Athena is a glas-filament-fabric with a specially formulated grey fire-retardant PU-coating on both sides with aluminium pigments to increase the anti-slip properties and resistance to fraying. Athena is recommended for vertical use, for example, as a welding and grinding curtain in situations in which high temperatures are reached or as a welding blanket for situations with fewer high temperatures. Athena is free of asbestos. The maximum application temperature is 550°c, shortly up to 600°c.
