Canvas has a dense, heavier woven structure that gives it good strength and resistance to abrasion. Once treated for flame resistance, the fabric can withstand welding sparks, light spatter and hot particles, with a firm construction that provides better resistance against penetration by welding debris.

Flame-retardant canvas is suitable for welding curtains, screens and fixed protective barriers. The thick, tightly woven fabric not only helps contain sparks and welding debris, but also provides a barrier against heat and reduces exposure to welding arc light. Its durability and affordable cost also make canvas an economical material choice for welding screens and other workspace protection products.
