It was incredibly effective. But what's the science behind this approach?

These blankets are typically made from high-temperature resistant materials like fiberglass, which have a high melting point and are non-flammable. When a car catches fire, firefighters drape the blanket over the vehicle, creating a seal that cuts off the oxygen supply. Since fire cannot exist without oxygen, the flames are smothered and gradually die out.

With many options on the market, why does Suntex's blanket stand out?

Here’s the key differentiator: After being securely placed over a burning vehicle for about 10 minutes, the Suntex blanket begins to vent gases from inside. Burning EV batteries produce immense smoke and flammable gases that need to be released; otherwise, trapped energy can lead to a dangerous explosion.

Suntex professionally tests their blanket material for breathability, achieving a permeability rate of 2.3-2.7 cm³/(cm²·s). This specific venting speed is crucial—it strategically reduces the risk of combustion and explosion after the blanket has been deployed, without allowing enough oxygen back in to re-ignite the flames.

By integrating both fire control and smoke ventilation, the Suntex Fire Control Blanket proves to be an exceptional tool in modern firefighting and emergency response for electric vehicles.
