Question 1

What is Signature Silicon Fire Blanket used for?

Accepted Answer

Silicon-coated fire blanket for welding, grinding and hot-work duty — covering equipment, floors and work areas against sparks, slag and spatter. The coating seals the weave so the blanket handles oil, moisture and repeated handling better than plain glass cloth, which is why plants specify it over the uncoated Signature Fire Blanket for busy bays.

Question 2

Which models can I order?

Accepted Answer

Eight thickness builds from 0.4 mm to 2.0 mm — DSZSFG0.4 through DSZSFG2.0 — with weights from 460 GSM up to 2200 GSM. Every model lists grey, red and black colour options and single-side or both-side coating on a 1 × 2 metre reference size.

Question 3

What temperature is each model rated for?

Accepted Answer

DSZSFG0.4 is listed at 550 °C to 900 °C. All other models — 0.5 mm through 2.0 mm — are 650 °C to 900 °C. Match the model to your duty and check the figure on the variant you select.

Question 4

How do I order it and what size do I get?

Accepted Answer

Enter length and width in metres on the product page. The blanket is supplied at that size, sold per piece. The 1 × 2 m in the specification is the reference format — order the dimensions that fit your bay, bench or equipment footprint.

Question 5

Should I take single-side or both-side coating?

Accepted Answer

Single-side is enough when one face sits against a surface and only the outer face sees heat, sparks and handling. Both-side is worth it when either face can be exposed — reversible covers, blankets that get turned, or work where you cannot guarantee which side lands upward. Confirm which you need when you order.

Question 6

Why are red and black listed alongside grey?

Accepted Answer

Performance is the same across the three colours. Grey is the usual stock choice. Red and black are often picked for visibility — marking hot work zones, welding curtains, or blankets you want to spot quickly on a busy shop floor.

Question 7

Which thickness should I pick?

Accepted Answer

More thickness means more GSM and more mass between the spatter and what you are protecting. DSZSFG0.4 at 460 GSM suits light spark cover and blankets you move often. DSZSFG1.0 at 970 GSM is a common workshop build. DSZSFG2.0 at 2200 GSM is what sites specify when the blanket stays down all week under heavy grinding or overhead work.

Question 8

How is this different from the plain Signature Fire Blanket?

Accepted Answer

The plain blanket is uncoated E-glass — lower cost and fine for general fire watch and light spark cover. This silicon-coated range adds a sealed face that resists oil, splash and handling wear. Move here when the blanket faces regular hot work rather than occasional cover duty.

Question 9

Can I use it instead of a welding blanket?

Accepted Answer

For sparks and light slag it will do the job. Sustained welding spatter and molten metal contact are welding-blanket territory — vermiculite-coated DSZVCF or medium-duty DSZMDWB builds. If the blanket sits under regular welding rather than occasional sparks, specify the welding blanket instead.

Question 10

How does this differ from Signature Silicon FG Cloth?

Accepted Answer

Same DSZSFG code family, different product. This page is the fire blanket — finished cover sold per piece against a 1 × 2 m reference with 2D sizing. Silicon FG Cloth is roll fabric sold by the square metre from 1 × 50 m rolls. Order by product page, not model number alone.

Question 11

What should I check before each use?

Accepted Answer

Look over the coated face and the fabric for burns, holes or coating damage. A blanket with a compromised coated face gives less protection than it looks like it does. Store dry, flat or loosely rolled, and avoid sharp folds that crack the silicon layer along a crease line.
