Wilson 36156 32 oz Silicone-Coated Fibreglass Welding Blanket Dark Red

Product identity

Wilson 36156 is a 32 oz silicone-coated fibreglass welding blanket designed for personnel and equipment protection during hazardous operations. It serves welders, fabricators and maintenance crews who need a durable heat shield that can also function as a hanging curtain. The dark red material resists oil and water while remaining abrasion-resistant in tough shop conditions. Grommets along the edges allow quick vertical mounting when required.

Working temperature

The blanket is rated for a 500°F working temperature, making it suitable for welding, flame-cutting and grinding tasks that generate intense radiant heat. This single limit determines whether the blanket can handle a specific job; operations exceeding 500°F will need a different grade of protection. The coating maintains its integrity at this temperature without melting or releasing harmful fumes. Buyers who need higher continuous heat resistance should look for a product with a higher rated limit.

Build integration

Use the blanket as a flat shield, wrap it around pipe welds for low cooling and tempering, or hang it vertically via the grommets to create a protective curtain. Its oil and water resistance lets it survive splatter and coolant exposure without degrading. The flexible fibreglass base conforms to irregular shapes while the silicone coating adds durability for repeated handling. It frees up rigid screens for fixed stations and provides a portable barrier that can be repositioned as work moves.
