Description
Fire Blanket Suitable for EV Lithium Battery Packs
The Lithium Batteries Fire Blanket by Prosol is manufactured from specialised quartz material with a silicon polymer coating. This combination of high tech fabric engineering provides continuous high-temperature resistance.
This fire blanket is smaller than the EV car fire blankets that we also sell, and is specially designed for covering vehicle Lithium Battery Packs in the event of a fire.
Fires in electric or hybrid vehicles batteries are often caused by damage to the battery cells or manufacturing faults resulting in Thermal Runaway. This is when a cell short circuits, starting a fire that spreads from cell to cell.
When using lithium-ion batteries, it is important to be aware of the potential risks. The electrolyte used in these batteries typically contains hydrocarbon solvents which can ignite and fuel fires. Without proper monitoring, the resulting high temperatures can exceed 1,000°C+.
When deploying a ‘Fire Cloak’ Lithium Batteries Fire Blanket, the potential for combustion is minimized by depriving the fire of oxygen. Additionally, because the fire is controlled, temperatures will drop rapidly, which in turn prevents damage to surrounding vehicles and property.
This fire blanket recently achieved the very highest certified standard relating to the fire-retardant properties of a product, read about this fantastic achievement.
