Intumescent one layer structure for high performance fire protection

Focus on battery safety

Lithium-ion batteries pose particular risks: A so-called thermal runaway can lead to intense heat, flames, smoke, and toxic gases within seconds. Rapid, safe containment is crucial, especially for electric vehicles, e-scooters, and e-bikes in underground garages, residential complexes, charging and parking stations, or stationary storage facilities. In workshops, test laboratories, or transport vehicles, our fabric helps to limit battery fires.

Technical textiles for fire containment blankets

• Material: High-quality glass or silicate fabric with special functionalization
• Temperature resistance: Permanent up to 550 °C, short-term > 1,000 °C
• Suppresses flame spread and protects adjacent objects
• Reduces heat transfer to the outside
• Non-combustible, flame-retardant, and spark-resistant
• Minimizes smoke and gas release into the environment

Proven technology from aviation

Fire containment covers (FCCs) made from similar glass fabrics have been used in air traffic control for years. These covers serve to isolate burning cargo on board aircraft for 6 hours, giving the flight crew valuable time to make a safe landing. Our expertise in developing such FCCs flows directly into the manufacture of our fire containment blankets. As a result, you benefit from:

• Aviation-proven materials with maximum safety
• Proven technologies for controlled fire containment
• Internationally recognized standards in the field of fire containment

Efficiency meets safety

In industrial high-temperature environments, every degree counts. As a leading manufacturer of technical textiles for heat and flame protection applications, we supply tailor-made insulation solutions that perform where standard materials have long since reached their limits.

Our highly specialized fabrics made of glass fiber, silicate, and aramid offer reliable protection well above 1000°C – in metal processing, thermal plants, power plants, foundries, and mechanical engineering. Whether as flexible insulation mats, custom-made protective covers, or removable valve insulation, our textiles combine maximum thermal performance with mechanical resilience and ease of use.

Technical textiles are often used as thermal insulators, especially at high temperatures.

Applications

• Pipe and plant insulation: Textile-coated insulation mats (e.g., made of glass fiber, silicate, aramid) prevent heat loss from heating pipes, furnaces, or turbines, sound insulation.
• Cable sheathing with heat- and tension-resistant textiles (e.g., glass silk with silicone).
• Welding curtains & heat shields: Protection in welding halls, foundries, and metal processing.
• Heat-resistant jackets: Removable insulating covers for valves, pumps, flanges – facilitate maintenance and save energy

Advantages of technical textiles in insulation

• High temperature resistance – ideal for continuous use in industrial environments
• Excellent thermal insulation properties combined with low material weight
• Resistance to chemicals, moisture, and UV radiation
• Flexibility and easy processing
• Adaptability to complex shapes

Rely on innovative insulation solutions – made for extremes.

Proven quality, next-level performance

Our proven Sestonit® fabric with special treatment has long been the go-to material for high-temperature applications. Whether for chimney and furnace insulation, gas turbines, foundries, or the automotive industry, Sestonit® delivers reliable performance wherever extreme heat demands it.

The new generation, Sestonext, takes performance to the next level:

• Short-term use up to 1,300 °C (4 hours)

• Increased strength while maintaining a textile feel

• Residual strength of about 20 % at 105 N/cm

Building on the trusted quality of Sestonit, Sestonext combines enhanced thermal performance with a proven textile character, enabling even more demanding applications at the highest temperatures.

Textile shields for the future of fire protection

Smoke curtains and fire curtains are key components of preventive fire protection. They serve to create fire and smoke compartments in buildings and protect people, property, as well as escape and rescue routes. As a manufacturer of technical high-temperature fabrics made from, among others, glass fibers, we provide the
foundation for innovative fire protection systems – high-temperature-resistant, tested materials that comply with the required fire resistance classes. Optimized weaves and advanced coatings support modern, efficient fire protection systems (E, EW, EI). Lighter and more adaptable than steel, fire curtains integrate seamlessly into contemporary architecture, meeting the demand for flexible, discreet fire protection.

Possible Certifications

A large selection of our fabrics meet the European requirements for fire protection and are certified in accordance with DIN EN 13501 for the fire classification of construction products and building elements: A2-s1, d0 (also MO, M1)
