Is SILICAFLEX Blanket – Silica Fiber Roll Reflective Thermal Shield suitable for protecting hoses and cables from molten metal splashes and radiant heat up to +982°C?

Yes — SILICAFLEX Blanket – Silica Fiber Roll Reflective Thermal Shield is suitable for protecting hoses and cables from molten metal splashes and radiant heat up to +982°C. It is made from over 96% pure silica fiber, providing outstanding heat resistance, flexibility and minimal shrinkage for durable protection in harsh industrial environments. The material is smoke- and fume-free, available in multiple thicknesses and widths, and the aluminized version (FQSFB36-36AL) adds a reflective coating that improves deflection of intense radiant heat and increases tear/abrasion, water and oil resistance. Rated for continuous operation up to +982°C and short-term exposure up to +1650°C, it is designed specifically to guard hoses, cables and sensitive components against molten metal splashes, open flames and welding sparks.

Can SILICAFLEX Blanket – Silica Fiber Roll Reflective Thermal Shield be used in confined spaces without generating smoke or toxic fumes during prolonged exposure to high temperatures?

Yes. SILICAFLEX Blanket – Silica Fiber Roll Reflective Thermal Shield is formulated from over 96% pure silica fiber and is described as completely smoke- and fume-free, making it suitable for use in confined or sensitive areas. Its high operating temperature (+982°C continuous, short-term to +1650°C) and resistance to molten metal splashes, radiant heat, flames and welding sparks mean it can withstand prolonged exposure to high temperatures without generating smoke or toxic fumes. For additional protection and durability (tear/abrasion/water/oil resistance and improved radiant reflectivity) consider the aluminized version (FQSFB36-36AL).
