The Fire Cloak Car Fire Blanket has been developed to contain electric, hybrid, petrol and diesel vehicle fires.
The most common form of fire in electric or hybrid vehicles is when the high energy battery is damaged,
or a manufacturing fault results in a short circuit. The battery can then go into ‘Thermal Runaway’, this is a
phenomenon where damaged cells heat up rapidly to such an extent that a fire starts. The fire then
compromises adjoining cells and a “domino effect” occurs spreading to the whole battery array.
Thermal Runaway fires cannot be extinguished by conventional means!
The electrolyte in a Lithium-Ion battery contains flammable hydrocarbons, added to which Lithium
is self-oxidising which fuels the fire. If left unchecked extremely high temperatures can result.
Utilising the Fire Cloak Car Fire Blanket minimises the combustion potential by depriving the fire of Oxygen.
This inhibits the fire and consequently temperatures drop rapidly, reducing potential damage to surrounding
vehicles and property.
The Fire Cloak Care Fire Blanket can be deployed easily by two people and is supplied in a convenient storage
holdall for protection and ease of transport. Wall mount and mobile storage cabinets are also available.
