How ADFs (Auto Darkening Filters) work
Speedglas auto-darkening welding filters turn dark the moment an arc is struck and transparent again when the welding stops - all the time with full UV/IR protection.

Each Speedglas filter is a laminate of seven different layers: a UV/IR filter (A), three polarizers (B) and three liquid crystal elements (C). The UV/IR filter constantly blocks harmful radiation, whether the filter cassette is ON, OFF, light or dark.

Aided by surface-mounted electronics, the proprietary liquid crystal elements act as shutters that detect and react to the welding arc by instantly becoming either dark or light, as needed.

The level of protection from the UV/IR filter is constant; it equals a shade 13 traditional (non-auto-darkening) welding filter. All Speedglas filters meet European Standard EN 379 for welding eye protection.


Before With the helmet in the safe down position, the welder has a clear view through the filter. Both hands are free and the electrode can be precisely positioned.		During Within 0,1 milliseconds of the arc strike, the filter has switched to the dark state.		After The filter automatically returns to the clear state after welding is complete, allowing for immediate and safe inspection of the weld pool, as well as preparation for the next weld.

	Brand: 3M Model No: 40 81 10 - Shade 10 40 81 11 - Shade 11 Packing: 1 each/case	The first time a welder puts on a Speedglas 9000 helmet with SideWindows you can see his startled reaction. The welder suddenly realizes he can still see around himself. Previously hidden peripheral hazards (beams, obstacles, other workers) are now visible through the two, shade 5 side filters. Welders can quickly and safely move around their work areas. Helmets stay in the safe, down position more often, providing that much more protection from harmful UV/IR radiation.
