Protective materials for use during hot work
Cunningham produce clever protective covers for a wide range of hot work procedures. From welding blanket for plumbers to joining pipes in confined spaces, to truly bespoke high temperature protection for welding and grinding on high value assets in the oil, gas and offshore industries. We can provide the exact solution from our range of specialised materials.
Applications include:
-
Welding screens to protect from sparks and splatter.
-
Fire blankets to prevent sparks falling through cracks and other openings and starting fires in other locations.
-
Ducting covers to prevent sparks being carried to distant combustables.
-
Heat protection for pipes etc in contact with walls, partitions and other potential comnustables.
-
Fire rated partitions for long term, segregation of hot work.
Materials
Aluminium pigment coat E glass cloth
E glass cloth is coated with a special flame retardant aluminium pigmented PU which, degrades on exposure to temperatures above 90ºC leaving behind a coating of fine aluminium particles that increase the fabrics resistance to direct heat and increases reflection of radiant heat. The base fabric can withstand continuous temperature of up to 550ºC unstressed. It is ideal for manufacture of smoke and fire curtain and barriers for smoke and fire control, high heat insulation jackets, lagging ducts and exhaust blankets. Available with 1 hour+ fire rating.
Neoprene rubber-coated glass cloth
Our E glass Cloth is coated both sides with neoprene rubber, to provide unparalleled resistance to abrasion, increase flexibility and weather resistance. Neoprene coating is resistance to most chemicals and oils. Ideal of spark and welding splatter protection on high traffic flooring and in outdoor conditions.
Vermiculite treated glass cloth
Woven glass cloth with vermiculite mineral treatment, which melts at high temperature to form an additional layer of protection to the cloth. Good abrasion resistance and insulation properties with high strength compared to other material of similar temperature ranges. Ideal for high temperature applications including anti splash curtains for molten metals, welding spark curtain, heavy duty welding blankets and hot debris collection.
