Pro Line Atomik AGW-300

The AGW-300 filter:

This filter is an enhanced version of our AUR^®-92 filter, featuring added infrared absorption.

The AGW^®-300 filter is 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 do not need or want dark filtered lenses. 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. It consists of a base lens of AUR^®-92 and a thin layer of our exclusive lightly tinted IR filter glass. The filter has very good visible light transmission, averaging 60 to 70%, with excellent absorption of the sodium flare.

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

Lenses are available in plano (non-prescription) and single vision prescriptions.
