Fire extinguishing principle of fire blanket

There are three main methods of fire extinguishing, which are the isolation method, asphyxiation method, and cooling method, and many fires fighting products we see, including fire extinguishers, fire extinguishing balls, fire blankets, etc. are based on the principles of these three methods of fire extinguishing. The basic principle of the isolation method of fire extinguishing is to separate or divide the burning object from the combustible material, so that the combustion has no support, cannot continue to burn, and then gradually stop. Continued combustion requires oxygen to fuel the fire, asphyxiation method is to prevent oxygen air into the combustion area, the burning material, and oxygen isolated, and then make the combustion cannot continue, and gradually extinguish the fire. The cooling method is lower than the flame temperature of the fire extinguishing agent sprayed directly on the burning material, so that the temperature of the burning material down to below the ignition point, so that the burning stops, the most common is to use water to extinguish. The fire blanket is a combination of the isolation method and asphyxiation method for the design. The fire blanket is made of heat insulation and refractory material, which can be directly covered by the fire source to isolate the burning object and combustible material to prevent the expansion of the fire, on the other hand, the fire blanket can also play a role in blocking the air on the fire source so that the burning material cannot contact the air to achieve the effect of asphyxiation.

The main use place of fire blanket

A fire blanket is mainly used as a simple initial fire extinguishing tool in enterprises, shopping malls, ships, automobiles, civil buildings, and other occasions. It is especially suitable for the kitchen of families and restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, gas stations, and some other places that are easy to catch fire, prevent the spread of fire, and protect the escape. In the event of a fire, the fire escape blanket draped over their own body or wrapped around the body of the rescued object, quickly escapes the fire, for self-help or safe evacuation of the crowd provides a good help. If there is a real fire accident after the fire, you can wear the fire blanket, but also can greatly reduce the risk of being burned.

The main performance characteristics of fire blanket

Non-combustible can withstand the high temperature of 550~1100℃, soft, smooth, tight, and non-irritating to skin, it is an ideal and effective outer protection layer for people and things that need to be away from the heat source, and it is very easy to wrap objects with an uneven surface, and can be reused without breakage.

How to use the fire blanket

In the early stage of fire, but the fire blanket directly on the fire source, the fire source can be extinguished in a short period of time to inhibit the expansion of the fire.

When the fire is larger, the fire blanket can be wrapped around people or things to protect people and things and prevent the damage of high temperature to the human body.
