Product Description
21 oz. Black Slag-Shed Fiberglass Welding Blanket w/ Grommets 24'' Apart
Our 21 oz. Black Slag-Shed Fiberglass Welding Blanket is engineered for medium-to-heavy duty spark containment and molten metal deflection. Manufactured from tightly woven fiberglass and coated with a specialized black acrylic slag-shed finish, this blanket is designed to force molten splatter and slag to roll off rather than stick. This self-shedding property significantly extends the lifespan of the blanket while reducing the risk of burn-throughs and smoke generation.
As shown in the product imagery, the blanket features a durable, textured black finish that minimizes glare while hiding dirt and soot typical of industrial environments. The edges are reinforced with heavy-duty stitching and equipped with solid brass grommets spaced every 24 inches on all four sides, allowing for easy, secure hanging as a vertical curtain or quick tie-down as a protective cover.

- Durability: Highly resistant to abrasion, tearing, oils, and most industrial chemicals.
Common Applications
This blanket is ideal for use as a vertical welding curtain, grinding shield, or equipment cover in environments where heavy sparking, slag, and molten splatter are present. It is commonly used in automotive repair, shipbuilding, heavy manufacturing, construction sites, and general fabrication shops.
Note: This blanket is intended for spark and slag deflection. It is not designed for stress-relieving or wrapping hot pipes where the blanket must hold in heat.
