The Lincoln Electric Replacement OMNIShield™ Lens (KP3758-1) represents a significant advancement in personal protective equipment for high-heat industrial tasks. Engineered specifically for environments requiring infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) attenuation, this Shade 3 lens is the definitive solution for professionals engaged in grinding, brazing, and oxyfuel cutting. Unlike standard clear face shields which offer limited protection against the radiant energy emitted during these processes, the KP3758-1 filters harmful wavelengths while maintaining excellent visible light transmission for precise work.
At the core of this lens is a premium, high-density polycarbonate material designed for extreme durability. Lincoln Electric has engineered this lens to be 0.077 inches thick—approximately 90% thicker than the industry-standard 0.040-inch shields. This substantial increase in material density translates directly to enhanced impact resistance, providing a robust barrier against flying debris, sparks, and high-velocity particles common in metalworking environments. The lens meets strict ANSI Z87.1 standards, ensuring it withstands the rigors of heavy industrial use.
Optical clarity is paramount for safety and efficiency. The KP3758-1 features a sophisticated dual-coating system to address common visibility challenges. The interior surface is treated with a high-performance anti-fog coating, preventing moisture buildup from breath or humidity that can obscure vision during strenuous tasks. Conversely, the exterior surface boasts a hard anti-scratch coating, protecting the lens from abrasions caused by grit, dust, and cleaning, thereby extending the service life of the consumable.
Designed to integrate seamlessly with the Lincoln OMNIShield headpiece system, this replacement lens utilizes a modern contoured shape. This geometry not only facilitates a panoramic field of view but also extends coverage to the neck area, reducing the risk of burns from radiant heat or stray sparks. The installation process is engineered for efficiency; a simple push-and-rotate mechanism allows operators to swap lenses in seconds without the need for auxiliary tools, minimizing downtime and ensuring that safety protocols are easily maintained.
