Industrial welding blankets prevent serious hazards within the workspace. They are specialised high-temperature barriers, shielding those within the space, the property and equipment from sparks, molten slag, and intense heat during welding, grinding, or cutting.

Ensuring safety is fundamental within all workspaces, the best way to achieve this is by implementing industrial welding blankets in areas that need them. They act as a primary defence against fire, creating a temporary safety screen or barrier within confined spaces to prevent injuries to nearby personnel. Made from rugged, heat-resistant materials such as fibreglass or silica fabric, high-quality welding blankets are designed for repeated use, making them a cost-effective safety investment. 

Benefits of Welding blankets 

Welding blankets can be customised to any need, designed for multiple uses, and offer flexibility and enhance workspace safety. They reduce the risk of burn injuries to welders, bystanders, and other personnel by shielding against intense heat and flying debris. Using the appropriate welding blanket helps maintain compliance with health and safety regulations and hot-work permit systems. This minimises legal and insurance risks.  

What IC International have to offer 

At IC International, we offer welding blankets that protect workers by shielding against flammable materials and accidental hazards caused by welding sparks. Each of our two welding blankets provide a wide range of benefits.

Weldstop Z1687/409 blankets are non-combustible and designed to provide reliable protection against heavy-duty molten metal sparks up to 1000 degrees. They can withstand radiant heat up to 600 degrees while delivering superior strength and durability. These blankets are especially effective as horizontal welding barriers and are ideal for cutting operations.

Silica welding blankets provide excellent flexibility and drapeability, delivering dependable protection against heavy-duty molten metal sparks up to 1000 degrees. They are ideal for cutting applications and heavy-duty welding environments. Featuring an abrasion-resistant finish, these blankets are also non-combustible for enhanced safety and durability.

Welding creates intense heat, sparks and molten debris, without the correct protection in place, it can lead to serious fire damage. A welding blanket is a crucial investment for any welder, providing excellent protection against heat and sparks. Choosing the correct welding blanket, either Weldstop or Silica, will help enhance the safety and efficiency throughout the workspace.
