In addition to the aforementioned damage to the eyes by bright light, the harmful radiation from ultraviolet and infrared rays generated by the arc can also cause irreversible damage to the eyes. Metals melted or even vaporized by high heat during work will escape into the air through heat, and when we inhale air containing metal powder, it will have a serious impact on our respiratory system. When working, you also need to pay attention to the damage caused by splashes and harmful objects caused by high temperatures to avoid burns.

Under today's industrial technology and strict national standards, welding masks can not only provide good protection. Effectively reduce facial burns, eye inflammation and pneumoconiosis caused by welding operations. At the same time, it can also perform precise welding operations in high-brightness arc light.
