OVERVIEW

Extreme Heat Protection for Industrial Environments

The FB-020-0507 Weld Blanket is a premium-grade safety accessory designed for the most demanding industrial environments. Engineered with 23oz Weld Flex material, this blanket is specifically treated to enhance its ability to shed molten metal splash, a critical feature for operations involving heavy welding, gouging, or furnace work. Unlike standard untreated fiberglass blankets that may degrade or trap hot slag, the Weld Flex surface encourages molten material to slide off, preventing burn-through and extending the lifespan of the protective barrier.

This 5-foot by 7-foot blanket offers exceptional thermal resistance, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 3000°F when positioned on a 15° to 20° incline. This specific orientation rating highlights its efficacy in deflecting extreme heat and slag rather than absorbing it directly. The material's robust 23-ounce weight provides a dense, durable shield that effectively blocks sparks, spatter, and radiant heat, ensuring the safety of personnel and the integrity of surrounding equipment.

Despite its heavy-duty protective capabilities, the Weld Flex blanket remains remarkably soft and pliable. This flexibility allows maintenance teams and welders to easily drape the blanket over irregularly shaped machinery, valuable components, or flammable materials without struggling with stiffness or rigidity. Whether used as a curtain, a drape, or a floor cover, the FB-020-0507 delivers reliable, high-performance protection in sectors ranging from shipbuilding and construction to heavy fabrication and foundry work.

FAQ

The blanket is rated to withstand temperatures up to 3000°F when placed on a 15° to 20° incline, allowing it to shed molten splash effectively.

It is made of 'Weld Flex', a specialized 23oz treated fiberglass material designed to be soft, pliable, and resistant to molten metal adhesion.

The Weld Flex material is designed to be soft and pliable, making it easy to drape over uneven objects and machinery.

Yes, it can be used vertically as a curtain or shield, though its 3000°F rating is specifically cited for inclined shedding of molten metal.

No, modern welding blankets like the Weld Flex are typically made from treated fiberglass or silica-based materials and are asbestos-free.

The material weight is 23 ounces per square yard, classifying it as a heavy-duty industrial blanket.

Yes, a 23oz blanket is very effective at stopping grinding sparks, slag, and heavy spatter.

Cutting fiberglass blankets is generally not recommended as it can fray the edges and compromise the integrity of the fabric. It is best to fold it to the desired size.
