Fire blankets for safety at home

The VLITEX fire blanket is suitable as an immediate measure in case of fire in the home. It even keeps a particularly hot battery fire safely under wraps. 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, there is less smoke and the heat remains under the ceiling.

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 do sensible precautions look like?

If a battery catches fire, action must be taken quickly. Too much time passes until the fire department arrives. Those who can act themselves – necessarily under the utmost protection of their own health – can gain time.

Store batteries in battery safety boxes

Whether at home or on the road – in the VLITEX battery safety boxes the batteries of drones, tools or similar are well stored. Multiple layers of fabric and thick partitions protect for damage and delay the spread of fire in case of fire.

Use special e-bike battery bags

The powerhouses that spend hours propelling our bikes up hills are capable of devastating explosions in the event of fire. The battery bag temporarily retains heat and flames, facilitating further action.

Cover bicycles with permanently installed batteries

What to do if the battery can not be removed and stored separately? For this purpose, there is the VLITEX fire protection blanket, which is simply placed over the wheel and retains heat, smoke and flames in case of fire.

Fire blankets for workshop & co.

Practical, but not without danger – battery-powered tools that are now an indispensable part of any household. With a small-format fire containment ceiling, rapid response is possible in the – admittedly rare – event of a fire. After all, they are made of the same material that the fire department uses to fight battery fires. Why not take advantage of this?
