VLITEX SUPERIOR PRO fire protection blanket
This fire protection blanket was specially developed for closed battery module fires: it is made of particularly temperature-resistant silica fabric with a vermiculite coating. The VLITEX SUPERIOR PRO fire protection blanket is therefore suitable for car dealerships, workshops and industry that work with closed battery modules.
Description
Fire protection blankets for closed battery modules
Closed battery modules are at the heart of modern energy storage solutions and are used in numerous areas – from electric vehicles and home storage solutions to industrial energy storage systems.
The VLITEX SUPERIOR PRO fire protection blanket was developed to minimize the damage caused by a battery module fire: Thanks to the silica fabric used and the vermiculite coating, the blanket can withstand peak temperatures of up to 1,600 °C.
Product data
The SUPERIOR PRO fire protection blanket, made of fire-resistant silica fibers with a vermiculite coating, is placed over closed battery modules as a precautionary measure. In the event of ignition of the battery module, it creates effective insulation of the flames and thus prevents the fire from spreading. In just a few seconds, it offers a decisive safety factor.
Suitable for closed battery modules
Suitable for workshops, car dealerships and industry.
Weight: approx. 14 kg
Size: 3.00 m x 4.00 m
This applies to the VLITEX fire blanket SUPERIOR. The silica fiber reacts on contact with heat and contracts strongly. This is why we advise not to use the blanket several times.
Both silica and silicone-coated fiberglass are effective materials for fire-rated blankets, but there are some differences:
Material and properties
- Silicone-coated glass fiber fabric: Glass fiber fabric is a material consisting of extremely fine glass fibers. It is known for its resistance to high temperatures, its excellent tensile strength and its good insulating properties. The silicone coating improves the fire-retardant properties of the fabric, ensures an increased smothering effect and thermal insulation of the fire. It also contributes to increased resistance to weathering, UV radiation and chemical influences.
- Silica (silicon dioxide): Silica fiber fabric has a high proportion of pure silicon dioxide. It has an even higher temperature resistance than glass fiber fabric and retains its strength and flexibility even at extremely high temperatures. It is also chemically inert, which means that it does not react with most chemicals.
Temperature resistance
- The temperature resistance of silicone-coated glass fiber fabric depends on the type of glass fiber. PREMIUM from VLITEX can withstand temperatures of up to 1,000 °C, and even 1,300 °C for short periods.
- Silica fiber fabric withstands temperatures of up to 1,500 °C.
Costs
- Silica blankets are usually more expensive than blankets made of silicone-coated glass fiber fabric due to the higher cost of the pure silica fibers.
- While blankets made of special glass fiber fabric can be used several times depending on the fire load, the silica blanket is a purely disposable product because its fibers shrink when exposed to heat.
