Eyelet Style Insulating Blankets were designed to be easily secured in place by using blanket pins, Snap Buttons or Ty-Straps Eyelet blankets are flexible and feature a reinforced beaded edge and eyelets for added strength and tear-resistance.

Salisbury's Type II, SALCOR® blankets will hold their color and flexibility, and will maintain physical properties and dielectric strength, required by ASTM Standard, int he field longer than any other blanket on the market.

Low Voltage Insulating Blankets are made of Type II SALCOR® rubber. Insulating blankets are available with or without hook and pile (Zip) or Plain style, as noted in the chart below.

Covering energized equipment is easier than ever using Salisbury’s Zip-On blankets. Our Zip-On Style (Zip) features one-inch wide strips of hook and pile double stitched to the blanket with nylon thread, so installation and removal is safe and fast. Zip-On blankets can be manufactured to fit special requirements. Contact your Salisbury representative for more information.

The Arc Suppression Blanket is used as a barrier for protection from the explosive and incendiary effects of electrical arcs and flashes. These hazardous electrical discharges can be caused by faults in cables, in cable splices and joints, and at transformer terminals, or they may be generated by the operation of switch gear, circuit breakers and lightning arrestors. The blanket can be used for worker protection in underground vaults, switchyards, and other locations where electrical equipment poses a risk of exposure to explosive electrical discharges. NOT an Insulating Blanket.

Caution
Because of the unpredictability of electrical discharges, the Arc Suppression Blanket may not totally contain arcs and flashes, but only reduce or limit explosive and incendiary effects. In such cases, injuries may still occur, even when the blanket is properly used.

Salisbury has gone to great lengths to protect workers from low voltage electrical hazards, by now offering insulating blanket material on a roll. Salisbury’s insulating Roll Blankets, made from a high strength fabric reinforced Type II rubber, allow workers to custom-cut the blanket to fit each application at the job site. This minimizes the number of different low voltage blankets sizes and shapes that would otherwise need to be carries from job to job. Salisbury’s insulating Type II rubber Roll Blankets, meets NEW ASTM F2320 standards.

Salisbury’s Roll Blanket line includes a Class 1 (7,500v) Clear PVC material that permits complete visibility, yet provides the necessary insulating properties meeting ASTM F1742 standards.

All classes of Roll Blankets are easy to cut, and flexible to -40ºF/C. Highly puncture and tear resistant, each class of blanket is also flame (self-extinguishing), oil, and ozone resistant. Each comes in a convenient 36” wide roll, 30 feet in length in unique colors making it easy to identify and highly visible in the work area.

Roll Blankets are available in full rolls of 30ft. plus or minus 5%.

Switchboard Matting is permanently placed in front of switch gear, motor control centers and other high voltage apparatus to provide personal protection for workers. It is also used when tending take-up and pay out reels and when adding or replacing conductors. Made from high quality Type II rubber, Class 2 matting is 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick and is tested to 20 kV, and Class 4 matting is 1/2" thick and tested to 40 kV. Both Classes of matting comply with ASTM D178, Class 2 and Class 4 specifications. The corrugated surface acts as a safety tread while reducing the possibility of metal particles becoming embedded. Class 2 Switchboard matting is available in 25 yard rolls or custom cut to specified lengths, while Class 4 matting is sold in 20 yard rolls only. Maximum Use AC Voltage Class 2, 17,000 volts, Class 4, 36000 volts.

URD/Switchboard Blanket, 84" x 36", is ideal whenever a large insulating barrier is required to protect electrical workers from brush contact with live electrical apparatus. The URD has 10 eyelets and is made from red Type II SALCOR®, proof tested to 20 kV (or 30 kV for 367-3). The R96 canvas/roll-up carrier is recommended as a ground barrier when URD 367 is used outdoors.
Switchboard matting is available in full rolls. Custom cut lengths, for Class 2 only, are available at a $1.00 per cut. First cut - no charge.

In addition to other uses in the utility industry, Blanket Clamp Pins can be effectively used to hold insulating blankets and rubber cover-up in place. Springs are used for tension while extra holes in the body of the pin are used to grip conductors and prevent line hose from sliding.

The New patent pending 22643 Blanket Pin Extension allows for the worker to easily install or remove the blanket pin at a remote distance with the use of a shotgun stick.

The Salisbury 21 blanket pin is more functional than ever. The new 21 pin has been improved to make it the most versatile pin on the market. Although the 21 pin always opened to accommodate just about any width needed, it has now been redesigned to open to a full 5 1/2". That's the widest of any standard plastic pin in the industry. To accommodate application using a hot stick, the ends of the pin have been tapered to fit into the end of any brand clampstick. This allows the same 21 pin to be installed in line with the stick. For applications where a 90 degree angle of application and removal is necessary, the time proven HS21 pin fills the bill. Look for the new 21 pin to be supplied with your next pin order.

Blanket pins are made of fiberglass reinforced nylon or sliver-free hardwoods. Most pins have molded rubber tips to increase slip resistance.

Blanket Buttons are designed to secure eyelet-style insulating blankets. The B1 button, made of yellow plastic, snaps through the eyelet with thumb pressure on the large head. The bright orange polystyrene B23 two-way buttons are inserted into the eyelets for use with a shotgun clamp stick or standard-duty switch stick.

Magnetic Blanket Buttons are designed for use in eyelets of insulating blankets when covering energized portions in hardto- cover areas like pad mounts, cubicles, switchboards and substations. Four permanent floating magnets are mounted between nickel-plated steel plates. May be applied manually, wearing rubber gloves, or with a shot-gun stick.

Ty-Straps are 14" (356 mm) and 30" (762 mm) long and made of 1 1/2" (38 mm) wide strips of rubber with hook and pile fasteners affixed to each end. The worker simply wraps the Ty-Strap around the positioned blanket and presses the hook and pile ends together. Contact your local Salisbury representative for custom length Ty-Straps.

Burlington's own line of blanket canisters that hold 36 x 36 blankets. Molded handle available for 10" canister. 3 sizes available (10" canister for 6 blankets, 7" canister for 4 blankets, 5" canister for 2 blankets). Available in bright orange, yellow, and grey. Water tight storage to keep your blankets dry and long-lasting. Engraved Burlington Safety Laboratory logo on top of lid.

Yellow, Class 0, Type II Electroliner Insulating Sheeting, 3' x 25' Roll

Burlington Safety's Electroliner insulating sheeting is to be used as a covering (barrier) for the protection of workers from accidental contact with live electrical conductors, apparatus or circuits. It can be custom-cut to fit each application at the job site. This sheeting complies will all requirements of ASTM F2320 and is rated as Class 0, Type II.
