Silicone Coated Fire Blanket vs Ordinary Fire Blanket
Overview:The two most common types of home fire blankets are the ordinary fiberglass cloth fire blanket (high-quality home fire blankets generally use 3732 fiberglass cloth) and the silicone-coated fire blanket. Which one is better?
Generally speaking, the silicone-coated fire blanket is coated with high-temperature silicone on top of the original fiberglass cloth, offering several advantages:
- The surface is smoother, with fewer fiberglass threads sticking out, which does not irritate the skin.
- It takes less time to extinguish a fire because it has almost no gaps, quickly cutting off the oxygen supply.
- It can be reused more times. However, as a home fire blanket, the simple fiberglass cloth fire blanket also meets basic needs and is relatively cheaper, making it popular among many people.
The price of a silicone-coated fire blanket is generally more than twice that of an ordinary fire blanket.
Note: Fire blankets are fireproof equipment made from fiberglass fabric and should not be mixed with other clothing. It is recommended to hang them in locations prone to fire hazards, such as the kitchen or near fireplaces, and quickly take them out for use to extinguish small flames.
Common Question: Is the silicone fire blanket toxic?
Answer: The silicone-coated fire blanket is made from high-temperature silicone material, which has excellent heat resistance and sealing properties. It can effectively cut off air supply to extinguish flames. This material is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, with no expiration date. It can be reused repeatedly as long as there are no damages or oil stains.
