Welding Curtains & Retractable Weld Screens
A welding curtain is a protective tool used to ensure safety during welding processes. These curtains create a visual and physical barrier to protect people in the work environment from the hazards of welding.
Applications and Features:
-
Protection from UV and Infrared Radiation: Welding generates harmful UV and IR rays that can damage the eyes and skin. Welding curtains are made of materials that absorb these harmful rays, preventing them from passing through.
-
Protection from Sparks and Hot Particles: During welding, sparks and hot particles are scattered around. Welding curtains are usually made of heat-resistant materials that can withstand these sparks and particles.
-
Work Area Segregation: These curtains help in separating the workspace and preventing risks to people present in the area. They also stop non-specialized individuals from directly looking at the welding process.
-
Improved Workplace Safety and Hygiene: Using welding curtains not only enhances safety but also keeps the work environment cleaner and more organized.
-
High Durability: Welding curtains are typically made of durable PVC or similar materials that have high resistance and are not easily damaged.
Types of Welding Curtains:
-
Transparent Curtains: These are partially transparent and allow some natural light to pass through while still providing adequate protection from radiation and sparks.
-
Dark Curtains: These curtains are used in environments that require more protection and usually block harmful light completely.
Importance of Use:
Using welding curtains in environments where welding is performed is essential, as not using them can lead to irreversible injuries to people and even damage to equipment.
