Welding Blanket
Poseidon supplies fire-retardant welding blankets for equipment and work-area shielding during welding, cutting, grinding, and other hot work. Compare the light-duty fiberglass, vermiculite-coated, and high-silica options by spark or slag exposure, installation, fabric weight, thickness, and dimensions.
Material options include E-glass fiberglass and 96% silica fabrics, with silicone, vermiculite, acrylic, or graphite coatings. Select the required construction and documentation for the finished hot-work blanket, pad, or curtain duty. Material flame tests and peak-temperature values do not establish personal protective performance or suitability for every molten-metal exposure. Compare blanket types in the fire blanket range.

Each Poseidon welding blanket is engineered for consistent performance in high-temperature environments. The welding blanket material selection includes fiberglass and high-silica fabrics offering continuous resistance from 550 °C (1022 °F) up to 1000 °C (1832 °F), with short-term peaks reaching 1900 °C (3452 °F) for molten metal splash exposure.
Available flame retardant coatings provide specialized benefits:
Silicone coating – flexible, oil-resistant, and easy to clean.
Vermiculite coating – superior slag and spark resistance for heavy-duty welding.
Graphite coating – oxidation and chemical splash protection.
Acrylic coating – economical FR finish for light-duty work areas.
Each fireproof welding blanket is reinforced with para-aramid stitching and fitted with nickel-plated or stainless-steel grommets (15 mm Ø every 24–36 in / 610–914 mm) for secure installation. Available as pre-cut sheets or rolls, they integrate seamlessly with other flame retardant fire blankets, curtains, or welding enclosures.
Material flame testing: UL 94 (V0/V1) and NFPA 701 Methods 1 & 2 for the specified material specimens; these tests do not establish approval of every finished hot-work configuration.
Continuous heat tolerance: 550 °C – 1000 °C (1022 °F – 1832 °F); short-term exposure to 1900 °C (3452 °F).
High mechanical durability: abrasion-resistant welding blanket materials with long service life.
Chemical and UV-resistant surface coatings for industrial and outdoor use.
Quick setup with reinforced edges and standardized grommet spacing.
OEM / Private Label Options – customized color, logo, and packaging for distributors or OEM partners.
Welding and Cutting Zones – Primary use as a welding blanket or welding mat to protect nearby structures, machinery, and floors.
Metalworking & Foundry Operations – Heavy-duty flame retardant blankets for slag, sparks, and molten metal containment.
Construction & Shipbuilding – Portable fire blankets for confined-space or elevated welding operations.
Industrial Maintenance – Shields equipment during grinding, cutting, or hot-work repair.
Automotive & Chemical Plants – Suitable for heat-isolating work areas with flame retardant coatings to prevent surface ignition.

Material specimens are tested using UL 94 (V0/V1) and NFPA 701 Methods 1 & 2, according to the specified fabric and coating. These material tests address flame behavior; they do not establish certification of every finished hot-work blanket, pad, or curtain. Where FM 4950 approval is required, specify the finished-product duty and approval documentation for the ordered configuration.
The products are intended for facility and equipment shielding, rather than personal protection. Select by the actual exposure and installation; continuous and short-term peak temperatures are different conditions.
For bulk or OEM supply, provide the welding/cutting process, spark or slag exposure, vertical or horizontal installation, protected area and dimensions, material/coating, thickness and fabric weight, edge/grommet requirements, quantity, required standard/documentation, branding, and folded-kit or roll packaging.
