Fire blankets for safety in the home

The VLITEX fire blanket is suitable as an immediate measure in the event of a fire in the home. It even keeps a particularly hot battery fire safely under the blanket. The special glass fibers are coated with silicone and are suitable for use at higher temperatures. A conventional fire suffocates in a very short time. A battery fire is isolated, less smoke is produced and the heat stays under the blanket. Important: Battery fires release highly toxic gases. Therefore, be sure to call the fire department at 112 and stay away from the source of the fire.

What are sensible precautionary measures?

If a battery catches fire, action must be taken quickly. Too much time passes until the fire department arrives. If you can act on your own – while protecting your own health at all costs – you can gain time.

Store batteries in battery safety boxes

Whether at home or on the road – the VLITEX battery safety boxes are the perfect place to store batteries for drones, tools or similar devices. Several layers of fabric and thick partition walls protect against damage and delay the spread of fire in the event of a fire.

Use special e-bike battery bags

The power packs that propel our bikes up the hills for hours on end are capable of devastating explosions in the event of fire. The battery bag temporarily retains heat and flames, making further measures easier.

Cover bicycles with permanently installed batteries

What to do if the battery cannot be removed and stored separately? This is where the VLITEX fire blanket comes in, which is simply placed over the wheel and holds back heat, smoke and flames in the event of a fire.

Fire protection blankets for workshops & co.

After all, they are made of the same material that the fire department uses to fight battery fires. Why not take advantage of this?
