** Material Fire Test: Based on information assimilated from the fabric manufacturers technical database, definitive ISO testing is currently in progress (as at 03/12/2021).
*** Fire Resistance Testing: Samples were submitted to Intertek® and furnace testing to 800°C was conducted. The material, whilst compromised, retained is structure and was deemed effective for the intended purpose.
NOTE: Whilst EV fires can reach core temperatures exceeding 1,300°C, the surface temperature of the vehicle body will be much lower than this. Once deployed the EV Car Fire Blanket reduces temperature rapidly by depriving the fire of Oxygen. This allows the EV Car Fire Blanket to perform effectively within its fire resistance ratings.

How does the car fire blanket work?
- Call firefighters! Two people open the blanket and pull over the car.
- PULL the blanket OVER THE CAR
- Make sure ALL SIDES ARE CLOSED AROUND THE CAR
- STEP AWAY from the car and wait for around 20 min
- FIREFIGHTERS remove the blanket
- The reusable type can then be cleaned dried and repacked for later use.
Follow step 1-3. After the blanket has been placed tight to the ground, wait 2-3 minutes and listen. If you can hear strong fuzz sounds about every 3-15 seconds, you have a thermal runaway. leave the re blanket on until the sound stops. This is a small discharge that goes from cell to cell. The blanket will prevent the small discharge from spreading elsewhere in the car.
Also consider the use to the Electric vehicle isolator plug, (SKU00347) this item isolates the power from the battery stopping shorts and the vehicle going into drive motion.
