FB-021-0505 - 5' x 5' Carbon Felt Welding Blanket & Heat Shield (16 oz)

High-Performance Thermal Protection for Industrial Applications

The FB-021-0505 Safety Blanket is a premium thermal barrier engineered from advanced organic carbon fiber. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO), this 5-foot by 5-foot blanket provides exceptional protection against extreme heat, sparks, and molten spatter. Unlike traditional fiberglass materials that can be stiff and brittle, carbon felt offers a unique combination of high thermal resistance and physical flexibility, making it an indispensable tool for professionals in plumbing, HVAC, and metal fabrication.

At the core of this safety blanket is its impressive temperature tolerance. It is rated to withstand continuous operating temperatures of 1800°F, with the capability to endure short-term excursions up to 2500°F. This makes it highly effective for shielding flammable materials, machinery, and structural components during brazing, soldering, and light welding processes. The material is inherently non-flammable and non-melting; instead of dripping or shrinking under heat, it maintains its structural integrity, ensuring a consistent barrier between the heat source and the protected surface.

Chemical Resistance and Durability

Beyond its thermal properties, the carbon felt construction offers excellent resistance to a wide range of industrial chemicals and solvents. This durability ensures that the blanket remains effective even in harsh shop environments where exposure to oils, coolants, and cleaning agents is common. The 16oz weight provides a substantial barrier without being overly heavy, allowing for easy deployment and repositioning.

Versatile Application

The blanket's soft, felt-like texture allows it to be easily manipulated into tight spaces, such as behind wall cavities during pipe sweating or around complex machinery parts. Its insulating properties significantly reduce heat transfer, preventing scorching or heat damage to adjacent areas. Whether used as a vertical shield, a floor cover, or a wrapping material, the FB-021-0505 delivers reliable, professional-grade protection.
