Car Fire Blanket
We design it, we make it, we test it.
Suntex car fire blanket is a safety device specifically designed to handle fires that may happen in vehicles. It is a sheet made of non-flammable materials like fire-resistant fabric or fiberglass.
If a fire occurs, the blanket is used to cover the flames entirely, which helps to suffocate them by depriving them of oxygen and effectively putting out the fire. Car fire blankets are compact, easy to store, and can be readily accessed during emergencies. They are an essential safety tool to have on hand in a vehicle.
The principle of a car fire blanket is to smother the fire and cut off its oxygen supply, which helps control and suppress the flames.
You can use a car fire blanket to extinguish the flames of a burning fuel vehicle.
But you can't extinguish the flames of a buring electrical vehicle, because batteries generate their own oxygen when they burn. So for burning electrical vehicles, car fire blankets can only control the flames and protect the safety of people and property around them. Only through the car fire blanket and tons of water can the fire be completely controlled.

How to use the car fire blanket?
Step 1. Pulling Out Car Fire Blanket
Quickly pulling out the car fire blanket from the carrying bag. Which has rope in the top, should release it firstly.
Do not get too close to the car when pulling out the blanket. A car on fire is very dangerous and the blanket should be pulled out in a safe place.
Step 2. Unfolding Blanket
Unfold the car fire blanket: Remove it from its storage location/carrying bag and unfold it fully, ensuring it is free of any obstructions or tangles.
When unfolding the car fire blanket, be cautious not to tangle the handles together to avoid difficulty in separating them, which could delay the rescue operation.
Step 3. Grabing Handles
There are a total of four handles on the car fire blanket blanket, with one at each corner. It requires a minimum of two individuals to grab the handles at the corners of the shorter sides, quickly lift the blanket, and cover the vehicle that is on fire.
The car fire blanket should be elevated as much as possible before dragging it to cover the burning vehicle. If it is not elevated sufficiently, there is a high chance that the blanket will get caught at the front of the vehicle, making it difficult to continue dragging.
Step 4. Covering the Fire Vehicle
Drag the car fire blanket and completely cover the burning vehicle with it.
Do not overdrag the car fire blanket to prevent parts of the vehicle from being uncovered and exposed again.
Step 5. Wrap the Corners of Vehicle
After the car fire blanket has completely covered the vehicle, try to wrap the blanket around the car as much as possible to isolate the air.
When there are significant flames on the vehicle, exercise caution as there is a risk of explosion. It may be advisable to skip this step or utilize long tools to accomplish it safely.
How to clean a car fire blanket for reuse?

Make sure its storage location is easy to access and there are no sharp objects or items that could damage the fire blanket around it.Can the car fire blanket withstand sharp edges?
The fire blanket is typically made from fiberglass, which gives it high strength and heat resistance. However, if it gets damaged or develops holes due to contact with sharp objects, its effectiveness for multiple uses will be significantly compromised. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid contact with sharp edges when using the fire blanket to ensure its reliability and safety in emergency situations.
Does the car fire blanket have PFAS materials?
SUNTEX’s fire blankets do not contain any PFAS materials. These blankets are designed to provide safety without compromising on health concerns associated with PFAS substances. You can feel confident using SUNTEX fire blankets.
How long does the car fire blanket should cover a fire car?
- Fuel Vehicle Fires
A typical fire will be extinguished by a fire blanket within a few minutes. However, for added safety, it is advisable to keep the blanket covering the fire for 20-30 minutes. Ideally, a thermal imaging camera should be employed to verify that the temperature beneath the blanket has fallen below 200 °C. Using water can help accelerate the cooling process.
- Electric Vehicle Fires
During an electric vehicle fire, a fire blanket can help contain the flames and prevent the fire from spreading. While the blanket will manage the flames, heat, and smoke, it is important to note that it does not extinguish a battery fire due to the lack of oxygen. Ensure that the temperature has sufficiently decreased, as battery cells may continue to react for several hours and could reignite.
How many times the car fire blanket can be used?
The ability to reuse a fire blanket is influenced by the fire load, specifically how long it was in use and the temperatures it encountered. It’s also important to inspect the blanket for any physical damage, such as cracks or holes.
We have observed that the silicone coating may sometimes develop white spots. This is a normal reaction occurring when the coating fuses with the glass fibers, and it does not compromise the blanket’s performance.
In general, if the blanket does not have any cracks or holes, it can continue to be used.
Does the car fire blanket have an expiry date?
As long as it is stored properly, a car fire blanket has no expiration date. The car fire blanket should be kept in a cool, dry place whenever possible, avoiding direct sunlight.
