FB-021-0505 - 5' x 5' Carbon Felt Welding Blanket & Heat Shield (16 oz)

The Ultimate Scratch-Free Heat Shield for Welders and Mechanics

Protecting your workspace and your workpiece is just as important as the weld itself. The 5' x 5' Carbon Felt Welding Blanket (FB-021-0505) is the solution for welders, plumbers, and autobody technicians who need a heat shield that is both tough on heat and gentle on surfaces. Made from 16oz organic carbon fiber, this blanket is incredibly soft and flexible, solving the common complaints associated with itchy, stiff fiberglass blankets.

One of the standout features of this carbon felt blanket is its ability to protect without damaging. If you are working on an automobile, you can drape this blanket directly over painted fenders, glass, or interiors to protect them from sparks and slag. Because the material is soft and non-abrasive, it won't scratch or mar delicate finishes. This makes it a favorite for automotive restoration and repair shops where protecting the vehicle's aesthetic is critical.

Extreme Heat Handling

Don't let the soft feel fool you; this blanket is a beast when it comes to heat. It handles continuous temperatures up to 1800°F and can survive direct contact with heat sources up to 2500°F for short periods. This makes it perfect for:

• Plumbing: Stuffing behind pipes to protect drywall and studs while soldering copper.
• Brazing: Catching hot flux and sparks during HVAC repairs.
• Light Welding: Shielding nearby equipment from spatter during MIG or TIG work.

User-Friendly Design

The flexibility of the carbon felt allows you to wrap it around pipes, fold it into corners, or hang it as a curtain with ease. It is lightweight enough to carry in a tool bag yet thick enough to provide a substantial thermal break. Unlike some synthetic materials that melt and stick when overheated, this carbon felt will simply carbonize locally without shrinking or dripping, ensuring that your protection never fails when you need it most.
