Silica Welding Blanket
A Silica Welding Blanket is a high-temperature-resistant cloth composed mostly of silica fibers that protects surfaces and personnel from sparks, splatter, and molten metal during welding and other hot work procedures. These blankets often have a high silica content (about 96% or higher) and can endure tremendous temperatures, which frequently surpass 1800°F (982°C).
Key Features of a Silica Welding Blanket :
High-temperature resistant (up to 1800°F), 96% pure silica, fireproof, lightweight, flexible, abrasion-resistant, low smoke emission, chemical-resistant, robust, woven construction, different thicknesses, bespoke sizes, protects against sparks, molten metal, and heat.
» High-Temperature Resistance : Can withstand extreme heat, typically up to 1800°F (982°C) or higher, making it ideal for welding, cutting, and foundry applications.
» High Silica Content : Made of 96% or more pure silica fibers, ensuring superior thermal protection and durability.
» Fire & Heat Shielding : Effectively blocks sparks, slag, molten metal, and extreme heat, protecting workers and equipment.
» Lightweight & Flexible : Easy to handle, drape, and wrap around irregular surfaces while maintaining strong protective qualities.
» Abrasion & Tear Resistance : Designed for rugged industrial use, providing long-lasting protection even in harsh conditions.
» Low Smoke & Odor Emission : Unlike some treated fiberglass blankets, silica welding blankets produce minimal smoke or fumes.
» Chemical Resistance : Resistant to most chemicals and contaminants, maintaining effectiveness in various industrial settings.
» Available in Various Thicknesses & Sizes : Comes in multiple dimensions and thickness levels to suit different welding and thermal insulation needs.
Types of Silica Welding Blanket :
There are several types of silica welding blankets: standard (96% silica, 1800°F heat resistance), vermiculite-coated (2000°F, abrasion-resistant), silicone-coated (water, chemical-resistant), aluminized (reflects radiant heat), and graphite-coated.
» Standard Silica Welding Blanket : Made of 96%+ pure silica fibers. Heat resistance is up to 1800°F (982°C). Flexible, lightweight, and robust. Perfect for general welding, cutting, and heat shielding.
» Vermiculite-Coated Silica Welding Blanket : Vermiculite coating provides enhanced heat resistance up to 2000°F (1093°C). Reduces fraying while increasing abrasion resistance. Suitable for high-temperature welding and industrial applications.
» Silicone-Coated Silica Welding Blanket : Silicone coating provides resistance to water and chemicals. withstands intense heat and repels moisture, oils, and chemicals. Ideal for outdoor welding, high-temperature insulation, and fire prevention.
» Aluminized Silica Welding Blanket : Aluminized layer reflects radiant heat and offers great temperature resistance. Suitable for furnace insulation, foundry, and aerospace applications. Ideal for protecting surfaces from radiant heat exposure.
» Graphite-Coated Silica Welding Blanket : The raphite layer increases durability and resistance to molten metal splashes. Suitable for heavy-duty welding, plasma cutting, and metal production. Withstands severe temperatures while remaining flexible.
