Fire Cloak EV Car Fire Blanket

The most common form of fire in electric or hybrid vehicles is when the high-energy battery is damaged, or a manufacturing fault causes the battery to go into “Thermal Runaway”. This is when a cell short circuits and the heat generated starts a fire, this, in turn, creates a “domino effect” and the fire spreads from cell to cell.

By deploying an EV Car Fire Blanket the combustion potential can be minimized by depriving the fire of oxygen.

And because the fire is controlled, temperatures drop rapidly which prevents damage to surrounding vehicles and property.

• Minimizes other property damage
• Helps to contain and control fires where traditional fire extinguishers cannot be used
• Enhances electric vehicle safety
• Can be used for Hybrids, fully electric vehicles, and internal combustion engines 
• Waterproof green bag

Class 0 Fire Safety Rated and Certifications

• British Standard BS476: Part 6:1989+A1:2009 - BS476: Part 7:1997 = Class 0 fire resistance rating, this is a close equivalent to UL standard Class A.
• European ISO EN BS 3501-1:2018 - Reaction to fire classification: A1
• ASTM D6143 Vertical Flame Resistance – Best possible result achieved against this standard. (US test)
• Fire Cloak has achieved the highest fire resistance ratings against all the aforementioned standards.
• NFPA 701: Third party certified for NFPA 701 Standard methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films
• ASTM D 6413-22 Certified: Third party certified to ASTM D 6413-22 for Standard Test Method for Flame Resistant of Textiles.

Thermal runaway fires cannot be extinguished by conventional means.

In a lithium-ion battery, the electrolyte usually contains hydrocarbon solvents that fuel the fire. If unchecked extremely high temperatures of over 1832°F+ can be produced.

By deploying a ‘Fire Cloak’ Electric Vehicle Fire Blanket by Prosol UK the combustion potential is minimized by depriving the fire of oxygen. And because the fire is controlled, temperatures drop rapidly which prevents damage to surrounding vehicles and property.

‘Fire Cloak’ Electric Vehicle Fire Blankets are manufactured from specialized quartz material with a silicon polymer coating.

This combination of high-tech fabric engineering provides continuous temperature resistance up to 1832°F and spikes of 2912°F

How to Use a Fire Blanket in 6 Easy Steps

Step 1: Call 911

Step 2: Position the Fire Blanket in front of the vehicle

Step3: Make sure the Fire Blanket is unfolded and centered in front of the electric vehicle

Step 4. Take hold of the red straps and pull the Fire Blanket over the vehicle making sure to cover the whole vehicle

Step 5. Ensure it is tucked in at either side by pressing down on it with your feet

Step 6. Retreat to a safe distance and wait for the fire service

*Reaction to Fire: Based on information assimilated from the fabric manufacturer's technical database, definitive ISO testing is currently in progress.

**Material Fire Test: Based on information assimilated from the fabric manufacturer's technical database, definitive ISO testing is currently in progress.

***Fire Resistance Testing: Samples were submitted to Intertek® and furnace testing to 800°C was conducted. The material, whilst compromised, retained is structure and was deemed effective for the intended purpose.

NOTE: While EV fires can reach core temperatures exceeding 1,300°C, the surface temperature of the vehicle body will be much lower than this. Once deployed the EV Car Fire Blanket reduces temperature rapidly by depriving the fire of Oxygen. This allows the EV Car Fire Blanket to perform effectively within its fire resistance ratings.
