Face Shields are Made from Clear Durable PETG Plastic

Features

• Made from 0.02" Thick Clear PETG Plastic
• Durable, Lightweight, and Chemically Resistant
• One-Size-Fits-All Design
• Suitable for Repeated Use

Thorlabs’ Face Shield is constructed from 0.02” thick clear PETG plastic, which provides good visual clarity and chemical resistance. A key feature of the face shield is the sloped top, which gives protection from contaminates that may come over the top of the face shield while still allowing for breathability and resistance to fogging. Four grommets are incorporated into the design, ensuring that the lightweight construction withstands the rigors of everyday use.

A 1" wide elastic strap holds the face shield securely in place, and a removable latex-free foam insert along the forehead (approximately 1" wide x 4" long) provides added comfort when wearing the shield for an extended period of time. If desired, the foam insert, which is held in place on each end with a hook-and-loop fastener, can be removed and discarded should the mask need to be sanitized in a steam or chemical bath between uses. Replacement foam inserts are available for purchase separately.

While not formally submitted for clinical review, this protective face shield was developed to mimic the features and functionality of those used in the medical industry. The simple construction allows large quantities to be manufactured and distributed in a short period of time.
