Prevent burns, fight fires – with KAGER’s smart safety solutions

Preventing Burns and Fighting Fires: KAGER’s Smart Solutions for Workplace Safety

Innovative protection against heat and fire – from warning labels to fire containment blankets

In modern occupational safety, heat protection and fire prevention are becoming increasingly important. KAGER, a German trading and consulting company specializing in high-temperature technology, offers a wide range of practical solutions for both prevention and emergency protection – including self-adhesive warning labels, pneumatic cold air curtains, and fire containment blankets (BBD).
All products are designed for easy use and contribute to safe, ergonomic, and heat-protected workplaces across industry and trade.

Visual Warning Against Burn Hazards

KAGER’s Hot-Hand Indicator and Large Traffic Light labels provide instant visual alerts wherever there is a risk of burns – such as in foundries or glass processing.

  • The Hot-Hand Indicator turns red above 50 °C, warning users of hot surfaces.
  • The Large Traffic Light changes from green (up to 50 °C) to yellow (up to 70 °C) and finally red, indicating increasing danger.

Both labels are reversible, reusable, and language-independent, offering a simple yet highly effective tool for burn prevention.

Invisible Protection: The Line-Blow Cold Air Curtain The Line-Blow from KAGER creates a thin, dry air curtain that protects workers from heat, smoke, dust, and abrasion. Connected to a compressed air system, it acts as an invisible barrier – ideal for use in industrial environments, laboratories, or cleanrooms where both safety and technical cleanliness are key.

Immediate Response to Battery Fires

The Fire Containment Blanket (BBD) is KAGER’s rapid-response tool for battery incidents and E-Mobility applications. It helps limit damage and prevent fire spread during lithium-ion battery failures.

Made from non-combustible, high-temperature fabric with vermiculite coating, the blanket withstands up to 1,300 °C, remains non-conductive, and allows the use of sprinkler or extinguishing water.
Available in multiple formats – from compact car versions to professional emergency kits – it’s an essential part of any fire safety concept.

Conclusion

KAGER’s solutions combine prevention, protection, and performance – ensuring safety where heat and fire are constant risks. Whether through visual warnings, invisible air barriers, or fire blankets, KAGER helps companies protect people, processes, and property.

Effective Emergency Response to Battery Incidents: Kager’s Fire Containment Blankets

Kager expands its portfolio with high-temperature-resistant fire containment blankets for e-mobility

Kager, a specialist in high-temperature solutions, now offers an innovative safety solution for combating battery fires: high-temperature-resistant fire containment blankets (FCBs). Designed specifically for use in e-mobility, these advanced blankets provide an immediate response to mitigate damage caused by lithium-ion battery incidents.

Why Fire Containment Blankets Are Essential for Lithium-Ion Batteries

Lithium-ion batteries have become the leading energy storage solution for electric vehicles (EVs), e-bikes, e-scooters, and numerous electronic devices. Despite ongoing safety improvements, thermal issues with these batteries can still lead to fires.

Overheating of a single battery cell can trigger a chain reaction known as a thermal runaway. This process generates toxic gases, intense flames, and extreme temperatures exceeding 1,300 °C. In such cases, Kager’s fire containment blankets offer a quick, effective solution to control and suppress fires.

Durable and Reliable: Key Features of Kager’s Fire Containment Blankets

Kager’s fire containment blankets are made of a high-temperature-resistant fabric with double-sided vermiculite coating. Key benefits include:

  • High Heat Resistance: Effective for fires up to 1,300 °C, with a melting point of 1,600 °C.
  • Durability: Unlike glass fiber blankets, Kager’s FCBs remain intact under extreme thermal conditions without fiber breakage.
  • Gas Permeability: Prevents ballooning while allowing the use of water or sprinkler systems for fire suppression.
  • Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to various chemicals.
  • Easy Handling: Reinforced corners with loops, double-stitched seams, and steel thread make the blankets robust and user-friendly.

The standard fabric thickness is 0.7 mm, with a weight of 625 g/m². For higher safety demands, Kager also offers an option with double fabric thickness.

Three Practical Variants for Different Applications

To meet the diverse requirements of e-mobility, Kager provides its fire containment blankets in three versatile configurations:

  1. Compact Version for EV Owners: Folded in a red carry bag, ideal for keeping in electric cars for emergencies.
  2. Mobile Solution for First Responders: Supplied with a trolley, perfect for firefighters and technical relief organizations (e.g., THW).
  3. Stationary Setup: Includes a metal cabinet, heat-resistant gloves, and optional respiratory and eye protection, making it suitable for workshops, parking garages, and service stations.

The blankets are available in sizes ranging from 3 x 4 meters to 6 x 8 meters.

Minimizing Damage During Battery Fires

Kager’s fire containment blankets are an effective emergency response tool for managing lithium-ion battery fires. Their rapid deployment significantly reduces the risk of fire spreading, protects first responders, and helps avoid costly collateral damage.

Conclusion: With these advanced fire containment blankets, Kager sets a new benchmark in fire safety and e-mobility protection.
