KEY FEATURES
- ‘General purpose’ high-temperature welding blanket
- Glass fabric, heat-treated to remove organic binders, set the weave, reduce fraying & reduce irritation
- Withstands up to 550°c long duration exposure
- For protection against sparks and light-to-medium welding spatter, etc
- Also used for heat treatment / stress relieving / heat retention (wrapping of heated objects to slow cooling)
- Gives off very minimal gas/fumes when burned, for safer use and to prevent surface contamination when used to wrap objects
- Heavier weight / thickness for increased durability and insulating properties
APPLICATION INFO*
- For protection against sparks, spatter, etc
- Suitable for protecting objects during grinding, welding, etc
- Suitable for heat treatment / stress relieving / heat retention (also consider WB1000 or WB1100+ blankets for this application, depending on temperature exposure needed)
SPECIFICATIONS
- Temperature Resistance: 550°c long duration
- Nominal Thickness: 1.5mm (~3mm at hem)
- Nominal Weight: 1,000g/m2
- Colour: Golden brown
- Base fabric: Glass fibre
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
- If protecting critical or costly surfaces / items, allways use more layers initially, and test on a non-critical surface first
- When using for surface protection: If possible use on an incline of at least 15 degrees, or when neccessary to use in horizontal position add more layers
- Where the blanket is in closer proximity to the source of sparks etc, consider adding more layers of blanket/fabric as the sparks/spatter will have less time to cool and will be at a higher temperature at the point of touching/impact with the blanket
- Use hand, eye and respiratory protection during handling and use, to protect against airborn fibres and any dust/debris that has fallen on the blanket during use
- While blanket will withstand up to 550°c , a safety margin should always be allowed for, especially in critical applications. Consider using WB1000, WB1100, or WB1250+ blankets for more demanding applications
- Worn or damaged blankets will compromise protection and should be replaced
*As applications and usage conditions vary widely, no warranty or fitness for use in any specific application is implied or intended. In critical applications, blankets should always be tested/trialed to determined if they offer adequate protection. E.&O.E.
