T810-1425 - Tillman 810 Series Vermiculite Coated Fiberglass Heat Shield

High-Performance Thermal Protection

The Tillman 810 Series represents a standard in light-to-medium duty thermal protection for industrial environments. Constructed from a robust 18 oz. per square yard fiberglass base, this material is treated with a specialized vermiculite coating. This coating serves a dual purpose: it significantly enhances the material's thermal stability, allowing it to withstand continuous operating temperatures of 1000°F (538°C) and transient spikes up to 1500°F (815°C), and it encapsulates the fiberglass fibers. This encapsulation reduces fiber shedding, making the material more durable and user-friendly compared to raw fiberglass textiles.

Designed for versatility, the T810 series material is FM Approved, ensuring it meets rigorous safety standards for fire propagation and heat resistance. The 0.030-inch thickness provides a balance of mechanical strength and flexibility, making it suitable for use as vertical welding curtains, equipment covers, and stress relief wrapping for piping. While not intended for molten slag containment (where silica or carbon felt would be superior), the 810 series excels at deflecting sparks, light spatter, and radiant heat in MIG, TIG, and light stick welding operations.

The specific SKU T810-1425 indicates a specific configuration of this material, likely a pre-cut size or roll dimension tailored for specific shop requirements. Its white color aids in visibility and cleanliness in controlled environments. Engineers and safety officers can rely on the Tillman 810 series to provide consistent, certified protection against the hazards of open arcs and grinding sparks.
