Air-activated thermal blankets are an advanced type of emergency blanket that generate heat when exposed to air. Unlike traditional space blankets, which primarily reflect body heat, these blankets actively produce warmth through a chemical reaction, similar to air-activated hand warmers.
Air-activated thermal blankets are particularly useful in extreme cold conditions where passive heat retention is not enough. They are used in:
1. Disaster Relief & Humanitarian Aid
- Given to earthquake, hurricane, or flood survivors in cold climates.
- Used in homeless shelters to help those exposed to winter temperatures.
2. Outdoor & Survival Situations
- Ideal for mountaineering, winter camping, and Arctic expeditions.
- Used by hikers, skiers, and campers in remote locations.
3. Emergency & Medical Applications
- Helps prevent hypothermia in trauma patients before hospital treatment.
- Used in ambulances, military field hospitals, and survival kits.
4. Military & Tactical Use
- Used in cold-weather operations where soldiers need extra warmth without carrying heavy gear.
In addition, compared with the traditional Thermal Blanket, it has the following advantages:
- Provides Active Heat – Warms up the body instead of just reflecting heat.
- Long-Lasting Warmth – Some blankets provide heat for 6-12 hours.
- Still Lightweight & Compact – Easy to store in emergency kits.
Air-activated Thermal Blanket is constantly expanding its market and is being paid attention to by more and more fields. If you are interested, please contact us for further information jean@jshanyao.com
