Phillips Safety’s commitment to providing optimal protection for welders extends to our range of welding glasses, available in two distinct lens colors: green, also known as athermal, and cobalt blue. Each lens color offers unique advantages tailored to meet the diverse needs and demands of welders across various industries.

Green Lenses

Phillips Safety’s athermal welding lenses offer a balanced shade that effectively shields the eyes from intense light and harmful radiation emitted during welding processes.

These lenses feature a green tint, which reduces glare and enhances visibility without compromising on protection.

Ideal for general welding applications, green lenses provide comfortable viewing and ensure clarity in various work environments.

Cobalt Blue Lenses

Phillips Safety’s cobalt blue welding lenses are engineered to provide superior protection against intense light and radiation while optimizing visual contrast.

With a deep blue tint, cobalt blue lenses offer enhanced clarity and contrast, making them ideal for tasks requiring precise control and detail work.

These lenses excel in applications where accurate color perception and visual acuity are essential, such as working with reflective surfaces or intricate welding.

Understanding Filter Shades

The darkness level and protection provided by welding glasses are determined by their filter shades. Phillips Safety provides green welding glasses with shades ranging from 2.0 to 8.0 and cobalt blue glasses with shades ranging from 4.0 to 8.0. Each shade is carefully selected to suit particular welding processes and varying intensities of light.

Lower filter shades (e.g., 2.0 to 4.0) are suitable for light welding tasks, providing adequate protection without compromising visibility.

Higher filter shades (e.g., 6.0 to 8.0) offer increased darkness and protection, making them suitable for high-intensity welding processes such as arc welding or oxy-acetylene cutting.
