DIN SPEC 91489 Fire limitation blankets for use with electric vehicles

VLITEX PREMIUM reusable fire blankets are available in various sizes. The principle is the same for all of them: In the case of a so-called conventional fire, the fire is smothered immediately after the VLITEX fire blanket has been placed on it.

In the case of a lithium-ion battery fire, the battery burns in a controlled manner under the fire blanket, without endangering the surrounding objects and with a significantly lower ambient temperature and smoke development.

The first DIN SPEC 91489 standard now sets out clear requirements for fire limitation blankets for electric vehicles. VLITEX PREMIUM blankets are among the first to meet these stringent criteria, guaranteeing an effective solution in the event of a lithium-ion battery fire.

VLITEX takes a new approach. Certified for use up to a peak temperature of 1,300°C, the fire blankets are flame retardant. They immediately reduce smoke formation and retain flames and heat. Toxic fumes remain under the blanket.
