OVERVIEW

High-Performance Infrared Protection for Industrial Applications

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.

Superior Material Construction

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.

Advanced Optical Coatings

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.

Ergonomic Design and Compatibility

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.

FAQ

The Shade 3 lens is specifically designed for applications like grinding, brazing, and oxyfuel cutting where infrared (IR) protection is required, but a full welding helmet shade is too dark.

The KP3758-1 is manufactured to be 0.077 inches thick, which is approximately 90% thicker than the traditional 0.040-inch face shields, providing significantly higher impact resistance.

Yes, the Lincoln KP3758-1 OMNIShield lens meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for eye and face protection.

No, a Shade 3 lens is not dark enough for electric arc welding (MIG, TIG, Stick). It is intended for lower-intensity light sources like gas cutting and brazing.

Yes, the KP3758-1 replacement lens is compatible with all Lincoln Electric OMNIShield headpiece models.

Yes, it features a dual-coating system with an anti-fog coating on the interior to prevent moisture buildup and an anti-scratch coating on the exterior.

The OMNIShield system uses a quick push-and-rotate mechanism, allowing you to remove the old lens and install the new one securely in seconds without tools.
