Welding and Arc Flash Dyes
Welding and Cutting
Arc, flame, and laser cutting and welding operations produce potentially harmful ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation that can damage the human eye. For these operations, quality certified eye protection is required which reduces the intensity of the light and radiated energy. Epolin produces Epolight™ dye formulations and formulated ready to mold Luminate™ pellets that will assist you in meeting the following Welding standards:
- ANSI/ISEA Z87.1
- AS/NZS 1338
- EN 169
- ISO 16321
Epolin products meet or exceed OSHA and American Welding Society standards from shade 1.2 up to shade 14. These products come in a range of lens colors and are suitable for use in safety glasses, goggles, face shields, and helmets. These dyes and ready to mold pellets can also be extruded into sheets to make protective windows.
Arc Flash
An arc flash is a dangerous electrical explosion that occurs when an electrical current passes through the air between two live conductors. The result of this arc is a release of intense radiated energy which Epolin dyes can help absorb and mitigate. Contact Epolin for assistance with designing your eye protection PPE products for Arc Flash. These products are available as a Epolight™ dye formulation or Ready to mold Luminate™ pellets.
