● Welding blankets are also known as welding mats and welding drapes. But whatever you call them, their purpose is to protect the user and surrounding environment.
● Welding Blanket/curtain are made of specially treated fiberglass fabric,coated fiberglass fabric, silica fabric protecting temperature below 1200℃, which can be compact, soft and ductile.
Product overview
● Using this fire-resistant material to cover small cracks, crevices or holes prevents flares, sparks or molten metal spatter from trapping in these tight spaces and reduces the possibility of uncontrolled welding fires.
● InsoFire offers customers the chance to tailor custom-made protection blankets for welding, cutting and grinding operations, according to the client’s need and with different flame retardant fabrics in relation to the kind of welding that is going to be performed. The perimeter is reinforced with a bias and also InsoFire offers the opportunity to incorporate metallic grommets on each 50 cm to ease its holding.
● The maximum measurements that can be acquired are 10x10 meters. For higher sizes, we recommend our clients contact InsoFire’s team via phone or email.
We also supply the fire welding blankets in rolls, with width 1m/1.2m/1.5m, roll length 50m or 100m, as your needs.

How to choose welding blanket or cloth?
1. Select application.
General applications of welding blanket or cloth:
● Light duty - general purpose welding, light sparks and small spatter. Not recommended for horizontal application.
● Medium duty - heavier welding, sparks, spatter and light slag.
● Heavy duty - heavy sparks, spatter, slag and molten metal.
● Stress relief - choose soft materials recommended for Stress relief applications. The coated materials usually are not recommended for stress relief applications.
2. Determine dimensions of area to be protected.
InsoFire provides welding cloth in roll form or in prefabricated blankets. Consider dimensions of area to be protected and determine what form is suitable.
3. Select the finished blanket or cloth.
● Stiff material coated material has better abrasion resistance. Stiffer to allow spatter and slag to roll off easily.
● Soft material without coated material is pliable. This material is easy to be draped over and wrapped around objects. It's usually used for stress relief applications.
● Weight and thickness of material: the heavier and thicker material provide better protection and take longer to burn through.
