OVERVIEW

High-Performance Carbon Felt Thermal Protection

The FB-021-0506 Safety Blanket is a premium industrial protective cover engineered from 16 oz carbon felt. Designed for environments requiring stringent heat management and surface protection, this blanket serves as a critical barrier against sparks, light spatter, and conductive heat. Unlike traditional fiberglass textiles, carbon felt is manufactured through the carbonization of precursor fibers, resulting in a material that is inherently flame-resistant and capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1800°F (approx. 980°C). This specific 16 oz weight class provides a balance of durability and manageability, offering substantial thermal insulation without the excessive bulk associated with heavier silica or leather alternatives.

The 5-foot by 6-foot dimensions yield a total coverage area of 30 square feet, making it sufficiently large to cover engine bays, plumbing fixtures, or mid-sized industrial machinery. The material's non-woven structure ensures it remains intact even when subjected to thermal stress, preventing the unraveling often seen in woven fabrics. In MRO applications, this blanket is particularly valued for its chemical stability and resistance to common industrial solvents and oils. It functions effectively as a heat shield during soldering, brazing, and light-duty welding operations, protecting adjacent components from heat transfer and accidental burns.

Furthermore, the carbon felt composition eliminates the health and safety concerns associated with fiberglass shedding. It does not release irritating particulates, ensuring a safer working environment for personnel. Its high flexibility allows it to conform tightly to complex geometries, providing superior insulation for pipes and valves during maintenance procedures. This product is an essential asset for facility safety managers looking to mitigate fire risks and protect capital equipment during hot work operations.

FAQ

This carbon felt blanket is generally rated for temperatures up to 1800°F (980°C), making it suitable for spark and light spatter protection.

No, carbon felt is designed for sparks, light spatter, and heat insulation. For heavy slag or molten metal containment, a silica or heavy-duty fiberglass blanket is recommended.

No, this blanket is made from carbonized fibers (carbon felt), which means it does not cause the skin irritation commonly associated with fiberglass products.

No, one of the main advantages of carbon felt is its soft, felt-like texture. It is safe to drape directly over painted surfaces, glass, or interiors without risk of scratching.

Yes, carbon felt can be easily cut with heavy-duty scissors or a utility knife to fit specific shapes or smaller areas without unraveling significantly.

Shake it out to remove debris. If necessary, it can be gently brushed. Avoid washing with water or detergents as this may degrade the fiber structure.

Typically, carbon felt blankets are designed to be draped rather than hung, as the material is soft and may tear at stress points. This model is generally supplied without grommets unless specified otherwise.
