Welding Blankets PROMAX WB1000

PROMAX WB1000 is a ‘medium duty’ welding blanket made from high-temperature fabric for protection against grinding sparks, medium-to-heavy welding spatter, etc. Also used for heat treatment / stress relieving / heat retention (wrapping of heated objects to slow cooling). Specially treated glass fibre to withstand up to 800°c long duration & 1000°c short duration exposure, and to improve insulating properties. Strong, durable, and abrasion-resistant, with heavier weight for longer service life.

KEY FEATURES

  • ‘Medium duty’ high-temperature welding blanket
  • Specially treated glass fabric for higher temperature resistance
  • Withstands up to 800°c long duration / 1000°c short duration exposure
  • For protection against medium-to-heavy sparks & spatter, etc
  • Provides higher temperature resistance than standard glass fibre fabric, without the higher cost of silica
  • 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
  • Strong and abrasion resistant
  • Heavier weight / thickness for longer service life, durability, and better insulating properties

 

APPLICATION INFO*

  • For protection against sparks, spatter, and intermittent/passing flame
  • Suitable for protecting objects during grinding, welding, oxy cutting, gouging, etc
  • Also used for heat treatment / stress relieving (wrapping of heated objects to slow cooling)
  • Good strength, durability and abrasion-resistance make the WB1000 a good choice for rugged environments
  • Withstands intermittent short-duration flame exposure, however not recommended for prolonged / constant direct flame exposure. For resistance against longer-duration flame exposure, Promax WB1100 is more suitable.

 

SPECIFICATIONS

  • Max recommended working temperature / exposure: 800°c
  • Max short term / momentary heat resistance: ~1000°c
  • Nominal Thickness: 1.5mm (~3mm at hem)
  • Nominal Weight: 1,100g/m2
  • Colour: Golden brown
  • Base fabric: Glass fibre

 

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 800-1,000°c , a safety margin should always be allowed for, especially in critical applications. Recommended maximum long-duration direct contact temperature exposure is 600-700°c.
  • Consider using WB1100 or WB1250+ blankets for more demanding applications
  • Worn or damaged blankets will compromise protection and should be replaced
