Beta
Coated Welding Blanket
A lighter coated-fiberglass system balancing everyday spark and spatter protection with easy handling.
Product overview
Built around the exposure.
Beta is designed for routine maintenance and fabrication where a coated, easy-to-handle blanket is preferred but the most severe Alpha-level exposure is not required. It gives industrial teams a deliberate step between commodity fabric and heavy-duty protection.
Coated fiberglass construction
Flexible and easy to position
Reduced fraying compared with uncoated fabric
Multiple roll and blanket formats

05What should Beta be compared with?
Compare with Alpha for heavier spatter, more severe handling or a heavy-duty welding blanket requirement.
06Can Beta be identified or matched by colour and nominal weight alone?
No. Colour, appearance, nominal weight and a generic material description do not establish equivalence to Alpha or Beta. Detailed construction specifications are proprietary and intentionally not published. Confirm authentic product by Nische name, part number, supply source and current approval listing.
