VS-222-O - Agos Gold Vinyl Strip Curtain 60x50 with 2-Inch Overlap

Technical Overview of the Agos Gold Welding Strip Curtain

The Agos AGOVS-222-O is a specialized safety barrier designed for industrial welding environments where traffic flow and safety must coexist. This strip curtain system covers an opening of 60 inches in height and 50 inches in width, making it suitable for specific booth entryways, window coverings, or machinery enclosures. The system utilizes high-quality PVC vinyl strips that are 8 inches wide and possess a nominal thickness of 0.080 inches. This gauge of vinyl provides substantial resistance to physical abrasion, tearing, and the thermal impact of incidental welding sparks and spatter.

A critical feature of this configuration is the 2-inch overlap between adjacent strips. In strip curtain mechanics, the overlap is essential for maintaining the integrity of the barrier. A 2-inch overlap on 8-inch strips ensures that the curtain effectively seals against airborne contaminants, fumes, and, most importantly, the direct line-of-sight transmission of ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation generated during arc welding processes. Without this overlap, gaps could form as strips sway, potentially exposing passersby to arc flash.

The "Gold" (often referred to as Amber or Orange) tint is engineered with specific optical properties. It acts as a spectral filter, significantly attenuating the hazardous blue light and UV wavelengths associated with welding arcs, while permitting safe visible light to pass through. This allows for "supervised safety," where the welder is protected from the outside environment, and external personnel can visually verify the welder's status without the risk of "welder's flash." The vinyl material is also formulated to be fire-retardant, self-extinguishing, and resistant to many common industrial chemicals and oils.

This product is ideal for MRO applications where existing rigid screens impede workflow. The strip format allows for the passage of parts, carts, and personnel without the need to manually open or close a door, thereby increasing operational efficiency while maintaining strict safety compliance.
