Why to use a Fire Curtain or Fire Proof Barrier?

Fire Curtains minimize the extent of fire & slow the development of fire, act as a barrier to slow the fire & smoke from spreading to other parts of the manufacturing plant/office and help protect escape routes in a building from being engulfed in fire & smoke. Fire Curtains help minimize inventory & machinery damage due to spread of fire and give precious time for people to escape in case of a fire. Fire curtain material needs to be resistant to fire for a period ranging bet

How much heat can a fire blanket withstand?

Fire blankets are high temperature fabrics made from either fiberglass fabrics or high silica fabrics or ceramic fabric having a temperature resistance between 550 °C to 1600 °C . Fiberglass fabrics can withstand continuously upto 550 °C but can work for welding sparks upto 1100 °C since that is the maximum temperature fiberglass can withstand at which it melts. High Silica fabrics can withstand continuously upto 1000 °C but can work for welding sparks upto 1600 °C . Ver

Why do you need a Fire Blanket for Welding?

Welding work is an integral part of every industry as it involves either joining two metal components together or breaking a metal component into parts. In both cases a high temperature flame is applied to a metal resulting in it melting and emitting sparks. These sparks are of extreme high temperature and can result in fire or damage to equipment unless some high temperature protective cloth is used to collect these welding sparks. Such a high temperature fire safety blanket

Use of Fire Blankets for Welding

Almost every industry has repair and engineering work ongoing at their site which involves welding. Welding causes molten metal splatter to fall which can potentially damage the site or equipment at site. To avoid welding splatter damage fire blankets are used. The welding blankets catch the molten metal sparks which settle on the blanket forming black molten mass which cools off gradually. The fire blankets used for welding splatter protection must be fire resistant, high te
