Real-World Burn Tests Show SUNTEX Fire Blanket Holds Up for 60 Minutes, Offering New Line of Defense for Electric Vehicles
In recent years, as electric vehicles (EVs) have surged in popularity, battery fires have become a major concern for both car owners and industry experts. Effectively controlling EV fires to minimize casualties and property damage has emerged as a critical challenge in global fire safety.
Now, a Chinese-made "car fire blanket" is making waves in domestic and international markets—capable of withstanding the extreme heat of EV battery explosions while remaining reusable, buying crucial time for firefighters.
60 Minutes in Flames! Stunning Real-World Test Results
Developed by SUNTEX in collaboration with leading Chinese universities, this fire blanket, branded as the SUNTEX , has undergone multiple live vehicle burn tests. Data shows it can resist EV battery fires for up to 60 minutes and can be reused multiple times, far exceeding the capabilities of conventional firefighting equipment.
Even more impressive, the high-performance version utilizes aerospace-grade heat-resistant materials, withstanding short-term temperatures of up to 1700°C. It effectively blocks flames, smoke, and explosion impacts, preventing fires from spreading to nearby vehicles or buildings.
From Lab to Market: Chinese Tech Surpasses Global Standards
As early as 2019, SUNTEX successfully entered the European market, earning trust from international clients. In 2022, the R&D team further upgraded the material technology, enhancing its durability, water resistance, and corrosion resistance for more complex applications.
Today, the product has passed multiple international certifications, including EN13501-1 and GB8624-2012, and has been deployed in high-risk environments such as charging stations, roll-on/roll-off ships, and vehicle warehouses.
Why Is It a "Fire-Stopping Marvel"? Key Technologies Revealed
Special High-Temperature Fiber: Co-developed with top-tier universities, the material can endure 1000°C+ long-term and 1600°C instant heat.
Military-Grade Stitching: Reinforced sewing techniques ensure the blanket remains intact under extreme conditions, resisting the force of vehicle explosions.
Multi-Scenario Use: Suitable not only for EVs but also for traditional fuel vehicles, battery storage facilities, and maritime transport—preventing "chain-reaction fires."
Industry Buzz: Could This Become a Standard for EVs?
With the rapid growth of EV adoption, fire safety has become a pressing issue. Industry experts suggest that proactive fireproofing solutions like the SUNTEX could soon be a must-have for charging stations, underground parking, and logistics fleets.
"Once an EV catches fire, traditional extinguishers struggle to contain it quickly. But this blanket can buy at least 30 minutes of critical rescue time, drastically reducing losses," said a fire safety specialist.
Currently, the product comes in standard and high-performance versions, with customizable sizes. It may soon expand into more sectors, contributing to global EV safety advancements.
Public Reactions:
"This is real cutting-edge tech! Every charging station should have one."
"Chinese innovation keeps getting stronger—even Europe is using our products now."
"Hope it’s affordable enough to be used in residential parking lots."
As the EV revolution accelerates, safety cannot be overlooked. SUNTEX’s innovation not only showcases China’s technological prowess but also provides a "Chinese solution" for global EV fire safety. With further advancements and policy support, such fireproofing systems may soon become industry standard—making transportation safer for all.
