Medium-sized High Temperature Fire Blanket 3m x 2.6m (118.11in x 102.36in) - Single Use - 2600071

This medium-sized high temperature fire blanket measures 3m x 2.6m (118.11in x 102.36in), well beyond the size of a standard kitchen fire blanket. Conventional kitchen and household fire blankets are typically capped around 1.2m x 1.8m, sized for smothering a stovetop pan fire or wrapping a person whose clothing has caught fire. A blanket at this larger scale is built for a different job: containing and smothering a larger heat source, most notably the kind of intense, sustained burn produced by lithium-ion battery thermal runaway in e-bikes, mobility scooters, e-mopeds, and similar battery-powered devices, where a small kitchen-sized blanket simply isn't large enough to fully cover and seal off the hazard.

The blanket is single use, meaning it is designed and certified to be deployed once and then discarded, regardless of how undamaged it may look afterward. The intense heat of a fire event degrades the fabric at a microscopic level even where no visible scorching occurs, so a blanket that has been deployed should never be repacked and returned to service. The unit is CE marked and packaged in a quick-release pouch with reinforced pull tabs, allowing it to be deployed by pulling the tabs to release the folded blanket rather than fumbling with a zipper or snap closure under stress.

How a Fire Blanket of This Size Works

A fire blanket suppresses fire by removing oxygen from the fire triangle of fuel, heat, and oxygen. When draped completely over a burning object, the fire-resistant fabric forms a barrier that cuts off the surrounding air supply, starving the fire and allowing it to self-extinguish or at minimum preventing it from spreading to adjacent combustible material. At this larger size, the blanket is intended to fully envelop bulkier hazards, such as a burning e-bike or mobility scooter, rather than only the localized area a kitchen-sized blanket could cover.

It is important to set realistic expectations for lithium-ion battery fires specifically: thermal runaway in a damaged battery cell can sustain combustion through its own internally generated oxygen, meaning a fire blanket may not achieve complete extinguishment on its own. Its primary value in that scenario is containment — smothering visible flame where possible, suppressing the release of sparks and debris, and slowing the spread of fire and toxic smoke to nearby people, vehicles, or structures while emergency services are called and additional measures are taken.

Construction Features

• Fire-Resistant Technical Fabric: Constructed from heat-resistant material engineered to withstand sustained high-temperature exposure without melting through or becoming fuel for the fire itself.
• Reinforced Edge Lining: Multi-layered stitched edges and seams are a known failure point in lower-quality blankets under sustained heat, and reinforcement at these points helps the blanket maintain its barrier integrity for the duration of an event.
• Pull-Tab Quick Release: The packaging is designed for rapid deployment, with pull tabs that release the folded blanket in one motion so it can be unfurled and placed over the hazard with minimal delay.
• CE Marked: Independently assessed and marked for conformity with applicable European safety requirements.

The larger 3m x 2.6m format makes this blanket suited to hazards too large for a standard kitchen-sized fire blanket:

• E-Bikes and E-Mopeds: Sized to fully envelop a typical e-bike or e-moped involved in a battery fire or thermal runaway event, helping contain flame, sparks, and smoke until further response arrives.
• Mobility Scooters: A common application for blankets in this size range, given the prevalence of lithium-ion battery packs in mobility scooters and the need to contain a fire without moving the device.
• Battery Charging Stations: Facilities, apartment buildings, and storage areas that charge multiple e-bikes, scooters, or battery packs benefit from having a properly sized containment blanket on hand given the elevated thermal runaway risk during charging.
• Workshops and Storage Areas: General-purpose containment for larger equipment fires or burning material where a small kitchen blanket would be inadequate to fully cover the hazard.

To ensure this fire blanket is ready when needed, follow these handling and storage guidelines:

• Single-Use Only: Once deployed on a fire, the blanket must be discarded and replaced, even if it appears undamaged. Heat exposure degrades the fabric at a microscopic level that is not always visible.
• Storage Location: Store the pouch in a clean, dry, easily accessible location away from direct heat sources, and where personnel can reach it quickly given its larger size and weight relative to a kitchen blanket.
• Periodic Visual Inspection: Periodically check the pouch and pull tabs for damage, moisture intrusion, or signs that the blanket has shifted inside its packaging, which can slow deployment in an emergency.
• Replacement After Use or Damage: Replace the unit immediately after any deployment, or if the packaging or fabric shows signs of damage, contamination, or degradation from storage conditions.

Will this fully extinguish an e-bike battery fire?

It may not guarantee complete extinguishment on its own. Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway can generate its own internal oxygen supply, allowing combustion to continue even when external air is excluded. The blanket's primary role is containment: smothering visible flame where possible, suppressing sparks and flying debris, and slowing fire and smoke spread to people and surroundings while you call emergency services and continue monitoring the situation from a safe distance.

Why is this so much bigger than a kitchen fire blanket?

Standard kitchen fire blankets are typically capped around 1.2m x 1.8m, sized to smother a pan fire or wrap a person. An e-bike, mobility scooter, or similar device is much bulkier, so a blanket this size needs to fully envelop the object to create an effective oxygen barrier. A kitchen-sized blanket would leave gaps that allow the fire to continue burning.

Can I reuse this blanket if I only used it briefly and it looks fine?

No. This is a single-use blanket. Even brief heat exposure can compromise the fabric's structural integrity at a level that isn't visible to the naked eye. Always discard and replace the blanket after any deployment, regardless of how it appears.
