Fire Resistant Towels and Blankets
Our fire resistant towels and blankets (also known as Duvetyn) are made out of heavy 16 ounce commando” grade cotton fabric that has a brushed finish on one side and smooth on the ther. These materials meet California State Fire Marshal Reg. #F-48905F and is commonly used in the entertainment industry. Used to smother flame, these towels and blankets are a must for any fire performer. A great alternative to carrying around damp towels which heat very easily and can cause steam burns.
Available Sizes:
Towel: 27” (680mm) x 36” (900mm) – great for putting out small wicks such as poi.
Blanket: 36” (900mm) x 54” (1370mm) – ideal for larger tools such as fans and swords.
Note: Washing these towels and blankets will remove their fire resistance. Even if the fabric resists burning, the fuel vapors on the fabric can still ignite. Excess fuel may build up on a towel that has been used several times in a row, so allow time for the towel or blanket to dry out before trying to re-use it.
