3M 7010386299 Auto-darkening Welding Helmet Filter

Product Description

The 3M 7010386299 is an auto-darkening filter designed as a direct replacement lens cartridge for compatible welding helmets. The filter automatically shifts from a light state to a darkened shade when an arc is struck, protecting the welder's eyes from harmful radiation and UV exposure. Constructed from polycarbonate, it meets ANSI Z87.1-2010 optical and impact standards. Licensed welding professionals and fabricators rely on this type of filter to maintain clear sightlines during setup and reliable arc protection during welding. Sold as a single-unit replacement, it fits within the 9000 Series helmet chassis.

This filter is intended for use with the 3M Speedglas 9000 Series welding helmets. It suits light industrial and professional welding environments where a replacement auto-darkening cartridge is needed due to lens damage, end of service life, or upgrade. The polycarbonate construction provides both optical clarity and impact resistance appropriate for shop and field welding applications.
