Apex Welding  (0.03 MB)

Apex Welding and Safety Screens have significantly contributed to improved safety in many manufacturing facilities throughout southern Africa. This innovative, locally manufactured p.v.c. screening material is most often used to cordon off welding and grinding bays. The specially formulated material used for Apex Welding and Safety Screens incorporates a heavy duty ultra violet light absorber that ensures dangerous u.v. radiation is safely contained in the curtained off area, protecting workers in the close vicinity. Apex Welding and Safety Screens are also impervious to burning, and this is of particular importance should the material come into contact with welding splatter.

Although the Apex Welding and Safety Screens effectively close off the welding and grinding areas, the patented Balledge® design on the individual strips facilitates easy access both for personnel and equipment.

Extensive tests conducted by the SABS proved the Apex Welding and Safety Screen material is superior to conventional material used for these products.  Tested for ultra-violet transmittance, the conventional material gave readings of 0,005%, 0,008% and 5.0% as opposed to the Apex readings of 0,005%, 0,001 and 0,005%. When tested for total visible light transmittance, the tests were conclusive - the conventional material allowed 78 % while the Apex material allowed only 15,5% light transmittance.

Available in several configurations to suit individual applications, the most popular version is the free-standing frame that facilitates both easy handling and portability. The screens’ angled feet allow optimum utilisation of the floor space as the screens can be butted together at 90 degree angles.
