REPLACEMENT FIRE BLANKET

FLAME RETARDANT BLANKET WITH UNE EN 1869 CERTIFICATION

Texfire’s flame retardant fire blanket has CE marking and European certification UNE EN 1869, meeting the technical requirements specified in RIPCI (Regulation for systems of protection against fires). Designed and manufactured in Barberá del Vallès (Spain), it is a fire protective element. It can perform as an element to suffocate small fires, or as a thermal barrier of personal safety to cover people and avoid burns during an evacuation or escaping process from the fire area.

Unlike conventional fire blankets, made out of fiberglass, Texfire’s fire blanket is made of the non-fabric NT PREOX 200 of pre-carbonized fibers, which perform as a barrier against fire; thanks to its inherent flame retardant features and its good performance in front of a direct contact with flames (does not burn, nor melt or leak). Fibers used in this blanket do not irritate skin, and its fiber-bonded structure turns it into a soft, light and flexible blankets, easing its handling.

The blanket’s contour is finished with an overlock sewing of Nomex® meta-aramid red flame retardant thread. It also incorporates two handles in order to ease its extraction in case of emergency. The blanket is totally reversible and can be used indistinctly on both sides. It includes use, maintenance and folding instructions. Available in 3 sizes.

All flame retardant fire blankets manufactured by Texfire are valid, according to regulatory requirements, for 20 years since their production, even though the blanket’s fabric keeps its flame retardant features during all its useful life.

This blanket is presented inside a transparent plastic bag, and it’s conceived to replace an already used flame retardant blanket, it’s a spare product. In order to meet with UNE EN 1869 or RIPCI (Regulation for systems of protection against fires) requirements, it must be stored in the cover or in the stainless steel case of Texfire.
