Shade 8 dark green flame-resistant PVC, 14 mils, for welding

Grade 8 dark green vinyl, 14 mils for welding curtains (sold by the square foot)

This grade 8 dark green vinyl is a protective material specially designed for TIG and MIG welding stations. With a thickness of 14 mils (0.3556 mm), it acts as an effective safety screen against the dangerous light radiation produced during welding operations, while maintaining controlled visibility of the work environment.

Sold by the square foot and cut to size, this material is intended for the manufacture of industrial curtains tailored to the specific needs of each installation.

Minimum order: $75 per type of material

Special features of grade 8 green protective screens

Grade 8 green is recognized as one of the shades offering the best visual comfort for welding. Unlike some brighter colors, it significantly reduces eye strain during prolonged exposure while effectively filtering out harmful rays.

When assembling the curtain, vinyl grommets are attached every 12 inches, allowing for stable and secure installation on existing rails or structures.

Properties of a fire-retardant PVC vinyl sheet

• Grade 8 dark green PVC vinyl
• Thickness: 14 mils (0.3556 mm)
• Flame resistant
• Effective absorption of ultraviolet and infrared rays
• Glare reduction (welding flashes)
• Complies with requirements:
  • OSHA
  • CPAI-84 - California Fire Marshall (registration #F191)

Area conversion

• 1 square foot = 12 in × 12 in = 144 in²
• 1 square foot = 30.5 cm × 30.5 cm = 930.25 cm²

Applications for green welding station materials

• TIG and MIG welding stations
• Manufacturing areas requiring increased visual protection
• Workshops where worker visual comfort is a priority
• Flexible partitions and dividing curtains around welding areas

It is ideal when welding is frequent or prolonged, thanks to its excellent balance between protection and visibility.

Restrictions and limitations on the use of welding curtains

This material is designed for visual protection against radiation and should not be used as a structural barrier or as protection against heavy mechanical projections or direct impacts from molten metal.

⚠️ Does not replace personal protective equipment (PPE).

Maintenance and lifespan of green PVC welding vinyl

To preserve the properties of the vinyl:

• Clean with a soft cloth and non-abrasive soap.
• Avoid aggressive solvents.
• Regularly inspect the eyelets and attachment points.

The lifespan depends on the conditions of use, exposure to heat, and the frequency of welding operations.

Important information for ordering

When placing your order, please be sure to specify:

1. The final dimensions of the curtain (width × height)
2. The location of the eyelets:

• • At the top of the curtain
  • Or around the entire perimeter (outline)

🧭 Help with choosing - Which welding vinyl should you choose?

The choice of vinyl welding curtains depends mainly on the intensity of the welding, the level of visual protection required, and the desired visibility in the working environment.

🔥 Depending on the intensity of the welding

• Intensive and continuous welding (TIG/MIG)
  Grade 8 green vinyl
  Maximum glare reduction and superior eye comfort.
• Regular welding in the workshop
  Standard translucent green or translucent blue vinyl
  Good balance between visual protection and visibility.
• Occasional welding or shared areas
  Translucent orange or yellow vinyl
  Increased visibility for nearby workers.

👁️ Depending on the desired visual comfort

• Priority given to eye comfort and fatigue reduction
  Grade 8 green
• Compromise between protection and brightness
  Standard green or blue
• Priority given to visibility of the environment
  Orange or yellow

🏭 Depending on the work environment

• Permanent welding station: Grade 8 green
• Multi-purpose workshop: Green or blue
• Traffic or observation area: Orange or yellow

⚠️ Good to know

Welding curtains are used to protect nearby workers from:

• UV and infrared rays,
• Glare (“flashes”),
• Light projections.

👉 They are never a substitute for the welder's personal protective equipment (PPE).

FAQs about grade 8 dark green vinyl for welding stations

1. What is grade 8 for welding vinyl?

Grade 8 corresponds to a level of optical filtration designed to significantly reduce glare caused by the welding arc, while maintaining sufficient visibility of the work area. It is particularly appreciated in environments where welding is frequent or prolonged.

2. Why choose grade 8 green vinyl over another color?

Grade 8 green is known to offer better visual comfort than lighter shades. It reduces eye strain and glare, making it an excellent choice for intensive TIG and MIG welding stations.

3. Does grade 8 green vinyl protect against UV rays?

Yes. This material is specially formulated to absorb the harmful ultraviolet and infrared rays generated during welding, while complying with OSHA and CPAI-84 requirements. 

4. Is grade 8 green vinyl fireproof?

Yes. This vinyl is flame resistant and exceeds the fire resistance requirements for industrial welding curtains.

5. Does grade 8 green vinyl replace welding goggles or masks?

No. The welding curtain is used to protect the environment and nearby workers. Welders must always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

6. Is this vinyl suitable for applications other than welding?

It is primarily designed for TIG and MIG welding. For risks related to chemicals, extreme heat, or cold, other industrial certain materials are more appropriate.
