WELDING BLANKET WELD S2

FLAME RETARDANT BLANKET FOR WELDING 900ºC, LIGHT AND REVERSIBLE

The WELD S2 flame retardant welding blanket is made from Texfire’s flame retardant fabric WELS2. It is designed to provide maximum safety and protection against sparks and metal projections produced during welding, cutting, and grinding work. Its high-temperature silicone coating allows it to be used on both sides. Furthermore, this blanket is completely impermeable to liquids, greases, and oils, making it easy to clean with a damp cloth. It is a highly flexible and malleable product that offers the same level of protection on both sides, enabling safe working and protection without any issues.

The WELD S2 flame retardant welding blanket has been developed to provide a high degree of protection against welding sparks from TIG, MIG, and Stick processes, as well as cutting and grinding. It is a versatile product that can be used to protect surfaces, objects, and installations. Texfire recommends using it in a diagonal or vertical position.
