FLAMASTOP specializes in the design and manufacture in Europe of fire blankets for thermal and electric vehicles. Made of high performance non-combustible technical fibers, they are:
- Reusable ;
- Suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications;
- Easy to use (no training required) ;
- Designed to withstand high temperatures.
Designed to prevent the spread of a vehicle fire, they have undergone a series of tests to assess their effectiveness. In particular, we tested them in a real-life, outdoor situation, during a lithium battery fire on electric vehicles. The result is clear: our innovative textile fire blanket has proven its worth in preventing the spread of fire!
A full-scale test on multiple vehicle types
Our fire blanket has been repeatedly tested on electric vehicles of various sizes (city car, two-wheeler, scooter, small MPV). During these tests, which were filmed, it was proved to be :
- Quick and easy to use, it only needs to be taken out of its box and two persons, wearing gloves, unroll it and wrap it around a vehicle. It’s in place in just a few minutes.
- Effective in the event of a lithium battery fire, to prevent it spreading before the fire department can intervene. The fire department must be alerted as soon as the first fumes appear, and are the only ones authorized to remove the cover.
As soon as the cover is installed on a vehicle, smoke emissions are reduced. Smoke is released under the cover, preventing it from spreading into the air. Our tests also showed that its use facilitates the work of firefighters, since it prevents the vehicle from bursting into flames. After removing the cover, they can spray the vehicle with water and wait for the battery to burn out.
An effective blanket to insulate a burning vehicle
Manufactured with innovative textiles – which have been tested in official, accredited laboratories and meet the most stringent reaction-to-fire classification standards on the market – our fire blankets :
- Withstand high temperatures;
- Control any vehicle fire;
- Stop the fumes from a lithium battery that catches fire;
- Isolate the vehicle to prevent the spread of fire to the surrounding area and limit fire damage.
During our tests, we used our covers on various vehicles. Their format is adaptable to all sizes, which is an added advantage since any electric model can fall victim to a lithium battery flashover.
