What material is a fireproof blanket made of? Which is better, silicone or fiberglass

Abstract: Fireproof blanket is a fire-fighting equipment used for fire prevention, which can isolate heat sources and flames. Fireproof blanket mainly relies on its material for fire prevention. It is made of flame-retardant fiber fabric, and its main material is refractory fiber, including amorphous (glassy state) and polycrystalline (crystalline state). The common fire blankets on the market mainly include silicone fire blankets and fiberglass fire blankets. There is not much difference in their functions, mainly because silicone fire blankets are not as prickly as fiberglass fire blankets and are more expensive. Let's learn together what material fireproof blankets are usually made of.

1、 What is a fireproof blanket

Fireproof blanket, also known as fire blanket or fire blanket, is a type of blanket used in firefighting. It mainly serves to isolate heat sources and flames, and can be used to extinguish oil pot fires or to cover oneself for escape. Fire blankets are mainly used in enterprises, shopping malls, ships, automobiles, civil buildings and other places to prevent the spread of fire and protect evacuation.

2、 What material is a fireproof blanket usually made of

The fireproof blanket plays a role in fire prevention mainly by relying on the material itself. So what is the material of the fireproof blanket?

The fireproof blanket is made of flame-retardant fiber fabric processed by special techniques, which has a tight organizational structure and high temperature resistance, and can effectively prevent or isolate combustion. Its main material is refractory fiber, which has the characteristics of general fibers, as well as high temperature and corrosion resistance that general fibers do not have. Therefore, it can be used as a refractory insulation material.

Refractory fibers are generally divided into two categories: amorphous (glassy) and polycrystalline (crystalline). Amorphous refractory fibers include alumina silicate, high-purity alumina silicate, chromium containing alumina silicate, and high alumina refractory fibers. Polycrystalline refractory fibers, including mullite fibers, alumina fibers, and zirconia fibers.

3、 Which is better, silicone or fiberglass fire blanket

There are many materials for fire blankets, which can be roughly divided into silicone fire blankets and fiberglass fire blankets. So which of these two materials is better?

In fact, there is not much difference in functionality between using silicone or fiberglass fire blankets. The main reason is that fiberglass is a bit difficult to handle, while silicone is not. In terms of price, silicone is a bit higher, either one can be chosen. Of course, if conditions permit, silicone fire blankets are better.
