CEP932-110-11 - Gold Coated Glass Welding Lens Filter Plate Shade 11 4.5x5.25

High-Performance Heat Reflection and Optical Clarity

The Shade 11 Gold Coated Glass Welding Lens is a premium passive filter plate designed for professional welders who demand superior protection and visibility. Engineered with a specialized gold mirror coating, this lens is capable of reflecting approximately 90% of radiated heat (infrared radiation). This feature is critical for high-amperage welding applications where the radiant heat from the arc can cause significant discomfort and fatigue over long shifts. By keeping the interior of the welding helmet cooler, the lens allows operators to maintain focus and productivity for extended periods.

Constructed from high-quality heat-treated glass, this filter plate offers optical clarity that far exceeds standard plastic or polycarbonate alternatives. Glass lenses are naturally more resistant to scratching and pitting, ensuring a longer service life in harsh industrial environments. The lens measures 4-1/2 inches by 5-1/4 inches, fitting standard "large view" welding helmets and flip-front masks commonly used in fabrication and heavy industry.

Beyond heat management, the gold coating technology provides a "true color" viewing experience. Unlike traditional green filters that can muddy the visual spectrum, this gold lens allows for better distinction between the molten weld puddle, the arc, and the surrounding base material. This enhanced contrast aids in precision and weld quality control. The Shade 11 darkness level is ideal for a wide range of welding processes, including MIG, Stick, and TIG welding at moderate to high amperages.

Key Technical Benefits

• Radiant Heat Barrier: The reflective gold layer significantly lowers the temperature inside the helmet.
• Superior Optics: Precision-ground glass eliminates distortion often found in cheaper plastic lenses.
• Standard Fitment: Designed to fit any industry-standard 4x5 (4.5" x 5.25") retaining system.
