Sabafer is the exclusive importer for Italy of Bridgehill fire blankets, an innovative product that allows for timely intervention in the event of fires caused by battery combustion. Thanks to these blankets, made with aerospace-derived materials, it is therefore possible to avoid potentially catastrophic consequences, especially if they occur in closed spaces, such as warehouses, underground car parks and ferries.
From electric or hybrid cars to forklifts, Bridgehill fire blankets are the fastest, simplest and safest way to contain and extinguish this type of fire. This product is currently the only concrete solution for working safely with lithium batteries and electric vehicles, as water and fire extinguishers are in no way effective in the event of a fire caused by lithium batteries.
It should also be taken into account that this type of fire reaches higher temperatures than a “classic” fire, and releases fumes that are highly toxic to human health and the environment: thanks to Bridgehill blankets, it will be possible to contain these toxic fumes and significantly shield the heat emitted, preventing it from hitting nearby vehicles or structures, thus causing a potentially disastrous chain reaction.
This product is currently the only solution capable of effectively managing fires in electric and hybrid vehicles, but not only that: the blankets are equally effective even if applied to a thermal vehicle, thus avoiding the use of water to put out the flames. On average, to put out a fire on a thermal vehicle, 2,000 to 3,000 liters of water are needed.
