Laser Safety Industries offers laser safety face shields designed to provide additional facial coverage for Class 3R, 3B, and Class 4 laser systems.
Face shields should be selected based on laser wavelength, Optical Density (OD), visible light requirements, application hazards, coverage needs, and expected exposure conditions.
Selecting Laser Safety Face Shields
Full-Face Coverage
Face shields provide additional coverage beyond traditional laser safety eyewear for applications where more facial protection is desired.
Laser Welding Applications
Laser welding applications require protection from hazardous laser radiation and the intense weld flash generated during the welding process.
Wavelength & OD
Face shields should be selected based on the laser wavelength range and required Optical Density for the specific laser system.
Visibility & Comfort
Visible Light Transmission, comfort, coverage area, and application requirements all influence face shield selection.
