Lampworking – Sodium Flare Polycarbonate Face Shield with Sodium Flare Plastic Front

Designed with comfort in mind, the Lampworking – Sodium Flare Polycarbonate Face Shield with Sodium Flare Plastic Front can be worn over safety glasses or eyeglasses. The adjustable headgear fits all sizes and makes the Phillips face shield easy to wear. The Face Shield has a sodium Flare absorption plastic front with a Scratch coating applied to the front of the shield.

This polycarbonate is very efficient in filtering sodium flare in addition to providing good ultraviolet protection.  It is very comfortable for viewing under high ambient light conditions such as when working with glowing heat sources for a duration of time. Also, although it has a relatively low luminous transmission of 38%, it is not recommended for glassworking where Infrared protection is needed.  This filter is more for soft glass usage

Lampworking is a type of glasswork in which a torch or lamp is used to melt the glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements. It is also known as flameworking or torchworking, as the modern practice no longer uses oil-fueled lamps.
