Why are fire blankets not made into fire extinguishing clothes?

fire blankets are mainly used in enterprises, shopping malls, ships, automobiles, civil buildings, and other occasions, especially in the kitchens of families and restaurants, hotels, entertainment venues, gas stations, and other places prone to fire, to prevent the spread of fire and protection escape use. I believe that many people will have questions about the fire blanket: obviously, clothes on the human body wrapping effect are better, why make fire blankets rather than fire extinguishing clothes? In this article, we will answer this question.

Here is the list of contents

• Dictated by the cost of materials

• Affected by habit

Dictated by the cost of materials

A fire extinguishing blanket is made of flame-retardant fiber fabric, the price of such fiber varies, the lower price of the fiber fabric can not be made into clothing, comfort is also poor, and can be made into clothing fiber fabric cost is too high. Therefore, the cost is the factor that determines the fire blanket can not be used as fire fighting clothes. In fact, the clothes worn by firefighters in the performance of firefighting tasks is the firefighting clothes, but we often hear that such clothes are stuffy and not breathable, but this is already the best choice, the use of other fabrics to manufacture firefighting clothes, comfort will only be worse.

Affected by habit

This is mainly in two aspects, one is the instinctive habits of people when on fire, and the second is the habit of people to put out the fire. First of all, let's talk about people's fire fighting habits. In the event of a fire, we are accustomed to using blankets, quilts and other heavy fabrics dipped in water to put out the fire, this is because these things are better accessible, and in a large area, you can cover a wide range of burning materials, so as to achieve the effect of suffocation, cooling fire. As we mentioned before, the fire blanket mainly uses the isolation method and asphyxiation method to extinguish the fire, this is because the fire blanket is made of non-combustible fiber fabric, unlike ordinary blankets, quilts, and other flammable, so it does not have to be wet to directly cover the fire source. And fire blankets have the advantage of easy access to blankets and quilts, covering a large area, even if the fire jacket has the same fire performance as the fire blanket, a small fire jacket can not achieve the coverage of a wide range of fire sources, which is why it is a fire blanket and not a fire jacket.

On the other hand, let's talk about the instinctive habits of people when they are on fire. We know that the fire blanket has two roles, one is in the early stage of the fire when there is a fire extinguishing effect, on the other hand, when the fire has a protective effect on the human body. Speaking of which there may be readers who have doubts: fireproof clothing can better wrap the human body, why not designed fireproof clothing? This is actually quite understandable. Fires generally occur when people are not prepared, most of them are very urgent situations. In this case, spend a few minutes wearing fireproof clothing and then flee the fireplace, it is likely that the fire has spread to your front, therefore, we use the design of a fire blanket, when the fire appears, the blanket wrapped around the body, quickly flee the fire scene, can greatly save the time to escape. But fireproof clothing is very necessary for firefighters, on the one hand, firefighters need to work for a long time in a hot environment, fireproof clothing can play a very good protective role; on the other hand, firefighters have been professionally trained, they can even put the clothes on in ten seconds, which is very difficult for ordinary people who have not been trained. Therefore, fireproof clothing is more used for professional occasions.
