Embalex Translucent Safety Welding Curtains

Exposure to ultraviolet, or UV, radiation is harmful to both the eyes and the skin and can result in serious health conditions such as erythema (skin burn) and keratinoconjunctivitis (Arc Eye).

It is vital, therefore, that for complete safety in the workplace, harmful UV radiation produced during industrial processes such as electric arc welding is filtered out to protect personnel in the vicinity not equiped with suitable shielding and eye protection.

Embalex Safety Curtains are designed to provide this protection whilst offering the additional benefits of improved visability and increased safety standards on the shopfloor.

General Description Tough, lightweight, flame-resistant, translucent tinted, nylon-reinforced PVC material. Designed to allow good visible light transmission whilst reducing dazzle and eliminating harmful UV radiation. Provides protection from sparks and flying particles.
