How does a foil blanket help in emergency situations?
The foil blanket is made from Mylar, an ultra-insulating material constructed from polyester film with a vaporised metallic coating on both sides which reflects radiated heat back to the user. The first aid blanket reflects radiated heat back to the user, helping to retain body heat and potentially prevent hypothermia in survival emergencies.
Is a foil blanket effective in wet conditions?
Foil blankets are also effective in wet conditions and can be paired with traditional fabric blankets to enhance warmth and survival.
How should a foil blanket be used for maximum effectiveness?
To use the foil blanket in an emergency, wrap the foil blanket closely around the body, and make sure that any gaps where body heat may be lost are sealed. This maximises the amount of heat stored within the shock blanket and gives the best protection against cold conditions. We also supply survival equipment for outdoor survival in inclement weather.
Is a emergency foil blanket reusable?
This foil blanket is made to be single use, and should be disposed of after use. While the space blanket could be folded and stored after use, it could lose full effectiveness with repeated use. For optimal safety and performance, it is recommended to use a new space blanket for each use.
Do the space blanket have an expiry date?
The space blanket does not have an expiry date, however, they should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, for example in a first aid kit.
How is a foil blanket packaged?
Each foil blanket is individually wrapped in a plastic pouch, which makes it not only highly compact, but very easy to store in a first aid kit, vehicle, or emergency supplies. Mylar blankets are an excellent, and important addition to any first aid kit.
