Technology Details
All-Round Physical and Thermal Protection
The protector is made of thick yet flexible natural leather, which is inherently flame-retardant. It is a very effective mechanical barrier that shields the sensitive areas of the head, ears and neck from glowing metal spatter, produced above all in MIG/MAG and MMA welding and plasma cutting. Its design is particularly valuable in out-of-position work such as overhead welding (PE/PF), where gravity makes molten metal fall straight onto the welder. The material also insulates effectively against the intense radiant heat of the welding arc. Investing in this protector is a direct investment in preventing painful and dangerous burns.
Barrier Against UV/IR Radiation
Even brief exposure of unprotected skin to ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation reflected from surrounding surfaces can cause serious burns, comparable to sunburn. The leather protector forms an impermeable barrier that fully blocks this harmful radiation and protects the skin of the neck and ears. It is a fundamental part of health protection that prevents not only immediate discomfort but also long-term harm to the skin. Full protection against radiation is a professional approach to safety and protects your health for years to come.
Precise Integration with Optrel Helmets
Unlike universal solutions that do not fit properly, the 4028.016 protector was designed to integrate precisely with the mounting systems of Optrel Panoramaxx, Sphere, Liteflip and Y series helmets. Dedicated attachment points ensure a stable, tight connection to the helmet shell and eliminate the risk of gaps through which spatter or radiation could get in. As a result, the protector does not restrict head movement or interfere with raising and lowering the helmet. It is an investment in comfort and an uninterrupted work cycle, with no need to keep adjusting makeshift protection.
