Fire Isolator EV-Car Fire Protection
(7)- Ev car fires can reach peak temperatures of over 1500°C (as witnessed during our tests). Regular combustion engine cars of around 800° C.
- By covering the burning EV with the Fire Isolator blanket, the temperature os the fire already dropped to around 600-800°C.
- After using the water mist lance and aerosol unit, the temperature of the fire dropped to around 200-300°C.
- The fie Isolator is a concept that allows you to control the fire and minimize collateral damage.
- Once the EV car is burning the Fire Isolator concep should be deployed using PPE and SCBA.
- The Fire Isolator fire blanket is reusable up to 6-7 times, based on the results form our own live test.//
Statement on the Safety and Effectiveness of Fire Isolator EV Car Fire Blankets
At Fire Isolator, safety and innovation are at the core of our mission. We have taken note of the recent warning from the NFPA regarding the potential risk of explosion when using car fire blankets on electric vehicles (EVs) experiencing battery thermal runaway. While we respect their findings, we believe it is important to provide clarity on how our Fire Isolator EV blanket is engineered differently—and why it remains a trusted solution for EV fire emergencies.
Key Differentiators of the Fire Isolator EV Blanket
1. Breathable, Open-Weave Silica Construction
- Our blanket is made from 98% silica cloth, woven with an open structure that allows flammable gases and vapor to escape, significantly reducing the risk of gas buildup and subsequent explosion. See attached image.
- This design contrasts with thicker, less permeable blankets that may trap heat and gases.
2. Proven Performance in Real-World Testing
- We have conducted 15+ live EV fire tests (with batteries in thermal runaway) and have **never witnessed a major explosion.
- Our blanket is designed to smother flames while safely managing gas dispersion, providing critical time for emergency responders.
Our Commitment to Safety and Transparency
We welcome ongoing research into EV fire safety and will continue to refine our technology based on the latest findings. However, our extensive testing and unique blanket design demonstrate that the Fire Isolator EV blanket remains a safe, effective tool for suppressing EV fires when used correctly.
For emergency responders and fleet operators, we stand by our product’s performance.
