OVERVIEW

High-Performance Thermal Protection for Industrial Environments

The FB-021-0504 Safety Blanket is a premium-grade protective solution designed for rigorous industrial welding and fabrication environments. Measuring 5 feet by 4 feet, this blanket is constructed from advanced carbon felt, a material renowned for its exceptional thermal stability and insulating properties. Unlike standard fiberglass blankets that can be stiff and shed irritating fibers, carbon felt offers a dense, non-flammable barrier that effectively neutralizes sparks, light slag, and welding spatter before they can cause damage to surrounding equipment or personnel.

In the MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) sector, asset protection is paramount. This blanket serves as a critical line of defense, capable of withstanding high temperatures often exceeding 1800°F (depending on specific exposure duration). Its thermal efficiency also makes it an excellent choice for controlled cooling applications. By draping the blanket over freshly welded components, operators can slow the cooling rate, reducing the risk of thermal shock and stress cracking in sensitive alloys. This dual-purpose functionality—protection and process aid—makes it an invaluable tool in power plants, refineries, and heavy manufacturing facilities.

Safety compliance and durability are at the core of this product's design. The carbon felt material is inherently flame-resistant and does not melt or drip when exposed to high heat sources. It is lightweight yet robust, allowing maintenance teams to easily transport and deploy the blanket in confined spaces or elevated work areas. Whether used to cover flammable materials, shield expensive machinery, or create a safe buffer zone during hot work, the FB-021-0504 delivers reliable performance that safety managers trust.

Key Industrial Benefits

  • Superior Heat Resistance: Handles direct exposure to sparks and intermittent flame without degradation.
  • Chemical Stability: Resistant to many common industrial chemicals and solvents.
  • User Safety: Non-irritating composition reduces skin sensitivity issues common with older fiberglass alternatives.
  • Versatile Deployment: Easily cut or folded to fit specific machinery contours without losing integrity.

FAQ

Carbon felt blankets are generally rated for high heat resistance, typically withstanding temperatures around 1800°F (982°C). They are excellent for sparks, spatter, and light slag, but not intended for holding pools of molten metal.

No, that is one of its primary benefits. The carbon felt material is soft and non-abrasive, making it safe to drape directly over painted surfaces, glass, or polished metals without causing scratches.

Yes, carbon felt has excellent insulating properties. You can wrap it around a freshly welded part to slow down the cooling process, which helps prevent cracking in sensitive metals like cast iron.

No, it is made of carbonized fiber (carbon felt). This material is generally softer, lighter, and does not cause the skin irritation often associated with traditional fiberglass welding blankets.

It is recommended to simply shake the blanket out to remove debris. Do not wash it with water or solvents, as this can degrade the material's structural integrity and heat-resistant properties.

This specific safety blanket measures 5 feet by 4 feet (60 inches by 48 inches), providing 20 square feet of coverage.

While it can be hung, it does not typically come with grommets like a dedicated welding curtain. It is designed primarily for draping over objects. If you need a hanging screen, a vinyl or fiberglass curtain with grommets might be better.

Carbon felt is much more stable than fiberglass and typically does not shed irritating fibers, making it safer for use in clean environments or where personnel are working closely with the material.
