Weld SX Welding Blanket
Product Description
Exclusively developed and manufactured by Texfire, the WELD SX welding blanket is the only solution on the market that combines high-performance spark containment with thermal insulation. Designed for heavy-duty industrial applications, it provides advanced protection for people, surfaces, equipment, and installations against incandescent particles, sparks, and molten metal splashes produced during welding and cutting operations.
The blanket is tailored from Texfire’s proprietary WELD SX fabric. One side features a high-temperature resistant silicone coating (shiny black), which repels sparks and fused metal, preventing them from sticking, burning, or damaging the surface. The opposite side consists of Preox mat fabric, acting as a powerful thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat transfer—making this the only welding blanket that simultaneously insulates and contains flame projections.
Suitable for a wide range of welding techniques—including MIG, TIG, electrode, spot welding—as well as cutting methods such as plasma cutting, oxy-fuel, radial cutting, and grinding, the WELD SX blanket is trusted in industries ranging from shipbuilding to boiler making and steel fabrication. It can be used in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal positions, either suspended or laid directly over the surface to be protected. The silicone side should always face the heat source, while the mat side should contact the item or surface to be insulated.
Reinforced with a textile bias and sewn with black meta-aramid flame retardant thread, each blanket includes metal grommets on all four corners for secure installation and comes with an elastic band for easy storage. Despite its robust protective properties, the blanket remains lightweight and flexible, offering ease of handling and placement even in complex setups.
Texfire offers this blanket in two practical sizes: 150 × 100 cm (1,100 g) and 200 × 150 cm (2,200 g). It is completely opaque, impermeable to liquids, fats, and oils, and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The WELD SX fabric meets stringent fire safety standards, including EN ISO 13501-1 with a B s1 d0 classification, and UNE 23727 with an M2 rating. These certifications confirm the blanket’s resistance to combustion, melting, dripping, and its long-lasting protective capabilities. Its flame retardant properties are inherent to the fibres, meaning they do not degrade over time or with use.
