Welding Blankets for Industrial Applications – Protection Against Heat, Sparks and Molten Metal Splash
Welding blankets for industry and high temperature applications up to 1600°C provide reliable protection against flying sparks, welding spatter, molten metal splash and radiant heat. They are used in metalworking, plant engineering and industrial production processes and protect machinery, work areas and sensitive surfaces during welding, cutting and grinding operations from high thermal stress.
Our range includes high-quality welding blankets made of fiberglass, silica fabric and specialized high-performance materials such as Preox needle felt. Depending on the design, our welding blankets are rated for temperature ranges from 600°C to 1600°C and offer tailored solutions for industrial applications, ranging from cost-effective standard applications to extreme high temperature processes.
With different coatings such as PU-Alufix, HT coating, vermiculite or aluminum foil, the welding blankets can be optimally matched to the respective application – for protection against sparks and molten metal splash as well as for the effective reflection of radiant heat in industrial environments.
Welding blankets by temperature range
Our welding blankets cover all relevant temperature ranges for industrial applications. Depending on the area of use and thermal exposure, different materials and coatings are available.
Welding blankets up to 600 °C
→ cost-effective standard solutions for workshops, trades and light industrial applications
→ e.g. 607.G1 Welding Blanket or 620.G2 Heavy Duty Welding BlanketWelding blankets up to 800 °C
→ increased temperature resistance due to HT coating
→ ideal for more demanding welding and grinding work
→ e.g. 810.HT Welding BlanketWelding blankets up to 1000 - 1200 °C
→ high temperature welding blankets for continuous industrial use
→ protection under high thermal stress and against molten metal splash
→ e.g. 1100.HT Welding Blanket or 1020.VC2 High Temperature Welding BlanketWelding blankets up to 1400 - 1600 °C
→ solutions for extreme heat, high temperature processes and heavy industrial applications
→ e.g. KFZ.1460 (fiberglass-free) as well as 1608.VC2 Silica High Temperature Welding Blanket or 1615.VC2 Heavy Duty Silica Welding Blanket
This allows the right welding blanket to be selected precisely for every application.
Overview of the differences between our welding blankets

| 810.HT | 800 °C | Fiberglass + HT finish | higher temperature resistance | Elevated operating temperatures (e.g. metalworking) |
| 620.A1 | 1000 °C | Fiberglass + aluminum foil | radiant heat protection | Applications with high radiant heat exposure (e.g. plant engineering) |
| 1020.VC2 | 1000 - 1200 °C | Fiberglass + vermiculite | high temperature | Applications with high operating temperatures (heavy industry) |
| 1100.HT | 1100 °C | Fiberglass + HT finish | durable | High temperatures under mechanical stress (industrial standard) |
| KFZ.1460 | 1400 °C | Preox needle felt | fiberglass-free | Welding and grinding in automotive environments |
| 1608.VC2 | 1600 °C | Silica + vermiculite | extreme temperature resistance | Extreme heat applications (heavy industry, shipbuilding) |
| 1615.VC2 | 1600 °C | Silica + vermiculite | extreme temperature resistance + heavy duty | Extreme heat and mechanical stress (heavy industry, shipbuilding) |
Comparison of materials and coatings
Different materials are used depending on the application:
Fiberglass
→ proven standard material for welding blankets
→ cost-effective and versatile
→ ideal for flying sparks and light thermal exposureFiberglass + HT finish
→ increased temperature resistance
→ suitable for more demanding industrial applications
→ good combination of flexibility and durabilityFiberglass + vermiculite
→ significantly higher temperature resistance
→ ideal for high temperature welding blankets
→ increased protection against molten metal splashSilica fabric + vermiculite
→ for extreme temperatures up to 1600 °C for short periods
→ used in industry, energy and high temperature processes
→ very high thermal resistance
Coatings:
- PU-Alufix → mechanical protection + slight reflectivity
- HT coating → improved long-term durability
- Aluminum foil → maximum reflection of radiant heat
- Vermiculite → increased temperature resistance and mechanical strength
The right combination of material and coating determines the performance of the welding blanket.
