What are the requirements for protective face shields in metallurgical plants?
In steel mills and foundries, face shields must survive 1,000 °C splash, 25 kW/m² IR and 6 J impacts. Our shield is built on solid materials, not promises.
Materials & Construction
Lens: 2 mm polycarbonate + nano-ceramic coat, reflects 88 % IR, 30 s @ 900 °C direct splash .
Frame: 7075-T6 aluminium, T6-hardened, -30 °C to +250 °C cycles without deformation.
Edge: Kevlar thread + stainless rivets, prevents burn-through after 8,000 furnace cycles .
Gasket: medical-grade silicone, ASTM F1862 blood-penetration pass, -40 °C to +250 °C elasticity.
Performance Data
IR reduction: 15 °C on operator's face, cutting heat-stress breaks 12 %.
Impact: ANSI Z87.1+ medium-impact, 6 J steel-ball at -5 °C.
Fit: bayonet mount, APF 1,000, clicks onto any helmet in <2 s.
