Put the torch to it and it kind of glowed and that was it. No hot spot afterward.Looking forward to using on the job.

It definitely is not made of carbon fiber 🤣🤣. It's cheap and if you are cutting with a torch the spatter goes right through it. Pass on this one

I do not use this for its intended purpose but it does perform quite well for me. I was intentionally looking for something a little thinner to be easier to work with for my intended purpose. Being thin I do not feel i am sacrificing quality. I also flame clean mine with a tourch lighter to remove dust and can confirm it holds up well without any noticeable scorch marks or even discoloration. Although i prefer to buy carbon felt made here in the US, this was a good alternative when money was tight. I may purchase again in the future if needed during "lean times".

I tested this product with a lighter to see if I could get the corner to catch fire and it didn't burn. It did smoked but never caught fire and I could also hold a red charcoal in my hand for 8 to 10 seconds before the heat transferred through enough that I had to put it down. I use this as insulation on top of sound deadener on a transmission tunnel and a headliner. It was extremely effective at blocking radiant heat and preventing heat transfer especially when working with lower temperatures under 500 Degrees.

I bought this to replace a much smaller flame/heat protecting blanket from Oatey that I bought for soldering copper pipes in small spaces next to flamable studs. I tested this with an open MAP-Pro flame, and while it did smoke up a lot more than the Oatey blanket when hot open flame directly directed right on it, it did protect the wood behind it from catching on fire. The other side was warm to the touch after applying open flame to the one side for a few seconds, and there was a visible color change where the flame hit, but the material did not catch fire and it did not get damaged other than just the color change and smoking. After the testing, I used it to cover up a joist in my 30-year-old basement that was just 1/2" (about a cm) from the copper pipe and fitting that I needed to solder together. The blanket protected the decades-old dried wooden joist from any sign of damage. In contrast, when I had worked on the same area about 20 years earlier, I had left a burn mark on the same joist: again, no damage, no burn mark with this blanket protecting the wood behind the workpiece.This generic (or "HANSWAY?") blanket is noticeably thinner than the Oatey blanket that I had been using for almost 20 years (maybe 1/8" vs. 1/4" thickness). However, this product is about two or three times the area (i.e., much larger area) than the Oatey blanket for around the same price. The Oatey blanket was rated for up to 2,500F while this one is rated for up to 1,800F according to the description on Amazon. The Oatey blanket didn't smoke up as much with the MAP-Pro flame directly applied to it, and it also didn't change in color as much. However, both blankets safely protected my house' framing from catching on fire while allowing me to solder copper pipes and fitting less than an inch away from the flammable material.You still have to be very cautious even with this blanket protecting your house while you work: it's rated only to 1,800F according to the website description, and I'm sure that if I had left the open MAP-Pro torch flame directed at it long enough, it would either burn a hole through the blanket or get heated enough on the other side to allow whatever was behind it to catch on fire. It's good enough to protect against the type of welding flame used for soldering of copper plumbing when exposed for a few seconds at a time.

The Hansway high temp is not what I exspected at all. It doesn’t work for my intended purpose. To keep heat away from my body. Maybe I didn’t order the right product. The size is not big enough, not a value for the money.

I bought this to use as wicking for certain homemade alcohol stoves (cat stove). It does the job really well. Undamaged after multiple burn tests and uses. It's extremely soft and easy to use. I easily cut it to size with normal scissors. Sparks and flame do not seem to bother it. At times under significant burn conditions, the fibers "light up" from the heat, but as soon as the flame source is taken away, the fibers stop "burning". I can easily see it protecting surfaces from burns, from catching fire or from spark damage when used by welders, grinders, or pipefitters. Not sure if it is thick enough to avoid proximity ignition due to sustained nearby combustion. That will depend on heat source, humidity, materials, etc.

This welding blanket is soft and manoeuvrable,and works well for those small delicate welding areas to protect against spatter.

Bought this to use when handling a suppressor on an a modern sporting rifle. I had no idea how hot they get during use, and they don’t cool quickly before it’s time to pack up at the range and head home. The first time I used my Mechanix glove, and as can be seen it almost instantly melted the glove. I cut a chunk of this blanket and it worked fantastic! It got warm, but I could easily remove and handle the suppressor. I also cut another chunk to wrap around the end of the muzzle adapter on the rifle before putting that back in the bag as well. Beats $60 suppressor gloves or awkward welding gloves from the hardware store.
