Applications
Weld Splatter Protection Materials
Important assets such as wiring, cables, hoses and equipment can be protected from weld splatter with a variety of products.
Light weld splatter can be handled with thin coatings of silicone rubber - usually on base materials such as fiberglass. Available as tapes, sleeves and fabrics. Custom fabricated shields are also available.
InSilMax uncoated fabrics are also good materials for containing weld splatter as the fabric prevents burn through.
If the assets to be protected are vertically placed, then both silicone rubber coated, weld shield coated and plain insilmax can be used.
For horizontal protection, a thicker silicone rubber material should be used or a plain or vermiculite coated InSilMax.
ANSI FM 4950 Materials
Many of our fabric materials for welding protection meet ANSI/FM 4950 and can be supplied with certification.
Available in fabric/roll form, or the same materials can be supplied in a finished blanket, with folded and stitched edges, and grommets around the perimeter and corners. For welding curtains, the curtain can be supplied with a chain channel along one edge.
