Flexible Silica Fabric Sheets and Strips

More flexible than standard silica fabric, wrap these sheets and strips to insulate pipes, wires, and hose. This fabric also protects against welding spatter and can be used as curtains, covers, and splash shields. Containing 96% silica, this material has one of the highest temperature ratings of any fabric we offer.

Spark- and Heat-Resistant Blankets

Drape these blankets over machinery or hang them from walls to protect your workspace from sparks. Made of flame-resistant materials, they won’t ignite when sparks fly into them. They also offer heat protection.

Protects Against Sparks, Welding Spatter, and Molten Metal Splash


Silica Fabric Pad	Silica Fabric Blanket

Silica Fabric Roll

Blankets that protect against sparks, welding spatter, and molten metal splash resist heat up to 1800° F, enough to protect you from heavy sparks and molten metal during MIG or stick welding.

Silica Fabric—Silica fabric blankets are stiff and thick, so they stand up to heavy sparks and slag. Even when the blankets are laid flat on the floor, landing sparks won’t burn through them.

Ultra-High-Temperature Flanged Rope Seals

These seals have a strong Inconel core covered with woven silica fabric that’s been treated to withstand extremely high heat. They resist most refrigerants, salts, and grease. The flange on these seals slides into a slot that is commonly found on oven, furnace, and boiler doors; it can be positioned to cover large gaps.
