SUNSEEKER FIRE BLANKET

>> The SUNSEEKER FIRE BLANKET is a new type of fire shelter that can be used to save lives as well as protect homes and places of business. It is created from a ceramic fiber material that does not burn and can withstand heat up to 2,500°F. In greater temperatures, the blanket melts rather than burns without emitting any smoke or fumes and is completely water resistant. Also, the material possesses the advantages of low-heat storage and complete resistance to thermal shock. The SunSeeker Fire Blanket incorporates the same technology that NASA uses on its spacecrafts to handle the searing heat of atmospheric reentry. www.sunseekerfireblanket.com.
