PROMAX WB550 1.0 X 1.8M WELDING BLANKET

PROMAX WB550 is a ‘general purpose’ high-temperature welding blanket for protection against grinding sparks, light to medium welding spatter, etc. Also used for heat treatment / stress relieving / heat retention (wrapping of heated objects to slow cooling). Withstands up to 550°c long duration & ~700°c short duration exposure. Heat-treated to reduce fraying and irritation, with heavier weight for increased durability and insulating properties. Available in blankets and rolls.

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 and 700°c short 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*

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. 
• Worn or damaged blankets will compromise protection and should be replaced
