This filter is an enhanced version of the AUR^®-92. It has added infrared absorption that the AUR^®-92 does not have.

The AGW^®-300 is a revolutionary new filter designed for hot glass workers that are working at the furnace doing gathers and gazing into firepots as well as scientific and artistic glassworkers who are doing work with clear borosilicate only. This is also an excellend filter for the metal worker who needs high visible light transmission coupled with excellent infra-red (heat energy) filtration as well as sodium flare filtration. Soft glass workers will also find this filter useful to remove the heat energy that you are exposed to while working with large torches and/or large pieces.

The AGW^®-300 is a laminated filter with the same transmission characteristics of our original AGW^®-186 filter. The filter has very good visible light transmission, averaging 60 to 70%, with excellent absorption of the sodium flare.

Suggested uses are: High pressure torches and temperature applications on hard glasses like Pyrex^®, and Vicor^® where high visible acuity is required along with filtration of high amounts of infrared radiation.

Clip ons are available in this filter.

Lenses are available in plano (non-prescription), readers and single vision lenses.
