Wilson 36318 Welding Blanket Vermiculite Coated Fiberglass 6x8 ft

Wilson 36318 welding blanket

The Wilson 36318 is a vermiculite-coated fibreglass welding blanket measuring six by eight feet. It shields nearby surfaces, equipment and personnel from sparks, spatter and radiant heat during welding, cutting and hot-work operations. The coating adds abrasion resistance while keeping the material flexible for draping over irregular shapes. Suitable for professional fabricators, maintenance crews and serious hobbyists who need a large, reusable fire barrier.

Thermal protection and handling

The vermiculite coating on the fibreglass substrate reflects and dissipates intense heat, reducing the risk of burn-through on covered surfaces. In normal use the blanket remains pliable, producing minimal dust or fibre release when positioned or folded. It adds negligible weight to the work area and requires no power, ventilation or active cooling, keeping the environment quiet and free of additional energy draw.

Build integration and coverage

At six by eight feet the blanket covers a broad zone, letting one sheet protect large workpieces, adjacent machinery or floor sections without seams. Grommets along the edges allow fastening with wire, magnets or clamps so the shield stays in place during overhead or vertical work. The material cuts cleanly with shears if a custom shape is needed, and it stores flat or rolled, freeing bench space when not in use.
