Grey is the New Green for uvex’s Breakthrough Welding Filter Lens Full Colour Recognition and No Misting while Welding

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

uvex is the first company to develop a unique grey-tint welding filter lens, which not only gives 100% ultraviolet and infrared protection and reduces glare but also gives perfect natural colour recognition in accordance EN172, unlike traditional green-tint welding lenses, which can alter colours.

Correct
colour vision is vital in welding tasks where safety can depend on the correct
recognition of colours in safety signs and signals, in areas such as foundries,
steelworks, aerospace or engineering. According to the HSE, a
person with a colour vision defect perceives a wide range of different colours
as being the same, and often is not aware of their defective colour vision
until costly mistakes are made.

 

Brand new to the market, uvex’s new
range of grey welding filter lenses, which come in three different shades of
grey, is also the first to featurethe permanent anti-fog lens coating
technology uvex infradur AF, which prevents the inside of the lenses
misting up. And the exceptionally scratch-resistant coating on the outside of
the lens gives excellent levels of protection against damage from welding
sparks.

 

The grey lens provides increased impact protection, in
contrast to the old-style green welding lens, in which the green tint could
weaken the mechanical strength of the lens.

 

Because
of its revolutionary qualities, the comfortable new grey lens ensures wearer
compliance and so increases safety and health in the workplace, fully
protecting the wearer’s eyes during the welding process.

 

 

 

The
range comprises uvex’s popular spectacle, uvex super fit welding, the fully
adjustable uvex i-vo welding spectacle, the uvex super F OTG welding over spec
and the uvex ultrasonic flip up welding goggle. They all come with different
welding lens shade options.
