1910IR5-PE-10 - Walter Shade 5 Polycarbonate Replacement Visor 19x10 Inch

Advanced Facial Protection for Thermal Processes

The Walter 19" IR5 Polycarbonate Visor is a critical component of personal protective equipment (PPE) designed for industrial professionals engaged in gas welding, oxygen-fuel cutting, and brazing operations. Engineered with safety and durability in mind, this visor is manufactured from high-quality polycarbonate, a material renowned for its exceptional impact resistance and thermal stability. Unlike standard clear visors or lower-grade plastics, polycarbonate provides a robust barrier against high-velocity flying debris, sparks, and molten spatter, ensuring the operator's face remains shielded during intense metalworking tasks.

The defining feature of this visor is its IR5 (Infrared Shade 5) rating. This specific tint is formulated to filter out harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation emitted during gas welding and cutting processes. Prolonged exposure to these rays without adequate protection can lead to serious ocular injuries, including welder's flash and cataracts. The Walter IR5 visor effectively mitigates these risks while maintaining excellent optical clarity, allowing the user to view the weld puddle and flame with precision. The green tint reduces glare, enhancing contrast and reducing eye strain over long periods of use.

Dimensionally, the visor measures 19 inches in width and approximately 10 inches in height. This generous sizing provides comprehensive wrap-around coverage, extending protection to the peripheral areas of the face, ears, and neck. The universal design allows for compatibility with a wide range of standard headgear and brow guard systems, making it a versatile replacement option for existing safety setups. Whether used in heavy fabrication shops, automotive repair, or maintenance departments, the Walter 19" IR5 Visor delivers reliable, compliant protection for high-heat applications.
