OVERVIEW

Essential Eye Protection for Gas Welding and Cutting

At Josef Gas, we understand that proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is the first line of defense in any industrial environment. These Shade 5 Green Safety Glasses are an essential safety tool for professionals engaged in oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and soldering operations. Unlike standard clear safety glasses, the Shade 5 green lenses are specifically engineered to filter out the harmful infrared (IR) and ultraviolet (UV) radiation generated during gas welding processes, preventing eye strain and potential long-term damage.

The glasses feature a classic "303" style frame, often referred to as "old school" for its no-nonsense, robust design. This frame style has been a staple in the industry for decades because of its durability and reliability. Constructed from high-impact polycarbonate, the lenses provide excellent protection against flying debris, sparks, and spatter that are common in metalworking shops. The material is lightweight yet incredibly tough, ensuring that the glasses can withstand the rigors of daily industrial use without weighing down the wearer.

Peripheral vision protection is just as critical as frontal protection. These glasses come equipped with integrated side shields that close the gap between the frame and the face, preventing particles from entering the eye area from the side. Whether you are working in a busy fabrication shop, a garage, or on a construction site, these glasses offer the secure fit and comprehensive coverage needed to work with confidence. They are an economical yet high-performance solution for maintaining safety compliance and protecting your most valuable asset—your vision.

Key Applications

  • Oxy-Fuel Cutting: Filters bright glare and radiation.
  • Brazing & Soldering: Protects eyes from heat and light intensity.
  • General Metalworking: Impact protection from grinding sparks (when used with face shield) and debris.

FAQ

Shade 5 glasses are specifically designed for oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and gas welding. They reduce the glare from the flame and protect against UV and IR radiation produced during these processes.

No. Shade 5 is too light for electric arc welding processes like MIG, TIG, or Stick. You need a welding helmet with a much darker shade (typically Shade 10-13) for arc welding to prevent arc eye and retinal damage.

The lenses are made of polycarbonate, a type of plastic that is extremely impact-resistant and lighter than glass, making them safer and more comfortable for industrial use.

Yes, this model features integrated side shields or side panels to protect your eyes from flying debris and sparks entering from the periphery.

It depends on the size of your prescription frames. These are generally designed as standalone safety glasses. For wearing over prescription eyewear, 'OTG' (Over-The-Glass) specific models are usually recommended.

Wash with mild soap and warm water, then dry with a soft, lint-free cloth or a dedicated lens cleaning tissue. Avoid using abrasive paper towels or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the lens coating.

Most industrial safety glasses of this type are manufactured to meet ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact resistance and optical clarity. Please check the markings on the frame or lens for specific certification details.
