Ultraviolet Radiation Protection Curtain

An ultraviolet radiation protection curtain absorbs UV-C light and protects people from glare and burns.

Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action

Ultraviolet (UV) protective curtains are made of special materials that completely absorb UV-C radiation. These materials have a high absorption capacity for short-wave UV light and prevent this radiation from passing through.

Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding

UV-C radiation can cause severe skin burns and harmful glare effects. Without protection, eyes and respiratory tract can also be damaged. A lack of protective curtains increases the risk of burns and health problems in the workshop.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Always use a certified ultraviolet protective curtain when working with welding equipment. Make sure the curtain completely covers the arc zone without gaps. Regularly inspect the condition of the curtain for damage or contamination.
