Prolonged operation of equipment emitting UV light could cause burns to eyes and face. The Clear UV Protective Face Shield absorbs the UV energy before it reaches the worker. The face shield provides extended protection from 200nm to 400nm. Other face shields making similar claims may protect only from 200nm to 365nm. This makes it ideal for environments where standard safety glasses or a basic UV face shield fall short.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes a UV-Blocking Face Shield Different From a Standard Face Shield?
A UV-blocking face shield is designed to filter harmful ultraviolet radiation that ordinary shields don’t stop. Unlike basic PPE, a UV-blocking face shield protects your skin and eyes from exposure to UV radiation from UV lamps, curing systems, and other industrial sources.
Does the UV Protection Face Shield Still Provide Clear Visibility?
Yes. Our UV-blocking face shield clear lens is engineered for distortion-free vision while still absorbing UV energy. This allows workers to complete detailed tasks safely without sacrificing clarity.
Can I Use This UV Face Shield in Australia For Outdoor Sun Protection?
Absolutely. Many customers use our UV face shield in Australia for both indoor and outdoor UV exposure. It functions as a powerful sun protection face shield, shielding the face from UV radiation in harsh Australian conditions.
Is a UV Shield for Face Necessary When Working With UV Lamps?
Yes. UV lamps produce concentrated ultraviolet energy far stronger than sunlight. A UV shield for face protection is essential for preventing burns, eye irritation, and long-term damage when working in industrial, laboratory, or inspection environments.
Does the UV-Blocking Face Shield in Australia Model Meet Local Safety Requirements?
Yes. Our UV-blocking face shield models in Australia comply with ANSI Z87.1 standards and meet the performance expectations for Australian workplaces, including laboratories, manufacturing facilities, and inspection rooms.
Is a Face Shield UV-Blocking Product Enough, or Should I Wear Goggles Too?
For high-intensity UV exposure, pairing a face-shield UV-blocking visor with UV-protective goggles provides an additional barrier and enhanced safety. For moderate or general UV tasks, the shield alone offers excellent full-face coverage.
How Long Does a UV Protection Face Shield Last?
The lifespan of a UV protection face shield depends on use, storage, and exposure levels. With proper care, cleaning with mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, and protecting it from scratches, the shield can maintain UV-blocking performance for years.
