Grey tint for welding filter lens

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.

The new range of welding filter lenses, which come in three shades of grey, feature the permanent anti-fog lens coating technology uvex infradur AF,  which prevents the inside of the lenses misting up. A scratch-resistant coating on the outside of the lens gives high levels of protection against damage from welding sparks.

The grey lens is said to provide increased impact protection, in contrast to the old-style green welding lens.

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.
