Welding Blanket
Highly flame-resistant characteristics. Can withstand temperatures above 1000deg. c without deteriorating or hardening.
Very low heat shrinkage. For example, a blanket exposed to 240deg.c for 2 hours will shrink by less than 1 ½ per cent.
The limited oxygen index (LOI) is above 50 %, meaning that the air would have to contain at least 50 % pure oxygen in order to ignite the blanket.
The blanket is non–toxic and does not emit any smoke, even when exposed to fire for an extended period.
– It is soft and drapes easily around objects.
– It is light, non–abrasive and does not melt.
It has no competitors in the field of protection against heat, flames and hot metal splashings.
Note: Fibreglass, asbestos and ceramic blankets resist heat but they are heavy and abrasive.
In addition, they are not environmentally friendly. In fact, fibreglass and asbestos are downright dangerous.
