Product Overview
The Face Shield Plus (PW96) is a high-specification protective solution designed specifically for individuals working in high-heat and hazardous industrial environments. This clear visor provides essential protection against molten metal splashes and hot solid projections, acting as a critical barrier between the wearer and thermal hazards.
Key Features
- Advanced Protection: Engineered to offer superior front and side face coverage, reducing the risk of injury from lateral splashes or debris.
- Ergonomic Adjustment: The ratchet adjustment system allows for a secure and customised fit, ensuring the shield stays in place during rigorous physical activity.
- Extended Utility: The headgear is compatible with the PW99 replacement visor, allowing for easy maintenance and ensuring the equipment remains in service for longer.
Design & Performance
Constructed using a combination of polycarbonate and aluminium, this face shield is designed to withstand significant industrial stress without becoming cumbersome. The polycarbonate material provides exceptional clarity and impact resistance, while the aluminium components contribute to the shield's overall structural integrity and heat resistance. Despite its robust nature, the lightweight construction ensures that the wearer can maintain focus and comfort throughout a full shift.
Customisation: Print & Embroidery
While the clear visor must remain unobstructed for safety, the associated headgear and browguards can often be customised to match your corporate identity. Embroidery is an excellent choice for a professional and permanent look, ideal for adding company names or logos to headbands. For larger, high-impact branding on accompanying uniforms, our printing services provide a bold finish. All customisation is managed by our dedicated in-house team in Telford, drawing on our expertise established since 1976.
Use Cases
This equipment is primarily designed for professionals in foundries, metal smelting, and heavy fabrication shops where molten metal is handled. It is also suitable for any industrial application where comprehensive facial protection against hot projections and high-speed particles is a safety requirement.

Practical Advice
We recommend adjusting the ratchet mechanism to a firm but comfortable setting before starting work to prevent any movement of the shield. It is also prudent to keep a stock of PW99 replacement visors on hand, as any visor that becomes significantly scratched or damaged should be replaced immediately to ensure clear vision and continued safety.
Caring for your product
Maintaining the clarity of the visor is essential for both safety and performance. We advise cleaning the shield with a soft cloth and mild detergent; using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals can lead to surface scratches that interfere with vision and may weaken the polycarbonate.
When not in use, the face shield should be stored in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Excessive exposure to UV radiation or extreme temperature fluctuations can cause the plastic components to become brittle over time, which may compromise the impact resistance of the shield.
