Welding Fabrics

Welding fabrics for spark and fire protection

Z-Shield™ Welding fabrics are used in industries like shipbuilding, power generation, chemical processing, oil and gas for welding spark protection for both people and equipment, molten metal splatter, and hot works operations. Z-Shield™ Welding fabrics are woven from fiberglass yarns and coated with a fire-resistant acrylic for superior resistance sparks, abrasion, slag, and burn-through.

Z-Shield™ F-407 Salmon is the most popular Newtex welding fabric. The salmon welding blanket is lightweight, at 15 oz, making it ideal for vertical spark protection. The salmon color is the industry standard for welding curtains used in shipbuilding and ship repair.

In addition to Z-Shield™ Salmon, we offer a variety of welding fabric styles to support applications ranging from light welding and grinding to heavy welding, metal cutting, and stress relieving. In response to NFPA 51B, Z-shield™ Welding fabrics have been tested to meet ANSI / FM4950. The tests are intended to evaluate materials being used in hot works operations. In addition to Z-Shield™, we manufacture a number of other high temperature roll goods that are commonly used for welding protection.
