A fire blanket is made of fireproof materials that can withstand temperatures of several hundred to a thousand degrees Celsius. In the event of a fire, the blanket is placed over the affected appliance and serves as a barrier against escaping flames, gases and heat, which could otherwise spread uncontrollably and set other objects on fire.
The great advantage of a fire blanket over conventional fire extinguishing methods such as water or foam is that it has been specially developed for the special requirements of lithium-ion fires. As battery fires generate their own oxygen, they cannot be extinguished using conventional methods. The blanket ensures that the fire remains contained and gives those affected valuable time to take further safety measures.
