PowerWeld PW18B68UC 6′ x 8′ 18oz Fiberglass Welding Blanket (FM Approved)

The PowerWeld PW18B68UC is a 6 ft by 8 ft, 18 oz uncoated, heat-treated fiberglass welding blanket built for light-duty hot work. The woven fiberglass stands up to sparks and light spatter while remaining flexible enough to drape over equipment, flooring, and work surfaces. Because it’s uncoated and made with low-irritation yarns, the blanket handles easily, folds compactly, and conforms to awkward shapes without getting stiff or brittle. Reinforced hems and perimeter grommets make it simple to hang as a spark curtain or tie off to stands and frames around a welding cell.

Rated for service temperatures up to 550°C (1022°F) with a melting temperature of 1200°C (2192°F), the PW18B68UC is well suited to vertical welding with light sparks and spatter, basic heat-treat shielding, and general light fabrication tasks. It’s FM Approved, giving shops and safety managers added assurance for use in maintenance bays, auto repair, and home garages where a reliable fiberglass welding blanket is needed for day-to-day protection.
