Radiation-Impermeable Welding Protective Curtain

A welding protective curtain that blocks ultraviolet and blue light to prevent eye damage.

Physical-Chemical Mode of Action

The radiation-opaque welding curtain is made of materials that completely absorb or reflect ultraviolet and blue light. These materials contain special pigments or crystals that block these wavelengths.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

During welding, laser welding and other high-intensity radiation sources emit ultraviolet and blue light. These rays can seriously damage the eyes, leading to temporary or permanent vision loss. A protective curtain shields bystanders' eyes from these harmful rays.

Workshop Practice & Procedures

Always use the welding curtain when using high-intensity laser welders or other radiation sources. Make sure the curtain fully covers all bystanders' faces with no gaps. Check that the material is not damaged and still effective.
