What are the kinds of fire blankets?

A fire blanket is a safety device designed to extinguish small, initial fires. It is made of flame-retardant material and is placed over the fire to suffocate it. And it can be widely used in kitchens, restaurants, hospitals, hotels, laboratories, gas stations, automobiles, etc. So what is the fire extinguishing blankets? This article will introduce the classification of fire extinguishing blankets.

Here is the list of contents

• Classification by base material

• Advantages of a fire blanket compared with a fire extinguisher

• Classification characteristics of the materials used in fire blankets

Classification by base material

Due to the different substrates used, the product names are as follows: cotton fire blanket, asbestos fire blanket, glass fiber fire blanket, high silicone fire blanket, carbon fiber fire blanket, ceramic fiber fire blanket, etc. In addition, fire extinguishing blankets can also be classified according to the use, divided into household fire extinguishing blankets and industrial fire extinguishing blankets.

A fire blanket is an ideal and effective outer protection layer for people and objects that must be kept away from heat sources, and it is very easy to wrap objects with uneven surfaces. A fire blanket is also an easy fire fighting tool for businesses, stores, ships, automobiles, and civil buildings, especially for home kitchens, hotels, entertainment venues, gas stations, and other fire-prone occasions to prevent the spread of fire.

Advantages of a fire blanket compared with a fire extinguisher

A fire extinguishing blanket can be reused without breakage. Compared with water-based and dry powder fire extinguishers, a fire extinguishing blanket has the following advantages.

l No expiration dates.

l No secondary contamination after use.

l Insulation and high-temperature resistance.

l Easy to carry, the simple configuration can be used quickly, no breakage when able to reuse.

Because the fire blanket is a very soft texture of the fire apparatus, when encountering the initial stage of the fire, can be the fastest speed to isolate the oxygen fire, control the spread of the disaster, but also as a timely escape with protective items.

Classification characteristics of the materials used in fire blankets

Refractory fiber is a good infrared radiation material, with good thermal capacity and infrared heating effect, the use of refractory fiber products can effectively save energy, is the ideal energy-saving efficiency material. Production practice has proved that the application of refractory fiber in continuous heating industrial furnaces can save more than 15% energy, used in the intermittent industrial heating furnace can save more than 30% energy, while increasing productivity and improving product quality, to achieve lighter and larger furnace structure, good overall performance. Refractory fiber is soft, elastic, and ideal sealing material. It is widely used in metallurgy, building materials, petroleum, chemical industry, shipping, electric power, aerospace, and other fields because of its insulating, sound-deadening, anti-oxidation, oil and water resistance properties, and easy construction.
