Jackson Safety 36318 Welding Blanket 8x6 Ft Vermiculite

Product Description

The JACKSON SAFETY 36318 is a vermiculite-coated welding blanket designed to protect surrounding surfaces, equipment, and personnel from weld spatter, sparks, and radiant heat during hot work operations. Measuring 8 feet wide by 6 feet long and 0.03 inches thick, this blanket provides broad coverage in fabrication shops, industrial facilities, and field service environments. The vermiculite coating gives the blanket its heat-resistant properties while keeping weight low at 1.5 pounds. Welders, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians rely on this type of protective blanket as a standard part of hot work safety setups.

This welding blanket is suited for use in both shop and field environments where hot work is performed near flammable materials, finished surfaces, or sensitive equipment. Common applications include structural steel fabrication, pipe welding, HVAC duct work, and general maintenance welding. The 8 by 6 foot footprint makes it practical for draping over machinery, hanging as a weld curtain backdrop, or laying flat as a floor or workbench protector during grinding and cutting operations.

Key Features

• Vermiculite-coated construction provides resistance to weld spatter and radiant heat
• Large 8 ft wide by 6 ft long coverage area suits a wide range of hot work setups
• Lightweight at 1.5 pounds for easy deployment and repositioning on the job
• Black color reduces glare and light reflection in the work area
• 0.03 inch thickness keeps the blanket flexible and easy to drape or hang

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose welding and hot work protective blanket suitable for use with MIG, TIG, stick, and oxy-fuel processes in industrial and field service applications.

Installation Notes

Welding blankets are deployed by qualified welders or hot work safety personnel as part of a complete hot work permit setup. Inspect the blanket for damage, burn-through, or deterioration before each use and remove from service if structural integrity is compromised. Secure edges with welding blanket clips or hang grommets where available to prevent shifting during operations. Follow all applicable NFPA hot work safety guidelines when using protective blankets near combustible materials.
