Leading Manufacturer of Arc Flash Face Shields in India
An arc flash is a sudden and intense release of electrical energy caused by a fault in an electrical system, creating a dangerous electric arc. It produces extreme heat, bright light, and a powerful blast of pressure and sound. Triggers include equipment failure, dust, corrosion, accidental contact, or dropped tools. Temperatures can soar up to 35,000°F (19,426°C), hotter than the sun’s surface. This can result in molten metal spray, fire, and blinding light. The explosion may cause severe burns, hearing loss, and permanent eye damage. Arc flash protection is critical in all high-risk electrical environments.
Arc flash face shields have a limited lifespan. Most manufacturers recommend replacing them every 4 to 5 years, or sooner if the shield shows signs of damage, discoloration, or surface wear like scratches. Always follow the manufacturer's maintenance and replacement guidelines to ensure maximum safety.

These shields feature a high-performance nanoparticle lens and are integrated with a hard hat for full head and face protection. The Toric-shaped visor reduces internal glare and offers a wide peripheral and downward view. Certified to ASTM F2178-12, they meet strict arc protection standards. The Electrical Class E Helmet complies with ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 (R2019), ensuring top impact and electrical insulation. Available in CAT 2 and CAT 4 ratings, our face shields provide reliable protection across various arc flash risk levels.
