Working safely with a VLP welding curtain
During welding, it is of utmost importance to maintain proper precautions. After all, the harmful welding light can cause harm to both skin and eyes. A VLP welding curtain is indispensable in this regard. VLP's non-reflective welding curtains shield the surrounding area from welding light so that the welder can perform his job with peace of mind.
Flexible solutions made of welding grade PVC come in various shapes and sizes, curious which one best suits your needs? Feel free to
Flexible arrangement of a welding site
Welding curtains or welding strips, mounted in a screen or attached to a rail, are designed to shield a welding area quickly and flexibly. These partitions are all made of non-reflective PVC of welding grade. We can use this material to compose an industrial curtain, strip curtain or rolling curtain. In other words, VLP always has the right solution for your welding site.
Welding screens
A commonly used partition for welding areas is a VLP welding screen. This is available, not only as a fixed welding screen, but also as a mobile welding screen. With these welding screens, a temporary welding area can be created quickly and easily. Depending on the situation, these welding screens can be supplied with PVC welding strips or with curtains out of PVC welding film.
Welding curtains and welding rolling curtains
Separations for larger welding areas are no problem either. Options include welding curtains, fixed curtain walls made of welding grade PVC and welding rolling curtains. A weld quality rolling curtain rolls up and down easily and creates a temporary welding area.
Welding strips
Welding grade strip curtains, also known as welding grade flaps, are widely used to screen off passageways. These welding-quality strip curtains are easily mounted on a ceiling and wall and are easy to use. It is also possible to supply the welding strips on a swivel arm or frame. Ideal for shielding a welding area.
Types of welding quality PVC
For VLP welding curtains and welding strips, both PVC strips and welding-grade film are used. These materials are available in 3 colours:
- Red/orange
- Light green
- Dark green
The first two, red and light green, are translucent by nature. Dark green is opaque and suitable for welding processes with very intense radiation, e.g. for between two welding sites or near a welding robot. The welding curtains and PCV welding strips are flame-resistant (DIN53438) and resistant to welding sparks.
Standards
All welding products comply with the updated standard ISO EN 25980 (formerly EN 1598:2011 and AWS F2.3) With this new standard, every working environment is assured of a safe environment. In particular, this standard provides for the safety of people who are not directly involved in welding activities but work in the immediate vicinity.
