Welding & Fire Protection

Poster Image of Welding & Fire Protection Application/Industry

Newtex manufactures a range of welding fabrics for welding safety and fire protection during light welding, grinding, heavy welding, metal cutting, stress relieving, and other applications where welding splatter and hot works operations pose serious fire hazards. Our advanced high temperature fabrics and proprietary high temperature coatings have been time-tested to provide superior resistance to extreme temperatures, abrasion, slag, and burn-through without the risk of toxic smoke outgassing. Z-Shield Welding Fabrics and Z-Sil Silica Fabrics have been tested to the ANSI/FM 4950 Standard.

In addition to selling welding fabrics as roll goods (50 linear yards), we also fabricate welding blankets, welding curtains, or welding pads that can be customized to meet the needs of your application.

Application Description Recommended Products
Welding Curtains Intended for use in vertical applications with light to moderate exposures such as that resulting from chipping, grinding, heat treating, sand blasting and light horizontal welding.
Welding Blankets Intended for use in horizontal applications with light to moderate exposures such as that resulting from chipping, grinding, heat treating, sand blasting and light horizontal welding.
Welding Pads Designed to be placed directly under a hot work operation such as welding or cutting and is intended for use in horizontal applications with severe exposures such as those resulting from molten substances or heavy horizontal welding.
