Signature silicon fire blanket · Visakhapatnam

Silicon fire blankets for Visakhapatnam refinery shutdowns and pharma fire watch

A cover left on a Malkapuram scaffold through a shutdown week is a different piece from the blanket a fire-watch carries to a Parawada permit and hangs back on the hook. This page matches those two jobs to a Signature Silicon Fire Blanket thickness, from DSZSFG0.4 to DSZSFG2.0, and shows when the uncoated fire blanket or a welding blanket belongs on the quotation instead. We make them in Ahmedabad and dispatch to your plant.

When an uncoated fire blanket is enough

Plain Signature Fire Blanket is white uncoated E-glass for a spare that stays in the cupboard. Move to the silicon blanket when the cloth is handled often, or when oil and moisture are part of the job. The silicon face is not a chemical-resistance rating and not a hazardous-area approval.

Shutdown cover or fire-watch piece

Thickness is mass between the sparks and what you are covering. It does not change the colour and, past 0.4 mm, it does not change the listed temperature. Match the row, then open that product to pick coating, colour and size.

Where Visakhapatnam crews hang these blankets

Refinery turnarounds, pharma-city permits and plant outages do not stock the same piece. The heavy cover stays with the job. The light piece stays with the fire-watch.

  • Malkapuram refinery

    Coastal refinery at Malkapuram village, Visakhapatnam — 15 MMTPA

    Hot work:
    Turnaround crews covering pipework, platforms and equipment while grinding and spark work runs for days
    Blanket:
    The cover that stays down takes DSZSFG1.5 or DSZSFG2.0. The fire-watch at the permit carries DSZSFG0.6, red or black, and hangs it back when the permit closes. Sustained welding on that permit is a welding blanket, not this one.

    Start with: DSZSFG1.5 for the cover; DSZSFG0.6 for the fire-watch

  • JN Pharma City, Parawada

    APIIC pharmaceutical zone — 1,531.86 acres, operational, Parawada

    Hot work:
    Maintenance and utility teams keeping a fire-watch blanket at the permit point
    Blanket:
    Stock a light blanket that one person can carry and that shows up on a hook. DSZSFG0.6 in red is the simple start. Grey is the same cloth if visibility is not the point. This is spark and fire-watch cover. The product listing has no hazardous-area rating and no chemical-resistance figure.

    Start with: DSZSFG0.6 in red

  • IDA Parawada

    APIIC industrial development area — 261.75 acres, operational, Anakapalli

    Hot work:
    Fitters moving a cover from job to job inside the Parawada industrial estate
    Blanket:
    A mid-weight blanket for grinding and spark cover that is picked up and laid down through the day. DSZSFG1.0 (1.0 mm, 970 GSM) is the workshop weight. Drop to DSZSFG0.6 if the same person also has to carry it between buildings.

    Start with: DSZSFG1.0

  • Parawada thermal station

    Coal-fired station, 4 × 500 MW — Parawada mandal, Anakapalli

    Hot work:
    Boiler and turbine outage crews laying floor and equipment covers under hot work
    Blanket:
    Outage covers that stay on a floor or scaffold for the shift, with sparks from grinding rather than a weld pool. Start at DSZSFG1.2 (1.2 mm, 1200 GSM). If the cloth will be turned over, name both-side coating on the order.

    Start with: DSZSFG1.2

  • Autonagar, Gajuwaka

    APIIC industrial park — Mindi and Chinagantyada, Gajuwaka

    Hot work:
    Fabrication shops building and repairing parts that go into plant shutdowns
    Blanket:
    Bench and bay spark cover while fitters grind and tack. DSZSFG0.8 (0.8 mm, 900 GSM) is enough for a cover that is folded up at the end of the day. If the bench is under a weld all day, order a welding blanket instead.

    Start with: DSZSFG0.8

  • Atchutapuram APSEZ

    APIIC multi-product special economic zone — 1,949.02 acres, operational, Anakapalli

    Hot work:
    Plant maintenance during shutdowns in the multi-product zone south of the city
    Blanket:
    Covers that move with the permit through the shutdown day, not a piece left in a store cupboard. DSZSFG1.0 is the start. Add a separate DSZSFG0.6 line if the fire-watch needs a blanket of their own.

    Start with: DSZSFG1.0

All eight DSZSFG models

What to put on the shutdown requisition

A fire-watch piece and a scaffold cover are two lines. Size entry is in the custom-size guide. Several lines on one request are in the bulk quotation guide.

Cover or fire-watch
Say whether the blanket stays down on a scaffold or goes out with the fire-watch and comes back to a hook.
Model
A DSZSFG thickness. If you also need the uncoated spare, put DSZFG on its own line.
Colour and coating
Grey, red or black. Single-side or both-side. Red or black if the fire-watch has to see it quickly.
Size and quantity
Length × width in metres, and how many pieces. 1 × 2 metre is the reference, not the only size. Sold per piece.
Welding on the same permit
If the cloth will sit under sustained welding or molten metal, say so. That line is a welding blanket, not DSZSFG.
Plant and date
Address in Visakhapatnam or Anakapalli, and the shutdown or outage date. We confirm dispatch on the quotation.

Made in Ahmedabad, dispatched to Visakhapatnam

Darshan Safety Zone manufactures Signature Silicon Fire Blankets at our Ahmedabad factory and dispatches them to plant addresses in Visakhapatnam and Anakapalli. We do not hold stock or run a branch here. We confirm dispatch for your models and quantities on the quotation.

When the permit is sustained welding

Sparks and light slag sit inside this blanket's job. A weld pool or cutting that leaves molten metal on the cloth does not. Those lines are welding blankets.

Guides for the permit, not the cupboard

Frequently asked questions

Answers for Visakhapatnam refinery shutdowns, Parawada pharma fire-watch, and plant maintenance teams ordering Signature silicon fire blankets.

Which silicon fire blanket should a Malkapuram shutdown keep on the scaffold?

For a cover that stays on equipment or a scaffold across several shifts, start with DSZSFG1.5 (1.5 mm, 1600 GSM) or DSZSFG2.0 (2.0 mm, 2200 GSM). Both are listed at 650 °C to 900 °C, in grey, red or black, with single-side or both-side coating, on a 1 × 2 metre reference size. Both-side coating is the one to name if the blanket gets turned and either face can face the sparks. This is hot-work cover, not a welding blanket for molten metal.

What should fire-watch staff at Parawada pharma city carry to a permit?

A light piece they can carry and hang back on the hook: DSZSFG0.4 (0.4 mm, 460 GSM, listed at 550 °C to 900 °C) or DSZSFG0.6 (0.6 mm, 530 GSM, listed at 650 °C to 900 °C). Red or black is easier to spot than grey; the temperature listing is the same across colours. The listing does not include a hazardous-area rating or a chemical-resistance figure. Use it as fire-watch and spark cover under your site permit.

When is single-side coating enough, and when do we need both sides?

Single-side is enough when one face stays against the floor, lagging or equipment and only the outer face sees sparks and handling. Both-side is for a blanket that gets turned, or where you cannot guarantee which face lands upward — common when a shutdown cover is flipped on a scaffold board. Say which you need on the quotation. Every DSZSFG model offers both coating options.

Does red or black perform differently from grey?

No. Grey, red and black are the same build. Grey is the usual choice. Red and black are for visibility, so a fire-watch blanket is easy to find on a hook or beside a permit board. Pick the colour in the order; it does not change thickness, GSM or the listed temperature.

Can a silicon fire blanket stand in for a welding blanket on a shutdown weld?

For sparks and light slag, yes. Sustained welding spatter and molten metal need a welding blanket — the medium-duty range for bay welding, or the heavy vermiculite-coated range when the metal stays on the cloth. If the permit is grinding and spark cover, stay on DSZSFG. If the blanket will sit under regular welding, order the welding blanket on its own line.

Do all eight DSZSFG models share one temperature listing?

No. DSZSFG0.4 is listed at 550 °C to 900 °C. DSZSFG0.5 through DSZSFG2.0 are listed at 650 °C to 900 °C. More thickness adds GSM and mass; it does not raise the listed top of the range. Confirm the figure on the variant you select before it goes into a requisition.

Is 1 × 2 metre the only size I can buy?

No. 1 × 2 metre is the reference size on every model. Enter the length and width you need, in metres, on the product page. The blanket is supplied at that size and sold per piece. One line per size and model. A fire-watch piece and a large scaffold cover should not share a line.

We already buy DSZSFG0.6 insulation tape. Is the fire blanket the same item?

No. The number can appear on more than one product. This page is the silicon fire blanket, sold per piece against a 1 × 2 metre reference. Silicon FG cloth is roll fabric sold by the square metre. Insulation tape is a different product again. Order from the fire-blanket page, not from the model number alone.

What should we check before the blanket goes out on the next permit?

Look over the coated face and the cloth for burns, holes or coating damage. A damaged coated face protects less than it looks. Retire a compromised blanket. Between permits, keep it dry, flat or loosely rolled, and do not press a sharp crease into the coating — a hard fold is where the silicon layer cracks.

Do you keep silicon fire blankets in stock in Visakhapatnam?

No. Darshan Safety Zone, an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer, makes Signature Silicon Fire Blankets at our factory in Ahmedabad and dispatches to the plant address on the order. We do not hold stock or run a branch in Visakhapatnam. Put the shutdown date on the quotation so we can confirm dispatch for that quantity.

Stocking a Visakhapatnam shutdown or a pharma fire-watch hook?

Send the job, the DSZSFG model, colour, coating, sizes and the plant address. We quote from our Ahmedabad factory and confirm dispatch.
