FB-024-0510 - Agotex 600 High-Temp Welding Blanket, 18oz, 5' x 10'

Technical Overview: Agotex 600 Fire Blanket

The FB-024-0510 is a high-performance industrial fire blanket manufactured from Agotex, a specialized 18oz texturized fiberglass material. Designed for rigorous thermal environments, this 5' x 10' blanket provides a robust barrier against heat, sparks, and molten spatter. The fabric is engineered with a proprietary coating on one side, which significantly enhances its mechanical properties, including abrasion resistance and structural integrity under thermal stress.

Technically, Agotex 600 is rated for continuous exposure to temperatures up to 1100°F (593°C) and can withstand higher intermittent temperature spikes. Conversely, it maintains stability in extreme cold, rated down to -100°F. The material exhibits high dielectric strength, making it suitable for electrical isolation applications, and offers broad chemical resistance against most acids, alkalies, and solvents. This makes it a versatile solution for complex industrial MRO environments where multiple hazards are present.

The blanket serves as a superior alternative to legacy asbestos products, providing equivalent or better thermal insulation without the associated health risks. Its woven structure ensures flexibility, allowing it to be used as a drape, curtain, or wrap for stress-relieving applications. The safety red coloration ensures high visibility in busy shop environments, adhering to safety protocols for hazardous area demarcation.
