Product Overview
KASI supplies TecWeld®, fire blankets for welding and heat treating for rent and sale across Canada and Alberta. These fire resistant welding blankets are essential in preheat setups, protecting both welders and insulation systems. Whether you need a fire blanket roll for welding or a single welding blanket for insulation, KASI carries in-stock options ready for immediate delivery.
In field heat treating, fire blankets are widely used for welding pre-heats and grinding operations. They serve two main purposes:
Protecting welders from exposure to insulation fibres.
Shielding insulation and heaters from sparks, hot debris, and grinder dust during weld cleaning and preparation.
KASI recommends using a 17oz silicone-coated fire resistant welding blanket, which combines heat resistance, flexibility, and durability. Fire blankets are available in individual sections or rolls, making them versatile for various site setups.
As Western Canada’s largest in-stock supplier of heat treating equipment and consumables, KASI offers same-day or next-day shipping on welding blankets, insulation blankets, and fire blanket rolls for welding applications.

| Features | TecWeld® RSM is a fiberglass base fabric which has been coated with a specially formulated silicone rubber compound. It provides greater abrasion, puncture and tear resistance to the base fiberglass fabric. The silicone coating provides greater life, oil and water repellency than uncoated fabrics as well as providing low smoke and flame retardancy. | |
