The FiremanBrand Welding Blanket ™ is a non-woven product that does not burn, melt, soften or drip. It is a light weight and flexible blanket to be used as a fire or welding blanket and to protect sensitive areas from grinding sparks and welding splatter.

The blanket was initially introduced into the auto panel beating industry to protect cars during welding  but has grown  into various applications such as mining, heavy welding procedures, engineering, marine, and protection of  expensive machinery during maintenance shut downs.  It is also used as an emergency fire blanket to extinguish fires by cutting off the oxygen supply or to wrap around a person in case of a fire.
