Welding Face Shields



For full-face protection while welding, select one of these shields. They meet ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ high-impact standards when worn with safety glasses or goggles. All have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob.
Flip-up lenses have a welding shade that raises to expose a viewing lens. These shields are good for cutting and brazing jobs.
Face shields with chin guard provide added protection.

Laser Welding Face Shields

The lens on these shields filters out harmful light to protect your eyes during traditional and laser welding. They meet ANSI Z136.1 specifications for laser safety. The curved design offers better peripheral vision than laser welding goggles and additional face protection from impact, sparks, and radiation. To meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for eye protection, wear these shields with compliant safety glasses. Customize the shield’s fit by twisting the easy-turn knob on the ratchet adjustment.
Visible light is the percentage of visible light that passes through the lens. The lower the percentage, the more light is blocked. Make sure enough light passes through to see your welding work clearly but not so much that it becomes dangerous.
Optical density indicates how much light a lens absorbs at a specific wavelength. The higher the density, the more UV, infrared, and visible light is blocked. Powerful lasers often require an optical density of 5 or higher.
Shade number indicates how much light is filtered by lenses. The higher the shade number, the darker and more protective the lens.

Filter Lenses for Welding Helmets and Goggles
Replace the filter lens on your welding helmet or goggles. These lenses reduce glare and filter out harmful infrared radiation. They are available in shade numbers 4 through 14.
Use green lenses for welding applications. They increase visual contrast so you can see the weld pool without making the environment too dark.
Use cobalt blue lenses for metalworking applications such as torching and brazing. They enhance visibility by filtering out intense light produced during metalworking. Do not use for welding applications.

Colored Filter Lenses for Welding Helmets and Goggles
Improve visibility for more accurate welds than standard welding lenses. These lenses reduce glare and block certain colors to make it less painful to look at your weld. Only use these lenses in combination with standard green lenses in your welding helmet. Do not use them in place of standard welding lenses.
Blue lenses block yellow and orange light and improve depth perception. They’re often used for carbon steel or pipe welding.
Magenta lenses block yellow light and flares better than green and blue welding filters. They are commonly used when welding stainless steel.

Filter Lens Covers for Welding Helmets and Goggles

Protect filter lenses from scratches and weld spatter with these clear covers. For helmets with flip-up lenses, a gasket (sold separately) is required for a proper seal between a 2" Ht. × 4 1/4" Wd. filter lens and the lens cover.

Filter Lenses for Laser Welding Helmets and Goggles
Replace scratched lenses in your laser welding helmet or goggles. These lenses keep harmful UV and infrared light from damaging your eyes. Do not use with regular welding helmets or goggles.
Optical density indicates how much light a lens absorbs at a specific wavelength. The higher the density, the more UV, infrared, and visible light is blocked. To meet ANSI Z136.1 standards for protection from lasers, factor the strength of your laser. Powerful, Class 4 lasers require an optical density of 5 or higher.
Visible light is the percentage of visible light that passes through the lens. The lower the percentage, the more light is blocked.
