A fireproof cloak is a protective device specially designed for fire escape and extinguishing. Its main function is to help users protect their own safety in a fire through its flame-retardant, heat-insulating and high-temperature resistant properties. The following is a detailed introduction to the fireproof cloak:
1. Material and performance
Fireproof cloaks are usually made of materials such as silicone coating and glass fiber, and they have properties such as high-temperature resistance, flame retardancy and heat insulation.
2. Main functions
Fire prevention and extinguishing: Fireproof cloaks can not only block flames but also put out small-scale fires by cutting off oxygen.
Escape protection: In a fire, thick smoke is one of the fatal threats. Fireproof cloaks can be used in conjunction with smoke masks to prevent inhalation of harmful gases and increase the success rate of escape.
3. Design features
Full-body protection: Fireproof cloaks are usually designed as full-body drapes, covering the head, body and limbs, providing comprehensive protection [12].
Reflective strips: Some products are equipped with reflective strips on the back, which facilitate detection by rescue personnel in dark or smoky environments [13].
Lightweight and portable: Modern fireproof cloaks are designed to be lightweight, easy to carry and quickly put on. For instance, some products weigh only 0.6 kilograms [16].
4. Applicable scenarios
Household fire: Suitable for homes, hotels, office buildings and other places, helping people escape quickly in case of fire.
In industrial environments such as spot welding, welding, and laboratories, fireproof cloaks can be used as fire-fighting tools.
High-rise buildings: In high-rise building fires, fireproof cloaks can help people evacuate safely in thick smoke and high temperatures.
