FC0050812F - 8x12 Shade 8 Vinyl Welding Curtain with Grommets

High-Performance Optical Protection for Industrial Environments

The Wilson Safety Curtain Shade 8 (SKU: FC-005-0812F) is an essential safety barrier designed for industrial facilities where high-amperage welding and cutting operations occur. Engineered to filter hazardous ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, this curtain provides a Shade 8 protection level, which is significantly darker than standard orange or yellow screens. This level of filtration is critical for protecting personnel working in the vicinity of plasma cutting, heavy MIG, or TIG welding stations from arc flash and "welder's flash" injuries.

Constructed from durable, flame-retardant vinyl, the curtain is built to withstand the rigors of a harsh industrial environment. The material resists abrasion, tearing, and the incidental spatter associated with welding processes, although it is primarily an optical barrier rather than a thermal shield for heavy slag. The 8-foot by 12-foot dimensions provide substantial coverage, making it suitable for creating large welding booths or partitioning off entire sections of a workshop floor to maintain safety compliance.

Installation is streamlined via heavy-duty grommets placed at regular intervals along all four sides of the curtain. This "finished on 4 sides" design allows facility managers to mount the screen securely to pipe frames, ceiling tracks, or beam supports using standard S-hooks or zip ties. The reinforced hem ensures that the grommets do not tear out under tension, maintaining the integrity of the safety barrier over long-term use. By implementing this Shade 8 curtain, safety officers can ensure compliance with OSHA regulations regarding optical radiation protection in the workplace.
