Dear safety Seniors ,
Pls suggest which welding blanket for welding & cutting operation as a precautionary measure we can used for chemical company where flammable solvents are used
1. Ceramic Vermiculite coated with SS Wire welding blanket
2. KARBOSIL ( Light weight carbon fiber fire ) - 100% itching free welding blanket
3. Grapaite coated fiber glass welding blanket
4. Fiber glass welding blanket
5. silicon coated fiber glass welding blanket

Dear Abhay,
You have asked for a very technical question.
There are many types of fire blankets in the market. In your case what you require is:
1. One that will not absorb solvent and become a fire hazard in itself. It means the blanket must be solvent resistant.
2. A blanket that will not emit toxic gases when exposed to intense heat or flame.
3. A blanket that will not emit airborne fibers.
4. A blanket that will meet industry standard for the purpose.
Fiberglass fabrics resist most acids, alkalis and solvents except hydrofluoric acid. However I strongly recommend Silicone Coated Fire Blanket only for your use in solvent atmosphere.
You can also use Ceramic Vermiculite coated with SS Wire welding blanket or even graphite coated fiber glass fire blanket which stands next only to silicon coated one.

Hello Abhay,
I think you choose a wrong Forum for your query--so no point worrying about 'so many views......'.
But Kesava Pillai's inputs could be a good starting point, irrespective of whether they answer your query or not--if they do, well & good.
