Vermiculite Silica Cloth is specially constructed to increase resistance to sparks, splatter and molten metal to high temperatures that retains a flexible quality that is portable, versatile and easy to use. They Support continuous operating temperatures of 1400°C with peak temperatures to 1850°C. The vermiculite treatment gives the cloth added abrasion resistance. Applications can include underfoot gangway covers, anti-splash curtains, insulation protection, heavy duty welding blankets and hot debris collection. It can also be provided with pre-fitted Eyelets
