Frequently Asked Questions
1. What material is used in laboratory fire blankets?
Most professional fire blankets, such as those from JUTEC and W.Söhngen, are made from high-grade glass fiber, which is non-combustible and capable of withstanding the high temperatures found in laboratory fires.
2. Why is a dedicated fire blanket container necessary?
Steel containers, like the JT5000LB, protect the fire blanket from laboratory contaminants, moisture, and physical damage, ensuring the blanket remains in optimal condition and can be deployed instantly.
3. Can a fire blanket be reused after a fire?
Generally, fire blankets are intended for one-time use. Once exposed to fire or extreme heat, the fiber structure may be compromised, so it is recommended to replace the blanket immediately after an incident.
4. Are these blankets large enough for clothing fires?
Yes, the standard size of 1800x1600mm provided by brands like W.Söhngen is specifically designed to be large enough to wrap around a person or cover a typical laboratory bench spill.
