DVM-FLB-6x8: Fire Limitation Blanket for Electric Vehicles – 6 × 8 m, Heavy-Duty High-Silica Fiberglass with Double-Sided Silicone Coating
DVM Fire Limitation Blanket 6 × 8 m – Professional Fire Protection for Electric Vehicles
Professional EV Fire Limitation Blanket · 6 × 8 m · High-Silica Fiberglass · Double-Sided Silicone Coating · Designed for Professional Emergency Response
The DVM Fire Limitation Blanket is a professional fire safety product designed to help limit the effects of fires involving electric vehicles (EVs). The blanket measures 6 × 8 metres and is intended for use by trained emergency responders and other qualified personnel.
When placed over a vehicle involved in a fire incident, the blanket helps contain visible flames and reduce the spread of heat, smoke and burning debris to the surrounding area. Its purpose is to support incident control and help protect nearby vehicles, equipment and infrastructure.
The blanket is manufactured from heavy-duty high-silica fiberglass fabric with a silicone coating on both sides. Its construction is designed for demanding high-temperature applications.

Heavy-Duty High-Silica Fiberglass Construction
The DVM Fire Limitation Blanket is manufactured from high-silica fiberglass fabric with a specified base weight of 640 grams per square metre (g/m²).
A silicone coating is applied to both sides of the fabric. This results in a finished material weight of approximately 1,100 g/m² and a material thickness of approximately 0.75 mm.
The material has a specified working temperature of up to 1,200 °C and a melting point of approximately 1,700 °C. These values describe material properties and do not represent a guarantee of performance under every fire condition.
The heavy-duty construction is intended for demanding professional applications where limiting the spread of flames and heat is essential.
Independently Tested Material – European Classification A2-s1,d0
The material used to manufacture the DVM Fire Limitation Blanket has been independently tested by SGS using the test methods EN 13823 and EN ISO 1716.
The tested material has been classified in accordance with EN 13501-1:2018 and achieved the European reaction-to-fire classification A2-s1,d0.
This classification describes the reaction-to-fire performance of the tested material. It does not constitute certification or type approval of the complete Fire Limitation Blanket.
Designed for Professional EV Fire Incident Management
A Fire Limitation Blanket is designed to cover a vehicle involved in a fire incident and help limit the effects of the fire on its immediate surroundings.
When a lithium-ion battery experiences thermal runaway, individual battery cells can continue generating heat and gases without an external oxygen supply. Covering the vehicle with a fire limitation blanket does not necessarily extinguish the battery fire or stop thermal runaway.
The primary purpose of the DVM Fire Limitation Blanket is therefore fire limitation and incident control, rather than guaranteed fire extinguishment.
The blanket can support professional emergency response by helping to:
- Limit the spread of visible flames to nearby vehicles and objects.
- Reduce the exposure of surrounding equipment and infrastructure to the fire.
- Contain some burning debris within the covered area.
- Support established emergency-response and incident-management procedures.
The blanket does not eliminate the risks associated with battery thermal runaway, including toxic gases, pressure build-up, explosion hazards and possible reignition.
Recommended Professional Applications
The DVM Fire Limitation Blanket is intended for professional organisations that may need to manage vehicle fire incidents.
Typical applications include:
- Fire and rescue services.
- Vehicle dealerships and repair workshops.
- Electric vehicle manufacturers and testing facilities.
- Fleet operators and vehicle rental companies.
- Vehicle distribution centres and storage facilities.
- Parking facilities and underground car parks.
- Electric vehicle charging locations.
- Industrial facilities and professional safety organisations.
The blanket must be deployed by appropriately trained personnel as part of an established fire-safety and emergency-response procedure.
Important Safety Information
- Professional Use Only: The blanket is intended for trained personnel who understand the hazards associated with electric vehicle fires.
- Fire Limitation, Not Guaranteed Extinguishment: The blanket may help limit the effects of a fire but cannot be relied upon to stop battery thermal runaway.
- Hazardous Gases: Toxic and flammable gases may still escape from beneath the blanket.
- Reignition Risk: Battery cells may remain hot and can reignite after the initial incident.
- Safe Deployment: Personnel must assess the incident and follow their established safety procedures before approaching or covering a vehicle.
- Emergency Response: The blanket is an additional fire-management tool and does not replace professional firefighting procedures, cooling methods or emergency services.
DIN 19489 – Independent Testing of the Complete Fire Limitation Blanket
The DVM Fire Limitation Blanket 6 × 8 m is being independently tested by SGS in accordance with DIN 19489, the German standard addressing fire limitation blankets for use with electric vehicles.
This testing concerns the complete Fire Limitation Blanket, rather than only the fiberglass material used in its manufacture.
The final SGS test report will provide documented information about the performance of the complete blanket under the applicable test conditions.
Technical documentation and the final SGS test report will be made available following completion of the testing process.
