Safety welding booth with radiation protection

A welding booth with light-absorbing walls and integrated extraction, providing protection against glare, UV radiation, and smoke.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

The safety welding booth has light-absorbing, low-reflectivity walls that absorb UV radiation and visible light waves. The integrated extraction system prevents welding fumes and other dust particles from accumulating in the area.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

UV radiation can damage eyes and skin, while welding fumes contain toxic gases. Without protection, these elements can lead to health problems. The booth also prevents bystanders from being exposed to direct smoke.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use the booth when working with high-intensity welding processes such as laser welding or TIG welding. Make sure all walls are fully covered and the extraction is always running. Always wear protective clothing and eye protection.
