272205 - Miller Slag Shade 5 Cutting & Brazing Glasses

Miller Slag Black Safety Glasses (Shade 5) Overview

The Miller Slag Black Safety Glasses (SKU: 272205) are engineered to provide robust eye protection for specific industrial thermal processes. Featuring a Shade 5 Green IR lens, these glasses are specifically categorized for use during oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and soldering operations where infrared radiation protection is required but a full welding helmet is unnecessary. The lenses are manufactured from shatterproof polycarbonate, ensuring high-impact resistance that meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1+ standards. This compliance guarantees that the eyewear provides adequate defense against high-velocity impact and non-ionizing radiation associated with specified tasks.

A key technical feature of the Slag series is the integration of high-end optics treated with an anti-fog coating. This coating significantly reduces moisture buildup on the lens surface, maintaining visual clarity in environments with fluctuating temperatures or high humidity. The optical quality is designed to be distortion-free, which is critical for precision work such as brazing fine joints or following cut lines accurately. The frame utilizes a full-frame, wrap-around design which inherently satisfies ANSI side shield requirements, offering lateral protection against flying debris and sparks.

Ergonomics and user compliance are addressed through the inclusion of rubber temples and a rubber nose piece. These components serve a dual purpose: they enhance comfort by distributing pressure evenly, and they provide a secure grip to prevent the eyewear from slipping during active work. The form-fitting orbital eye coverage further seals the gap between the face and the frame, minimizing the ingress of dust and perspiration. These glasses are an essential PPE component for MRO environments, fabrication shops, and construction sites utilizing gas welding equipment.
