Premium quality protective welding blanket made of carbon fiber felt, 6' X 6', sold individually

Premium carbon fiber felt welding blanket for extreme thermal protection.

Jackson Safety manufacturer's code: 36320, 36313.

Available in 2 sizes: 6' X 6' or 8' X 8'. Make your choice from the drop-down menu above.

The welding blanket is ANSI 4950 approved. It is recommended for temperatures up to 1800 °F. While its melting temperature is 3000 °F, with this temperature you'll have extra assurance on heat protection.

Benefits of the PS718 Welding Blanket: Performance and Lightness

This model stands out due to its innovative composition and superior thermal resistance:

• High-Performance Material: Made of carbon fiber felt, offering superior thermal protection compared to conventional fiberglass blankets.

• Extreme Heat Resistance: Designed to withstand high continuous working temperatures and molten metal splashes.

• Flexibility and Lightness: Unlike heavy blankets, carbon felt is very malleable, making it easy to protect irregularly shaped objects.

• Enhanced Safety: Does not release toxic fumes and does not cause skin irritations often associated with fiberglass.

• Durability: Robust material that does not fray easily and retains its protective properties after multiple uses.

Dimensions and Technical Specifications

• Blanket Dimensions: 183 x 183 cm (6 x 6 ft).

• Material: Premium carbon fiber felt.

• Thickness: Dense material providing an effective thermal barrier against sparks and slag.

• Format: Square, ideal for covering large work areas or sensitive equipment.

• Product Code: PS718.

Application Guide: How to Use the Welding Blanket

1. Inspection: Before use, inspect the blanket for any tears or excessive wear.

2. Positioning: Place the blanket over the surface or object to be protected, ensuring it widely covers the area exposed to sparks.

3. Securing: If necessary, secure the blanket to prevent it from slipping during work (avoid piercing the protective material).

4. Action: Proceed with welding or cutting. The blanket will absorb sparks and molten metal splashes.

5. Post-Use Maintenance: Allow the blanket to cool, shake off metal residue, and store it in a dry place.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the PS718 Blanket

What is the maximum temperature this blanket can handle? Carbon fiber felt can withstand very high direct contact temperatures (up to 1800°F / 1000°C depending on the fiber type) without igniting or melting.

Is it better than a fiberglass blanket? Yes, for intensive work. It is lighter, does not itch the skin, and provides a better thermal barrier against radiant heat and direct splashes.

Is the PS718 blanket washable? It is recommended not to wash it with water. Light brushing or dry cleaning is preferred to maintain the integrity of the carbon fibers.

Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Expert Advice

• Orientation: Ensure the blanket is stretched to prevent sparks from accumulating in folds, which could create a point of intense heat.

• Replacement: Although durable, replace the blanket if it has significant holes or if the felt becomes excessively thin in certain areas after prolonged exposure.
