fabric can even be used to fight battery fires. We will be happy to convince you of this.

Countering battery fires with fire protection blankets – comparative test

löschdecke vergleichstest stfi vlitex

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. The term ‘fire protection blanket’ has become established in the past because it corresponds more closely to the way it works.

But do the products live up to the manufacturers’ full-bodied promises?

We asked the STFI, the Saxon Textile Research Institute, to independently investigate whether the properties of the fire protection blankets correspond to the specifications.

Vlitex Features Loeschdecke ueberlegen
Fire blanket is simply placed over the fire object

Easy handling - two people are enough to spread out the blanket and lay it over the vehicle.

Vlitex Löschdecke Features Brand unter Kontrolle
Fire is kept under control

Conventional fires suffocate due to the lack of oxygen. Battery fires can burn under the blanket in a controlled manner. The environment is protected.

Vlitex Löschdecke Features Rauchentwicklung sofort reduziert
Immediately significantly reduced smoke development

Less smoke also means fewer toxins entering the environment

Vlitex Löschdecke Features Temperatur abgeschirmt
Protects the environment from heat

After a short time, we measure approx. 120 °C on the ceiling surface and just 40 °C in the immediate vicinity.

Vlitex Löschdecke Features hält herumfliegende Teile zurueck
Keeps flying parts back

Exploding battery cells in particular pose a danger to the environment.

Vlitex Features Loeschdecke keine Kontaminierung der Umwelt
Comes without contamination of 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.

  • KIWA – Germany / Latvia
  • Magna Steyr ACTS – Germany
  • Latvijas Standarts LVS 1071 – Latvia

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 fire protection blanket is the only blanket certified for its suitability for containing battery fires (as of March 2024).
Internationally renowned institutes have been able to convince themselves that the VLITEX PREMIUM fire protection blanket can withstand a battery fire. Yes, we are very proud of that!

Our mission: fire protection. Environmentally friendly.

Who we are

We have specialized in technical textiles for over 25 years. We develop and distribute innovative products made of fiberglass. With VLITEX fire protection blankets, we are helping to make the work of fire departments and firefighters more environmentally friendly.

What we offer

The VLITEX STANDARD and PREMIUM fire protection blankets consist of a glass fiber 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 do not require an 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 fire protection blankets are therefore an environmentally friendly and resource-saving alternative for firefighting.
