FC0069055 - Shade 8 Orange Welding Curtain, 55x90 Inch with Top Grommets

High-Performance Optical Protection for Industrial Environments

The FC0069055 Welding Curtain is a specialized safety barrier designed to provide superior protection in high-intensity welding and cutting environments. Measuring 55 inches in width and 90 inches in height, this curtain is engineered to shield bystanders and adjacent work areas from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation generated during welding processes. Unlike standard transparent welding curtains which typically offer lower shade ratings, this unit features a Shade 8 rating, making it significantly darker and capable of filtering out more intense light associated with high-amperage MIG/TIG welding or plasma cutting operations.

Constructed from durable, industrial-grade material, the curtain is designed to withstand the rigors of a busy shop floor. It offers resistance to sparks, minor spatter, and abrasion, ensuring a long service life even in demanding conditions. The orange coloration serves a dual purpose: it filters specific wavelengths of light to reduce glare while also acting as a high-visibility safety marker, clearly delineating hazardous welding zones to personnel. This visual barrier is essential for maintaining compliance with workplace safety standards and preventing accidental eye injuries known as "arc eye" or "welder's flash."

Installation is straightforward and secure, thanks to the inclusion of heavy-duty grommets spaced along the top 55-inch edge. These grommets allow the curtain to be easily hung from standard pipe frames, sliding tracks, or S-hooks, providing flexibility in how the welding booth or safety partition is configured. Whether used to enclose a robotic welding cell, separate manual welding stations, or create a temporary safety wall for maintenance work, the FC0069055 delivers reliable performance. Its specific dimensions make it suitable for vertical applications where floor-to-height coverage is required to block low-angle sparks and reflections.

In summary, this Shade 8 Orange Welding Curtain is an essential component for any facility prioritizing optical safety and hazard containment. Its combination of high filtration capability, durable construction, and ease of mounting makes it a versatile solution for protecting personnel and equipment from the hazards of open arc welding.
