EV Fire Blanket Premium Plus

The EV Fire Blanket Premium Plus is Vlitex’s next-generation blanket for electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery fires, built specifically for fire departments and emergency responders who deal with these incidents regularly.

Two features set it apart from a standard fire blanket. A built-in gas release system – two vents in the centre of the blanket – lets hot, flammable gases escape in a controlled way instead of building up underneath, reducing the risk of a sudden flare-up when the blanket is lifted or moved. A safe-pull system lets responders cinch the blanket tight against the vehicle from a safe distance, without needing to approach the vehicle to manually tuck the edges in.

Independently tested on a live EV fire – a Tesla with a 100kWh battery pack – the blanket significantly reduced surrounding temperature and smoke within seconds of deployment.

Important note on reuse: if the blanket has been used in a fire, it must be disposed of and replaced in line with DIN SPEC 91489, even if there’s no visible damage — fire residue on the material is toxic, and certification only applies to the blanket in its original, unused condition.
