Why choose a silicone coated blanket over standard fiberglass? Silicone coating provides three major benefits: it prevents fiberglass fibers from becoming airborne (reducing skin irritation), it vastly improves abrasion and tear resistance, and it makes the blanket resistant to water, oil, and chemicals. 2. Which weight (17 oz. or 32 oz.) should I choose? Choose the 17 oz. for maximum flexibility, hanging vertical curtains, and draping over complex shapes. Choose the 32 oz. for heavy-duty floor protection, heavy spatter environments, and applications requiring maximum abrasion resistance. 3. What is the maximum temperature the silicone coated blanket can withstand? The base fiberglass core is rated for 1000°F (538°C) continuous use. The red silicone coating itself is rated for 500°F (260°C) continuous use, but it easily sheds higher-temperature sparks and spatter before the heat can penetrate or damage the coating. 4. Does it matter which side faces the heat source? Our silicone coated fiberglass welding blankets are fully coated on both sides, meaning either side can safely face the heat source, sparks, or potential fluid spills. 5. Can the silicone coated blanket be cleaned? Yes, one of the major advantages of the silicone coating is that it can be easily wiped down.
