Fire blankets for Lithium Battery Fires? Here's the EMME Antincendio solution

Fires related to lithium batteries pose a significant risk due to their high energy density and the possibility of thermal runaway events. This phenomenon can cause a rapid rise in temperature and the release of flammable gases, leading to fires that are difficult to control and potentially explosive. The main critical issues include:

Rapid spread
The heat generated by a leaking cell can propagate to adjacent cells, increasing the risk of large-scale fires.

Release of toxic gases
During combustion, lithium batteries can release hazardous gases such as hydrogen fluoride and carbon monoxide.

Transport and storage risks
Lithium batteries require special safety measures during transport and storage to prevent overheating and accidental puncture.

Fire Isolator is an innovative and effective solution: a certified, state-of-the-art system designed to promptly react, smothering flames and preventing the spread of fire. Thanks to its advanced insulation technology, it guarantees maximum safety for operators and protection of the surrounding environment, while minimising structural damage and collateral risks.

How it works

1. The fire blanket is laid over the fire to smother and confine the flames, eliminating oxygen and preventing the fire from spreading
   
   

2. The inhibitor aerosol, containing potassium nitrate (KNO3), is released to stop combustion and prevent the fire from restarting.
   
   

3. The Water mist lance rapidly cools the deck surface, lowering the temperature and reducing the dispersion of smoke and toxic gases.
   
   

Key Benefits:

• Unique on the market with resistance up to 1700°C. More than any other fire resistant blanket available. 

• Immediate cessation of the fire with reduction of available oxygen, stopping the spread of flames within seconds.

• Fast and easy to use.

• ISO EN 13501-1 and ASTM D6413 certified, internationally recognised for reliability in fire safety operations.   

• Advanced protection for operators, reducing exposure to heat and toxic gases.

• Complete and ready-to-use kits.
