As important as the work at hand is the safety that you need to provide to the surrounding area and people. When the work includes welding, torch cutting, and other high risk industrial work, the stakes are even greater in protecting the things and individuals nearby. With a wide assortment of materials, levels of heat protection, and special features Your Safety is Covered with Welding Blankets.
From the general purpose applications of lower temperature resistance of 300 ° F with Acrylic Coated Fiberglass up to super high resistance of 1800 ° F with Silica Fabric, there is a Welding Blanket for every application in the plant, shop, or in the field.
The following are the popular Welding Blanket products and specialty fabrics available:
Acrylic Coated Fiberglass Welding Blankets (300 ° F) - A general purpose welding fabric, Acrylic Coated Fiberglass Welding Blankets with a material weight of 17 ounces (oz.) per square yard are common for light duty applications. With a maximum temperature resistance of 300 ° F, it can be used as a vertical curtain to provide protection from grinding and sparks as well as being a flame retardant and an arc flash barrier. It is not to be utilized as stress relief.
Silicone Fiberglass Welding Blankets (500 ° F) - Constructed from fiberglass material with silicone rubber, these blankets are very flexible allowing insulation for temperatures and electricity up to 500 ° F along with resisting oil, water, and puncturing. Available in both 17 oz. and 32 oz. material weights, the Silicone Fiberglass Welding Blankets are great as fire blankets, equipment covers, welding curtains, insulation covers, and heat shields. They also meet Mil-Y-1140C military specifications.
Gold Slag Fiberglass Welding Blankets (1000 ° F) - This is one of the more popular welding blankets as it delivers excellent heat resistance up to 1000 ° F along with resisting abrasion. Positioned at a 45 ° angle, this cover will shield against molten splatter, grinding, and sparks. It is not recommended to use horizontally. Gold Slag Fiberglass Welding Blankets are hick at 35 Mil with a material weight of 24 oz.
Aluminized Fiberglass Welding Blankets (1000 ° F / 300 ° F) - The Aluminized Fiberglass Welding Blankets provide a double feature with their two sides. The fiberglass side handles temperatures up to 1000 ° F as it is abrasion, solvent, acid, and alkali (not hydrofluoric acid) resistant. The aluminum side provides heat reflection protection for temperatures up to 300 ° F. The 35 Mil thick material consists 18 oz fiberglass material along with a thin layer of aluminum foil. These blankets are ideal as flange and vapor shields as well as removable insulation pads.
Heat Treated Fiberglass Welding Blankets (1100 ° F) - Offered in two material weights of 18 oz. (35 Mil thick) and 35 oz. (80 Mil), Heat Treated Fiberglass Welding Blankets are both an economical and secure option as welding blankets, welding and industrial curtains, egress blankets, and heat shields protecting up to temperatures of 1100 ° F delivering against vertical splatter and sparks while resisting most solvents and acids.
Black Slag Fiberglass Welding Blankets (1100 ° F) - A Black Slag Fiberglass Welding Blanket is an excellent protector for tough welding tasks. The 40 Mil thick, 21 oz material helps resist against temperatures up to 1100 ° F. In addition, if it lies at a 25 ° or larger angle, it will shed molten splatter with temperatures topping 3000 ° F. It also shields against sparks and is ideal as welding curtains, welding blankets, and welding screens. This cover is not to be utilized for stress relief or heat treating.
Vermiculite Fiberglass Welding Blankets (1500 ° F) - The proprietary formula and specially treated silica fabric generates a material that is resistant to continuous high temperatures of 1500 ° F and even up to 2000 ° F for short periods of time. Vermiculite Fiberglass Welding Blankets are most often used as welding blankets, welding curtains, heat shields, drop cloths, and gaskets. Utilized in vertical positions, it protects against grindings, sparks, sand blasting, and heat treating. The blankets come in two material weights, 20 oz. (35 Mil thick) and 27 oz. (60 Mil).
Silica Welding Blankets (1800 ° F) - Silica Welding Blankets are crafted from high temperature material that creates the highest resistance (1800 ° F) to heat and chemicals. This fabric meets the military specifications of both MIL-C-24576A and MIL-1-24244C as well as being FM approved meeting ANSI 4950 specs. These are ideal for welding blankets, welding curtains, welding screens, furnace curtains, and in other applications that need high temperature resistance. Silica Welding Blankets come in either a 27 Mil thick fabric with a material weight of 18 oz. per square yard or 60 Mil at 36 oz.
Welding Blanket Fabric by the Yard and Roll - The material that these Welding Blanket products are made from are available in desired Yard lengths and by the Roll.. The availability of fabric that includes Heat Treated Fiberglass, Black Slag, Vermiculite, and Silica and Aluminum Fiberglass allows you to use the various temperature resistant materials for your projects and other needs.
