The Laboratory Fire Protection category supports laboratories that need to reduce exposure to chemical, biological, particulate, thermal and physical hazards during routine work and emergency response. The range spans routine bench requirements and more specialised applications where material choice, control and repeatability become especially important.
PPE and safety products must match the identified hazard, because general-purpose protection may be unsuitable for a specific chemical, exposure route or task. The practical choice therefore depends on fit and coverage, inspection requirements, replacement and storage, and identified hazard, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
Risk assessment comes first, followed by selection of suitable engineering controls, PPE, emergency equipment, inspection routines and replacement intervals. When each stage is matched correctly, laboratories in research, clinical, education, manufacturing, field and service laboratories can work more consistently and manage changeovers, replenishment and maintenance with fewer interruptions. As part of the Laboratory Safety & PPE range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Laboratory Fire Protection range
Our collection covers a dedicated fire blanket container necessary, these blankets large enough for clothing fires, material is used in laboratory fire blankets, and a fire blanket be reused after a fire, giving laboratories practical choices for routine work and more specialised applications.
A dedicated fire blanket container necessary
Steel containers, like the JT5000LB, protect the fire blanket from laboratory contaminants, moisture, and physical damage, ensuring the blanket remains in optimal condition and can be deployed instantly. When comparing options, consider fit and coverage, inspection requirements, and replacement and storage. The correct choice should fit the sample, expected workload and any equipment already used in the method. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
These blankets large enough for clothing fires
The standard size of 1800x1600mm provided by brands like W.Söhngen is specifically designed to be large enough to wrap around a person or cover a typical laboratory bench spill. Before ordering, compare inspection requirements, replacement and storage, and identified hazard. A product that fits the complete workflow will generally be easier to validate, maintain and reorder. This is especially valuable when teams need to support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. Consistent handling also reduces the risk of variation between batches or operators.
Material is used in laboratory fire blankets
Most professional fire blankets, such as those from JUTEC and W.Söhngen, are made from high-grade glass fibre, which is non-combustible and capable of withstanding the high temperatures found in laboratory fires. The most suitable format depends on replacement and storage, identified hazard, and protection rating or intended use. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Within the wider method, these products help laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. They should be reviewed together with associated consumables, accessories and cleaning requirements.
A fire blanket be reused after a fire
Generally, fire blankets are intended for one-time use. Once exposed to fire or extreme heat, the fibre structure may be compromised, so it is recommended to replace the blanket immediately after an incident. The most suitable format depends on identified hazard, protection rating or intended use, and material compatibility. Laboratories should also confirm how the product will be prepared, used, cleaned or disposed of between runs. Used correctly, this part of the range helps laboratories support practical risk controls without making routine laboratory work unnecessarily difficult. The result is a setup that is easier to train, document and maintain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a dedicated fire blanket container necessary?
Steel containers, like the JT5000LB, protect the fire blanket from laboratory contaminants, moisture, and physical damage, ensuring the blanket remains in optimal condition and can be deployed instantly. For fire protection, also check protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage so the product fits the complete procedure.
Are these blankets large enough for clothing fires?
The standard size of 1800x1600mm provided by brands like W.Söhngen is specifically designed to be large enough to wrap around a person or cover a typical laboratory bench spill. Before ordering, confirm protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
What material is used in laboratory fire blankets?
Most professional fire blankets, such as those from JUTEC and W.Söhngen, are made from high-grade glass fibre, which is non-combustible and capable of withstanding the high temperatures found in laboratory fires. For fire protection, also check protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage so the product fits the complete procedure.
Can a fire blanket be reused after a fire?
Generally, fire blankets are intended for one-time use. Once exposed to fire or extreme heat, the fibre structure may be compromised, so it is recommended to replace the blanket immediately after an incident. Before ordering, confirm protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage and any accessories or consumables needed for routine use.
How do I choose the right fire protection for my laboratory?
The most important points are protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, fit and coverage, and inspection requirements. Laboratories should also consider how the item will be stored, prepared, cleaned and replaced over its working life. Laboratories should compare protection rating or intended use, material compatibility, and fit and coverage and document the selected setup for consistent use.
