Why You Should Use Safeprotex’s EV Fire Blanket
Fires caused by lithium battery thermal runaway in electric vehicles require specialized solutions. Traditional extinguishing agents are ineffective against EV fires, as they cannot stop the chemical reactions within the battery. Safeprotex’s EV fire blankets are the most reliable solution for minimizing damage and ensuring safety.
Key Benefits:
- Safety in Confined Spaces: Fires in areas like parking garages, road tunnels, charging stations, or gas stations can lead to catastrophic outcomes without proper containment. The EV fire blanket isolates flames and prevents the release of toxic fumes, reducing the risks in high-traffic or enclosed spaces.
- Long-Lasting Protection: Once deployed, the blanket provides at least 30 hours of containment, allowing emergency responders ample time to address the situation.
- Effective Fire Suppression: The EV blanket completely covers the burning vehicle, controlling both flames and smoke while preventing the spread of fire.
Safeprotex’S EV Blankets Are Designed For Use In A Variety Of Environments, Including:
Gas stations: Contain fires in high-risk refueling zones.
Road tunnels: Prevent the escalation of vehicle fires in enclosed spaces.
Parking garages: Isolate fires in electric vehicles to protect surrounding vehicles and infrastructure.
Passenger ferries: Minimize fire risks in transit and protect passengers and crew.
Car parks and charging stations: Suppress fires in densely packed areas, reducing the likelihood of secondary damage.
Versatility and Performance in Real-World Scenarios
Safeprotex’s blankets are tested under the most extreme conditions to ensure they meet the demands of EV fires. The advanced coatings—silicone, vermiculite, and graphite—are specifically chosen to enhance the blanket’s ability to:
- Contain intense heat from thermal runaway.
- Control the release of toxic fumes in electric vehicle EV fire scenarios.
- Prevent the spread of fire to nearby infrastructure and vehicles.
These features make the EV fire blanket essential for high-risk environments like passenger ferries, parking garages, and car parks.
