Welding Safety Blankets and Fire Curtains
See also: Fabrics for Theater Fire Curtains
Newtex heat-resistant fabrics are woven from a variety of highly texturized and non-texturized fiberglass yarns. Most fabrics contain specialized coatings to resist high-temperatures and abrasion.
Marketed under the Zetex, ZetexPlus, Z-Pro, Z-Shield, and Z-Sil brand names, our fabrics are easy to fabricate into a wide range of safety blankets and curtains.
| ZETEX® |
| Zetex 600 HC (heat cleaned) is an excellent, low-cost fabric for industrial safety blanket and curtain applications.
Weight: Zetex 600 HC is 18 oz/ SY (600 grams/SM) Width: Available in 50 yard rolls (46 meters) length in 40-in. (1016mm) and 60-in. (1524mm) widths |
| ZETEX ORANGE |
| Zetex 800 Orange is a durable fabric used to fabricate blankets and curtains.

| ZETEXPLUS® |
 ZetexPlus fabric is manufactured from a highly texturized glass yarn with a high temperature coating. The fabric's coating resists abrasion, chemicals, and flame resistance and helps prevent molten slag burn-through. ZetexPlus 800 is the most common ZetexPlus fabric, used for applications over 1200°F (649°C).
Weight: ZetexPlus is 24 oz/ SY (800 grams/SM) Width: Available in 50 yard rolls (46 meters) length in 40-in. (1016mm) and 60-in. (1524mm) widths |
| Z-PRO |
| Z-Pro fabrics contain a high-tech coating specifically developed for heavy duty applications. The coating resists molten splash and sparks, and gives off less smoke and off-gasses than other blanket and curtain fabrics. Z-Pro is available with choice of fabrics: Z-Pro 700 GK and Z-Pro 1100 GK are aramid glass blend fabric; Z-Pro 720 is glass fabric.
Weight:
Width: Available in 50 yard rolls (46 meters) length in 40 inch (1016mm) and 60 inch (1524mm), and 72 inch (1828mm) widths. |
| Z-SHIELD |
| Durable texturized fiberglass yarns are woven to make Z-Shield, a strong, reliable fabric designed for safety blankets and curtains. The fabric's coating acts as a flame retardant, and protects from welding sparks and heat up to 1000°F (538°C). Z-Shield 730 is available in gold, blue, and green colors.
Weight: Z-Shield 730 is 22 oz/SY (700 grams/SM) Width: Available in 50 yard rolls (46 meters) length in 40-in. (1016mm), and 60-in. (1524mm), and 72-in. (1828mm) widths.

| Z-SIL |
| Z-Zil is a texturized fiberglass fabric treated with a high temperature coating, offering continuous thermal protection to 1800°F (1280°C). The high temperature coating also significantly improves both the fabric's abrasive resistance and flexibility.
Available in Style 600 (lightweight) and Style 1100 (heavyweight) fabrics, the fabric is ideal for protecting personnel and equipment as well as resisting chemicals. Weight:
Width: Available in 50 yard rolls (46 meters) length in 35-in. (890mm) width |
