PLATINUM WB1250+ WELDING BLANKET 1.0M X 23M ROLL

Not your average welding blanket! PLATINUM WB1250+ is a ‘next generation’ high-temperature fabric with a high-tech proprietary coating that provides superior performance and safety/ergonomics. This allows PLATINUM WB1250+ fabric to be lightweight, whilst offering protection and durability that is superior to other much thicker & heavier fabrics. Provides max working temperature exposure of 1200°c and up to 1600°c short duration exposure.
Unlike most other high-temperature welding blankets / fabrics, PLATINUM WB1250+ is completely non-irritant, does not shed dust or raw fibres, and is very safe and comfortable to handle. Resists fraying and can be easily cut to any required length or shape.

KEY FEATURES

• High-tech proprietary coating provides superior performance & safety vs most other types of high-temperature blankets
• Max recommended working temperature / exposure: 1200°c
• Max short term / momentary heat resistance: ~1600°c
• Coating on both sides of blanket completely seals / impregnates base fibres, providing a smooth, non-hairy finish
• Non-irritant, very safe, comfortable and easy to handle
• Resists spark penetration between fibres that can occur with other blankets
• Does NOT shed dust / fibres, which is an eye / skin / respiratory hazard associated with most other high-temp blankets
• Does not give off toxic / harmful fumes when in contact with heat / flame
• Smooth surface enables spatter and dross to cascade away, when used as a drape with blanket on an inclined surface
• Strong, durable, tear-resistant, and abrasion-resistant
• Lightweight: special coating allows WB1250+ fabric to be lightweight, whilst offering protection that would usually only be achieved with much thicker & heavier fabrics
• Safer & easier handling and transport (1x23m roll weighs ~12kg), compared to other blanket rolls that can weight up to 50kg or more
• Resistant oils and solvents (which can contaminate blankets and become a fire hazard)
• Can be easily cut to any required length or shape using knife or scissors, leaving a smooth edge that resists fraying, and with no shedding of raw fibres that cause irritation

APPLICATION INFO*

• For protection against sparks, spatter, light molten metal splash, and intermittent flame
• Suitable for protecting objects during grinding, welding, oxy cutting, gouging, etc
• Not recommended for heat treatment / stress relieving (wrapping of heated objects to slow cooling). For this application, fabrics/blankets with a higher density / weight

SPECIFICATIONS

• Max recommended working temperature / exposure: 1200°c
• Max short term / momentary heat resistance: ~1600°c
• Nominal Thickness: 0.5mm
• Nominal Weight: 500g/m2
• Colour: Grey
• Base fabric: Glass fibre with special proprietary non-toxic, inorganic, non-flammable coating

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
• Cut blanket to any required length or shape using sharp knife or scissors
• Does not require any special PPE to handle the blanket itself, however use of eye, hand, and respiratory protection is always recommend for protection against any dust & debris that has fallen on the blanket during use
