PROMAX WB1100 1.8 X 0.9M WELDING BLANKET

PROMAX WB1100 is a heavy duty high-temperature welding blanket made from silica glass fabric for protection against heavier sparks, spatter, slag, etc. Also used for heat treatment / stress relieving / heat retention (wrapping of heated objects to slow cooling). Provides max working temperature exposure of 1100°c and up to 1600°c short duration exposure, with heavier weight for increased durability and insulating properties. Available in blankets and rolls.

KEY FEATURES

• ‘Heavy duty’ high-temperature Silica Glass fabric
• Max recommended working temperature / exposure: 1100°c
• Max short term / momentary heat resistance: ~1600°c
• For protection against heavier sparks & 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
• Heavy 1200 gsm fabric for increased durability and insulation properties
• Softer and more flexible than glass fibre fabrics 

APPLICATION INFO*

• For protection against sparks, spatter, slag, light molten splash, and intermittent flame
• Suitable for protecting objects during grinding, welding, oxy cutting, gouging, etc
• Also a good choice for heat treatment / stress relieving (wrapping of heated objects to slow cooling), being a softer & flexible fabric

SPECIFICATIONS

• Max Recommended Working Temperature: 1100°c
• Max Short Term / Momentary Heat Resistance: 1600°c
• Nominal Thickness: 1.2mm (~3mm at hem)
• Nominal Weight: 1,200g/m2
• Colour: Golden brown
• Fabric Type: Silica glass

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 1100°c working temperature, a safety margin should always be allowed for in critical applications. Recommended maximum long-duration direct temperature exposure with safety margin is 700-800°c, or for higher temperatures up to 1100°c use multiple layers.
• Worn or damaged blankets will compromise protection and should be replaced
