Countering battery fires with fire protection 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. 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.

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 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.
