PW24B810 - 8x10 Heavy Duty Acrylic Fiberglass Welding Blanket 24oz

Heavy-Duty Thermal Protection for Industrial Environments

The Pearl PW24B810 is a premium-grade welding blanket designed to meet the rigorous safety demands of professional fabrication shops and industrial maintenance environments. Measuring 8 feet by 10 feet, this blanket provides substantial coverage area, making it an excellent choice for draping over large machinery, protecting flammable inventory, or establishing vertical safety partitions between workstations. The core of this safety device is a robust fiberglass weave, boasting a weight of 24 ounces per square yard. This density ensures a high level of thermal resistance and physical durability, capable of withstanding the impact of sparks, light spatter, and intermittent heat exposure common in MIG and TIG welding operations.

A defining technical feature of this blanket is its acrylic coating. Unlike raw fiberglass, which can shed fibers that cause skin irritation and respiratory discomfort, the acrylic treatment encapsulates the fibers. This not only improves the handling characteristics for the operator—making it 'itch-free'—but also enhances the material's resistance to abrasion, oil, and water. The coating provides a stiff hand, allowing the blanket to maintain its shape when hung as a curtain, yet it remains flexible enough to drape over irregular objects. The base fiberglass material is rated for temperatures up to 1000°F, providing a reliable barrier against radiant heat and incidental contact with hot materials.

Structurally, the PW24B810 is built for longevity. All four edges are securely hemmed to prevent fraying, a common failure point in lower-quality alternatives. Heavy-duty brass grommets are installed at regular intervals along the perimeter, facilitating easy suspension from frames, hooks, or wire cables. This versatility allows the blanket to function as a static shield or a movable curtain depending on the immediate requirements of the workspace. Whether used for stress relief in pre-heating applications or simply as a spark containment device, this 24 oz acrylic fiberglass blanket represents a critical investment in workplace safety and asset protection.
