272209 - Miller Slag Series Shade 5 Cutting Glasses - White Frame

Industrial Grade Eye Protection for Hot Work

The Miller Slag Series Safety Glasses (SKU: 272209) are engineered to provide critical protection for professionals engaged in oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and gas welding operations. In industrial environments where infrared (IR) radiation and high-intensity light are present, standard clear safety glasses are insufficient. These glasses feature a Shade 5.0 lens, which effectively filters out harmful radiation generated during these specific thermal processes, preventing eye fatigue and potential long-term damage such as welder's flash.

Compliance and safety are paramount in the design of the Miller Slag series. The lenses are constructed from durable, impact-resistant polycarbonate that meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1+ standards for high-velocity impact protection. This ensures that the wearer is shielded not only from optical hazards but also from flying debris, sparks, and slag that are common in metalworking shops. The full-frame design wraps around the face, offering superior orbital coverage compared to standard flat spectacles, thereby reducing the risk of particulate matter entering from the sides.

Comfort is a key factor in ensuring PPE compliance among the workforce. Miller has designed the Slag series with ergonomics in mind. The glasses feature rubberized temples and a soft rubber nose piece that prevent slipping, even when the wearer is perspiring. The lightweight construction minimizes pressure points, allowing for extended wear during long shifts without discomfort. The distinct white frame not only adds a level of visibility but also differentiates these specialized cutting glasses from standard clear eyewear, making it easier for safety officers to verify that the correct PPE is being used for the task at hand.

These glasses are an essential addition to any personal protective equipment inventory for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and construction sites utilizing oxy-fuel or plasma cutting equipment. They provide the necessary optical density for safety while maintaining a clear enough view of the workpiece to ensure precision and quality in the finished cut or braze.
