0415200027 - ESAB Orange Welding Curtain 1.8m x 2.4m ISO 25980

Industrial Safety and Compliance for Welding Environments

The ESAB Orange Welding Curtain (SKU: 0415200027) is a critical component for establishing safe, compliant, and efficient welding environments within industrial facilities. Designed to mitigate the hazards associated with open arc welding, this curtain serves as a primary engineering control to protect passersby and adjacent workers from the harmful effects of actinic light, specifically ultraviolet (UV) and blue light radiation. Measuring 1.8 meters in width and 2.4 meters in height, this curtain is sized to fit standard welding booth frames, providing substantial vertical coverage to prevent accidental flash exposure.

Manufactured from high-quality, self-extinguishing PVC, the curtain meets the rigorous requirements of European Standard EN 1598 and the international ISO 25980 standard. These certifications ensure that the material not only filters optical radiation effectively but also possesses the necessary flame-retardant properties to withstand incidental contact with sparks and light spatter without sustaining combustion. The material thickness is engineered to provide durability against mechanical wear while remaining flexible enough for easy retraction when access is required.

The translucent orange coloration is strategically selected to offer a balance between protection and visibility. While it effectively blocks hazardous wavelengths generated by the welding arc, it allows sufficient light transmission for supervisors to monitor the welder's activity and safety from outside the booth. This transparency reduces the feeling of isolation for the welder and enhances overall shop safety by preventing collisions at blind corners. The curtain features a reinforced hem along the top edge, equipped with durable eyelets and supplied with suspension rings, facilitating rapid installation onto existing pipe structures or rail systems. By integrating ESAB welding curtains into your facility's layout, you ensure a safer workflow, reduce the risk of 'arc eye' injuries among non-welding personnel, and maintain compliance with occupational health and safety regulations.
