For many types of isolated fires, smothering is an effective suppression technique, except if a lithium-ion battery is burning. Then, a LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket from Sea-Fire Marine is what's needed. The product is specifically engineered to withstand extremely high temperatures for prolonged periods as well as contain expelled debris and shrapnel commonly encountered with lithium-ion battery fires.

The LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is incapable of igniting. Independently tested and verified for prolonged direct flame contact and use at temperatures up to 1,400 degrees C / 2,552 degrees F. Reusable, it's ideal for refractory flame deflection and suppressing multiple lithium-ion battery fires.

Foldable and easy to store, the LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is manufactured using a fully oxidized woven fabric with a high silica glass fiber content. Integrated handling loops make the device simple to deploy.

Sea-Fire's LiCELL SB Series Fire Blanket is offered in four sizes: SB06 is 1.8m x 1.8m, SB09 is 2.7m x 2.7m, SB12 is 3.6m x 3.6m and, ideal for electric vehicle fires, SBEV is 5.8m x 7.9m. Each includes a storage carry bag. For handheld lithium-ion-powered device fires, Sea-Fire Marine offers a range of AVD Fire Suppression Kits.

LiCELL is a fire protection technologies company specializing in lithium battery fire solutions. Sea-Fire Marine, under license and agreement with LiCELL, supplies the marine market.
