Technical Specifications of Our EV Fire Blankets

The fire blankets from Fingerhuth have been specifically developed to meet the demanding requirements of electromobility. They combine maximum temperature resistance with certified safety in accordance with DIN SPEC 91489.

  • High temperature resistance: made from advanced heat-resistant materials, the blankets withstand continuous temperatures up to 1200 °C and short-term peaks up to 1600 °C.
  • Compliance and certified safety: tested and certified according to current safety standards DIN EN 13501-1 and DIN SPEC 91489:2024.
  • Non-combustible (DIN EN 13501-1): officially classified as non-combustible building material – crucial for applications in car parks, industrial halls and public facilities.
  • Chemical resistance: resistant to oil, water and a wide range of chemicals; the blankets remain durably effective even under demanding conditions.
  • Robust construction: reinforced seams made of steel-reinforced Kevlar® thread and durable carrying loops ensure maximum tear and flame resistance as well as safe handling under full load.
  • Radio transparency: the materials allow radio and emergency signals to pass through without interference – a decisive factor for fire and rescue operations.
  • Made in Germany: we design and manufacture our fire blankets in Germany – as a manufacturer with over 35 years of experience. 100% Made in Germany.

Applications of EV Fire Blankets

Fingerhuth fire blankets provide universal fire protection for electric vehicles and lithium-ion battery technologies and are an indispensable safety tool in a wide range of scenarios:

  • Vehicle fires: fast and effective containment of fires in electric cars or other vehicles – to control the flames and protect the surroundings.
  • Car parks and underground garages: in areas with high vehicle density, fire blankets prevent flames from spreading to adjacent cars. Stored in practical wall cabinets next to charging points, they are immediately ready for use in an emergency.
  • Car dealerships, showrooms and exhibitions: preventive fire protection for display areas and service facilities with electric vehicles.
  • Fuel stations and charging infrastructure: at public charging points and filling stations, fire blankets enable immediate isolation in the event of a fire, protecting people, buildings and nearby vehicles. With a trolley, the blankets can be quickly and easily transported to the incident site.
  • Ferries and port terminals: during the transport of electric vehicles, fire blankets are crucial to isolate cars quickly and prevent the spread of flames and smoke.
  • Workshops and service centers: since damaged lithium-ion batteries can ignite even days after an accident, having a blanket within direct reach ensures maximum operational safety.

Our E-Mobility Fire Protection Specialists will answer your questions and provide the right solution for your application.
