Q: How long does it take to tie the top and bottom covers of the Car Service Set?

Tying up the Car Service Set takes approx. 10 minutes . The top cover has long straps, while the bottom cover is equipped with eyelets. The intuitive procedure makes deployment quick and uncomplicated.

Q: How many people are needed to place the Fire blanket over a burning object?

The Fire blanket in car format of 6 x 8 m weighs about 27 kg and can easily be carried to the site by one person in the VLITEX carrying bag . Two people are usually required to spread out and lay out the blanket. If space is limited, it can be helpful if one or two other people hold the end of the blanket to make it easier to spread out in confined spaces .

Q: How long does it take until the Fire blanket can be removed?

1. conventional fire An ordinary fire suffocates under the Fire blanket after a few minutes. To be on the safe side, however, the blanket should remain above the object for 20-30 minutes . Ideally, a thermal imaging camera should be used to ensure that the temperature under the blanket has dropped below 200 °C . Water can be used to speed up the cooling process. Cooling can be accelerated by using water . 2. e-car fires In the event of an e-car fire , the Fire blanket can prevent the fire from spreading. Flames , heat and smoke are contained under the blanket, but the oxygen interruption does not extinguish a battery fire . Make sure that the temperature has dropped sufficiently. Battery cells can still react after many hours and reignite the fire. 3. transportation and storage of electric cars When towing or storing an e-car that has been involved in an accident, Fire blanket provides protection for the surrounding area in case the battery starts to burn again. We recommend the E-AUTO Car Service Set for this purpose, which can be used to safely pack an e-car for several days.

Q: Can the Fire blanket withstand sharp edges?

The VLITEX fire blanket E-AUTO is extremely tear-resistant . With a tensile strength of up to 2,200 N / 5 cm , an ordinary car could theoretically be suspended from a 1 x 1 m piece of fabric without the material tearing. Nevertheless, damage can occur if the ceiling is not fitted or removed correctly. We therefore recommend practicing putting on and taking off the blanket. With the right momentum, the blanket glides over the fire object almost like on an air cushion and then sinks down. When removing the blanket, it should ideally be folded over first to ensure safe handling.

Q: What does the VLITEX fire blanket E-AUTO certification mean?

The VLITEX fire blanket E-AUTO has been tested by an independent, internationally recognized testing institute . This confirmed that the material used can withstand temperatures of over 1,000 °C .
