590B88 - Tillman 590B 8x8 Gold Acrylic Coated Fiberglass Welding Blanket

Tillman 590B 8x8 Gold Acrylic Coated Fiberglass Welding Blanket

The Tillman 590B 8x8 Welding Blanket is a premier safety solution designed for professional industrial environments where protection against sparks, spatter, and abrasion is paramount. Manufactured by Tillman, a leader in welding safety gear, this blanket is constructed from high-quality fiberglass that has been treated with a specialized gold acrylic coating. This 24 oz per square yard material is widely recognized as the most popular general-purpose welding blanket specification in the industry, offering a reliable barrier between hazardous welding byproducts and valuable equipment or personnel.

One of the defining characteristics of the 590B series is its acrylic coating. Unlike raw fiberglass, which can shed fibers and cause skin irritation, the gold acrylic treatment locks the fibers in place. This not only makes the blanket cleaner and easier to handle but also enhances its durability against physical wear and tear. The coating provides an additional layer of resistance against oils and liquids, extending the lifespan of the blanket in harsh shop environments. With dimensions of 8 feet by 8 feet, this blanket provides 64 square feet of coverage, making it substantial enough to serve as a curtain, a drape over machinery, or a floor cover in welding bays.

This product is specifically engineered to handle the rigors of light to medium-duty welding applications. It excels at deflecting sparks and resisting small amounts of molten spatter that would otherwise damage surfaces or ignite combustible materials. While it is designed primarily for spark and spatter protection, its abrasion-resistant qualities also make it an excellent choice for covering jagged or rough components during transport or storage. The Tillman 590B represents a cost-effective yet high-performance investment in workplace safety, ensuring compliance with safety standards while maintaining operational efficiency.

For facility managers and procurement specialists, the Tillman 590B offers a versatile stock item that covers a wide range of safety needs. Its proven track record in the field and the reputation of the Tillman brand ensure that this blanket performs consistently, reducing the frequency of replacements and minimizing downtime caused by safety incidents.
