The science of lithium fires.

Q: Why can't a standard fire blanket stop a lithium fire?

Standard blankets are designed for conventional fires and typically fail at ~500°C. A lithium battery in thermal runaway can exceed 1,000°C almost instantly, melting traditional fibres and rendering them useless.

Q: Can a lithium battery ignite even when it isn’t charging?

Yes. Internal cell defects, physical damage, or chemical degradation can trigger a thermal runaway event at any time—whether the device is plugged in or sitting on a shelf.

Q: What exactly is "Thermal Runaway"?

It is an unstoppable chemical chain reaction where a battery cell enters an uncontrollable self-heating state. This leads to violent explosions, high-velocity flame jets, and the release of highly toxic, flammable gases

Engineered protection (Fire Blasta).

Q: Why does Fire Blasta use a metal zipper instead of Velcro?

Because Velcro melts. Fabric or hook-and-loop closures fail rapidly under extreme heat, allowing oxygen to rush in and feed the fire. Our fire-rated metal zippers stay structurally secure even during the intense thermal shock of a lithium outbreak.

Q: Do I really need to zip the pouch fully closed?

Yes, always. A fully sealed metal zipper is the only way to maintain containment, restrict oxygen intake, and properly manage the venting of toxic fumes.

Q: Can I store multiple devices or powerbanks in one pouch?

No. Store only one device per pouch. If one battery fails, the proximity of other cells can cause a rapid "domino effect" escalation that may exceed the containment limits of a single pouch.

Authority & Trust.

Q: Is Fire Blasta an Australian company?

Yes. We are Australian owned and engineered. Our products were developed in response to a real-world lithium tragedy in Brisbane, ensuring our technology is fit for the high safety standards of the Australian market.

Q: Why is the EVM Blanket rated higher than the consumer pouches?

Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries represent a much larger fuel load. While a phone might hit 1,000°C, an EV battery can sustain extreme heat for hours. The EVM Blanket is engineered for 1,600°C to provide a professional-grade barrier capable of protecting entire structures from vehicle fires.
