Vehicle fire extinguisher blanket
Apronor >
Electric or thermic car fires are very common nowadays, and have disastrous consequences for the environment, health, infrastructure and buildings in the surrounding area. It’s important to control these fires rapidly to avoid their spreading and the serious damage that they can cause. That’s why we’ve developed this fire blanket for electric, hybrid or thermal cars, made from high-performance technical textiles. Flexible, it is easy to deploy and covers a vehicle for :
- to suppress the fir
- to avoid the spreading of the fire
- to help extinguish it immediately, without water
It conforms to all current standards, and is characterised by its resistance to extreme temperatures, its big format and its simplicity of use. As our vehicle fire blanket is made in France with a non-toxic fabric, it is not harmful to the health of its users. It is easy to apply in the case of an outbreak of fire:
- facilitates the intervention of the fire brigade
- helps to make the site safer
What’s more, it requires no maintenance or care (unlike a fire extinguisher) and is suitable for use both indoors (in an underground car park, garage or workshop, for example) and outdoors (at a petrol station, on the motorway, etc.).
A reliable solution for fighting car fires
The standard version of this vehicle fire blanket measures 6 x 8 m, covering a surface area of 48m2, so it can be adapted to different formats. Other dimensions are possible, as it can be custom-made. It can be used on a wide range of models, whatever the brand, including electric or thermal cars, motorbikes, handling equipment and industrial fire extinguishers.
Weighing 25 kg, it requires the intervention of two people for its deployment, which is easy since it is very flexible. All you have to do is place it at the front or back of the car and unroll it over the vehicle body to cover it. Once installed, it must be left for at least 20 minutes to smother the fire by cutting off oxygen, and avoid the vehicle completely burning up. It must be removed by the fire brigade.
This protective equipment also reduces the release of toxic, opaque smoke and vapours, and their spread into the environment. It also allows firefighters to contain the fire without wasting time, as soon as they arrive on the scene.
A French-made technical fabric cover
To create this blanket for extinguishing fires on electric, hybrid or thermal vehicles, we chose a high-performance technical textile. Non-combustible and chemically resistant, it can withstand extreme temperatures. It is also a natural, non-toxic material. It is therefore perfectly suited to the manufacture of flame protection equipment.
Like all of our products, our car fire blanket is made in France, in our own factory. It also complies with all official regulations and standards for fire reaction. As such, it has been tested and approved as M0 by the Scientific and Technical Center for Building (CSTB), in accordance with the amended decree of 21 November 2002 relating to the reaction to fire of construction and fitting-out products. It therefore complies with:
- NF P 92-503 : 1995 ” Electric burner test applicable to flexible materials “
- NF EN ISO 1716 : 2018 “Reaction to fire test for products – Determination of the upper heating value (calorific value)”
