Overview

The LOREX LR-2020WB welding blanket is made from heat- and flame-resistant fabric designed to help protect nearby surfaces during welding. It can be used as a horizontal protective cover laid over equipment and worktops, or hung vertically as a safety curtain to contain welding spatter, slag and flying sparks. This reduces the risk of accidental fire and helps shield heat-sensitive areas.

Suitable for protecting technological equipment and surfaces from heat and flame wherever welding, spatter, slag, sparks or grinding operations take place. Asbestos-free.

Helps prevent damage caused by burrs, spatter and sparks. Thanks to its flexible, foldable structure it can be positioned easily, then folded after use and stored in its dedicated carry & storage bag for the next job. Size: 2m x 2m with stitched edges.

Key Benefits

• Reusable for multiple jobs
• High temperature resistance up to 1300°C (application-dependent)
• Asbestos-free (no asbestos / amiant)
• Unlimited shelf life when stored correctly
• Size: 200cm x 200cm (2m x 2m)
• Can be used horizontally as a cover or vertically as a protective curtain

Typical Applications

• Power plants
• Paper mills
• Oil & petrochemical plants
• Tobacco factories
• Iron & steel plants
• Automotive paint lines
• Gas treatment / purification facilities
• Cement plants
• Shipbuilding / marine industry

Supplied with a Carry & Storage Bag

Carry & storage bags for welding blankets provide important benefits:

1) Portability: Easy to carry between work areas and job sites.
2) Protection: Helps protect the blanket from dust, dirt, moisture and harsh conditions; also reduces the risk of physical damage during transport.
3) Organisation: Keeps the blanket neatly stored and helps keep other welding equipment organised for quick access.
4) Hygiene & Cleanliness: Helps keep the blanket clean by shielding it from dirty environments.
5) Long Service Life: Proper folding and storage helps prevent deformation and preserves performance.

What Are Welding Blankets Used For?

LOREX welding blankets are used to help protect the surrounding area and personnel during welding and other hot-work operations. They are especially useful where flammable materials or gases may be present, as they help contain hot sparks and spatter. These blankets are engineered to withstand high temperatures, helping to block heat and reduce fire risk.

A welding blanket can be laid over combustible items or hung around the work area to prevent sparks from spreading and to reduce the risk of ignition. It can also help stop hot metal droplets from falling or splashing onto vulnerable surfaces.

Welding blankets are a key part of basic hot-work safety—helping keep the working environment under control and lowering the likelihood of accidental fires.

Horizontal Cover vs Vertical Curtain: Key Advantages

Using a welding blanket horizontally or vertically offers different practical advantages:

Advantages of Horizontal Use

• Coverage: Laid flat, the blanket can cover a wider footprint and reduce spark spread across surfaces.
• Floor / surface protection: Helps protect floors and worktops by absorbing the impact of falling sparks and hot metal.
• Surrounding protection: Helps shield nearby objects, materials, equipment and furniture from spatter and radiant heat.

Advantages of Vertical Use (as a curtain)

• Personal & area protection: Creates a barrier that shields people and nearby equipment from sparks and hot particles.
• Airflow control: Can reduce the effect of wind or drafts, helping contain sparks and improving control during welding.
