Silicone coated fire blankets are a must-have if you'd like to prioritise your fire safety. NEW-TEX fire blankets have a unique silicone coating that provides higher flame resistance. This special coating improves the fire resistance of the blanket and makes it more durable and effective. Here’s a look at how silicone-coated fire blanket function and why they are the best for fire safety. 

How does silicone coating increase the fire retardation of fire blankets? 

Fire blankets are coated with silicone that could be described as a super shield. It gives the blankets a lot more toughness against fire. The silicone-coated blanket can withstand the heat better and extinguish the flames if a fire occurs. Up to now, ordinary blankets could easily catch flame or be torn apart under high heat without that shield. NEW-TEX utilizes a unique silicone technology to ensure the blanket fire remains even in extremely hot fires. Which is what makes it such a valuable tool in the fight to keep people and places safe from fire. 

Advantages of using silicone coated fire blankets

There are numerous benefits of having a silicone-coated fire blanket. It’s really strong against fire for one. What it means is that when you cover a fire with it, the fire can’t breathe. It also doesn’t get beat up easily, so you can use it again. And it’s not a problem to touch and handle, which is, of course, incredibly important in the event of an emergency. NEW-TEX has made these fireproof blanket lightweight for easy storage and transport so you’ll always have one on hand when there’s a fire.  

Deciphering the science of fire resistance with silicone-coated fire blankets

Now, silicone is not just any thing that doesn’t want to catch fire. As a product intended to be placed around fire blankets, it is a barrier that’s difficult for heat and flames to penetrate. That's because silicone is able to withstand extremely high temps - a lot higher than most can get. So when a fire hits a silicone-coated blanket, the blanket can cool the fire off and prevent it from growing. They've done a good job with NEW-TEX on making their silicone coating super strong.  

What makes fire blankets the best choice for flame protection? 

There are all sorts of ways you can stay safe in the event of a fire, however, silicone-coated fire blankets can be the best options out there. They’re not only effective for extinguishing fires, they are easy to activate, too. There are no special training requirements to use one, either – just grab it and throw it over the fire. Plus, they don’t cause a mess like a fire extinguisher could. So for fast, clean fire protection, NEW-TEX’s silicone-coated fire blankets are the best.  

The nature of silicone-coated fire blankets at work

The blanket prevents the fire from receiving oxygen and suffocates it. The silicone is there so the blanket doesn’t catch fire itself, allowing you to react quickly without stress. This is just how dependable and efficient silicone-coated fire blankets are in the real world.
