Lifespan Of A Fire Blanket
Sep 18, 2025
The lifespan of a fire blanket varies depending on the material and storage conditions:
• Traditional fiberglass or ceramic fiber fire blankets: They can be reused if used properly and are free of damage or oil stains. While there's no theoretical expiration date, annual inspection is recommended.
• Perfluorohexanone automatic fire blankets: They typically have a service life of 10 years and require replacement after each use.
Storage: Avoid high temperatures, humidity, or chemically corrosive environments, as these will shorten their lifespan.
Precautions:
Fire blankets are not washable and must be kept dry after use.
