About Selecting Welding Shades

Designed to fit easily under welding helmets, this respirator has a large surface area, which minimizes breathing resistance. Replace the filter when breathing through these respirators becomes difficult. Separate intake and outflow channels keep exhaled air from saturating the filter, so air remains cool and dry.

Fitted with an N99 filter, this respirator filters out 99% of solid particles. It is not oil resistant.

Powered Air-Purifying Respirators

These mobile respirators filter contaminants to deliver breathable air without the need for an air line connection. The pump sits on your back to allow unrestricted movement, so these respirators are often used in welding, painting, and pharmaceutical applications. Made of Tychem 2000 (formerly known as Tychem QC), these hood respirators have two layers: an outer bib for overspray protection and an inner bib that tucks into your clothing for splash protection. Respirators include a rechargeable lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery that provides approximately four hours of continuous use when fully charged. Respirators have a ratchet suspension that adjusts with an easy-turn knob.

Welding Face Masks

Nomex Aramid

PBI

These face masks are double-layered to protect your head from radiant heat, flames, and welding sparks. They are designed to meet NFPA 1971 standards for structural firefighting.

Nomex aramid is heavier than PBI, yet breathable and moisture wicking.

PBI is lightweight and provides better wear- and heat-resistance than Nomex.

Welding Face Shields

Face Shield

Face Shield with Chin Guard

Face Shield with Flip-Up Welding Lens

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.

Welding Helmets

Providing greater safety while welding than face shields, these helmets have an outer filter lens cover for protection from scratches and weld spatter. All helmets have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob.

Helmets with a flip-up lens let you expose a viewing lens.

Nylon helmets are lighter weight than fiberglass helmets.

Fiberglass helmets provide superior heat resistance.

Leather helmets are flexible, so they’re easy to maneuver in tight spots.

Style B and D helmets have an extended forehead that offers more overhead protection.
