Silicone Coated Fiberglass Welding Blanket
The Safeprotex Silicone-Coated Fiberglass Welding Blanket is made from a fiberglass base fabric coated with a durable layer of silicone rubber. The silicone layer withstands temperatures up to 500°F (260°C), while the fiberglass base fabric endures up to 1022°F (550°C), providing exceptional protection in industrial environments.
The silicone coating enhances fiberglass performance, offering flexibility, heat resistance (260°C/500°F), and protection against water, oil, chemicals, UV, and abrasion. It ensures durability in welding, fire protection, waterproofing, and chemical-resistant applications across industrial environments.
Welding blanket is designed for fire protection, waterproofing, and chemical resistance, making it suitable for welding operations, industrial environments with heat sources, and applications involving liquid and chemical exposure.
