KP3757-1 - Lincoln OMNIShield Replacement Clear Lens, Anti-Fog/Anti-Scratch, KP3757-1

Lincoln KP3757-1 OMNIShield Clear Lens Technical Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP3757-1 is a premium replacement clear lens designed specifically for the OMNIShield series of face protection gear. Engineered for industrial environments requiring robust impact protection and optical precision, this lens is manufactured from high-density polycarbonate. A defining technical characteristic of this lens is its structural thickness; at 0.077 inches, it is approximately 90% thicker than the industry-standard 0.040-inch face shields. This increased gauge provides enhanced structural integrity and superior high-velocity impact resistance, meeting strict ANSI Z87.1 safety standards.

Optical clarity and longevity are managed through a specialized dual-coating process. The interior surface of the lens features a hydrophilic anti-fog coating that prevents moisture buildup during humid conditions or heavy exertion, ensuring continuous visibility. Conversely, the exterior surface is treated with a hydrophobic anti-scratch hard coat. This exterior layer provides improved abrasion resistance against flying debris, sparks, and particulate matter common in grinding and metalworking applications. The lens geometry is contoured to wrap around the user's face, offering a wide peripheral field of view while simultaneously extending protection to the neck area.

Integration with the OMNIShield headpiece is achieved through a proprietary "push and rotate" mechanism. This design facilitates rapid lens changes without the need for auxiliary tools, minimizing downtime during maintenance. The lens is compatible with the entire range of OMNIShield headgear, making it a versatile stock item for facilities utilizing Lincoln Electric safety systems. It serves as a critical component for personnel in fabrication, chemical processing, and heavy manufacturing sectors.
