Fire resistant blankets for lithium battery fire protection

Lithium batteries are an increasingly common solution in the majority of industrial sectors, such as electronics and automotive. However, their use poses significant risks, especially in the event of a fire.

These batteries can release energy explosively when overheated, which can lead to dangerous situations. Therefore, the implementation of fire resistant blankets designed for direct contact with these batteries in case of fire is crucial to ensure safety in companies handling them.

RISKS FOR COMPANIES USING LITHIUM BATTERIES

• Fires and Explosions: Thermal failures can cause intense fires and explosions that damage property and cause injuries.
• Environmental Contamination: A fire can release toxic chemicals, endangering public health and the environment.
• Recovery Costs: Property damage and production downtime can result in significant economic losses.
• Reputation Impact: Incidents related to lithium batteries can harm a company's reputation, affecting relationships with customers and business partners.

Texfire has developed fire resistant blankets specifically designed for direct contact with lithium batteries. These blankets are made from fabrics resistant to extreme temperatures and act as a fire barrier. Their design allows batteries to be wrapped in case of fire, minimizing the spread of flames and the risk of explosions, providing an effective solution for companies handling these technologies.

TESTS CONDUCTED DIRECTLY ON BATTERIES

Texfire has carried out tests with different textile solutions, applying their fire resistant blankets to lithium batteries during fire incidents. These tests have demonstrated their effectiveness in containing fires, showing the blankets' capacity to withstand the high temperatures generated during battery failure.

TARGET SECTORS

Fire resistant blankets for lithium batteries are particularly useful in various sectors:

1. Electronics: Companies manufacturing portable electronic devices.
2. Automotive: The automotive industry, especially with the rise of electric vehicles.
3. Renewable Energy: Facilities using lithium batteries for solar or wind energy storage.
4. Logistics and Storage: Warehouses handling large quantities of lithium batteries.
5. Manufacturing: Companies integrating lithium batteries into products such as power tools.

Handling lithium batteries entails considerable risks for companies. Texfire’s fire resistant blankets are an effective solution to mitigate these risks, providing protection in emergency situations. With a focus on innovation and safety, Texfire establishes itself as a leader in the industry, helping companies protect their assets and ensure a safe working environment.
