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.

Questions about this item
How do I position the 6 ft by 8 ft blanket to protect the work area?
Lay the blanket flat with the vermiculite-coated side facing the sparks, allowing the edges to extend beyond the weld zone so molten metal cannot roll underneath.
Does the vermiculite-coated fiberglass need any cleaning or replacement after repeated use?
Brush off loose slag after each job; if the coating wears thin or the fabric frays, replace the blanket because the protective layer cannot be restored.
What temperature or exposure limit will the blanket reach first during a long welding session?
The vermiculite coating shields the fiberglass up to its rated continuous temperature; once that limit is exceeded the base fabric begins to degrade.
