ArcShield™ is manufactured by an injection
molding process with a mix of polycarbonate and
DHK's proprietary ArcX™ energy absorbing material.
This high-tech material allows a visible light transmission
of an amazing 61%. The ArcShield arc rating (ATPV)
is 12 cal/cm². The outer surface is available
with DHK's proprietary material Silicote™-1
scratch resistant coating (up to five times longer
product life). The deluxe version of the ArcShield
comes with a permanent antifog coating on the inner
surface. It comes standard with both upper and lower
crown, plus side shield extenders. The upper and
lower crown protects the forehead and chin. Side
extenders give side head coverage beyond the ears
with 20’’ of facial coverage from one
side around to the other side. The ArcShield can
be used with DHK's adjustable ratchet headgear or
with a slotted hard cap with Slot-Fit™ adaptors. |

| Dimesions:
Window has 14"x8" vision area, 0.105" thickness,
two 6" side shield extenders, two 4’’ crowns
(upper and lower). |
| Compliant
Standards: Complies with NFPA 70E-2004. Tested according
to ANSI Z87.1-2003 & ASTM F2178-02. |
| Use:
The ArcShield is designed to provide protection from low-level
energy arc flash hazards. According to NFPA 70E Hazard Risk
Category (HRC) levels, this shield should be used to protect
electrical workers from hazards similar to the required minimum
of HRC2 or below. Be aware that the arc rating (ATPV) of fabrics
and faceshields is based on the results of sufficient heat transfer
through the fabrics and faceshields to indicate a 50% probability
of a second-degree burn based on the Stollcurve. Always perform
a hazard analysis and use higher protection than the hazard
you are facing. |
| Clening
Instructions & Maintenance: Always keep faceshield
clean for then best, safest vision. The ArcShield can be cleaned
with water and mild soap. The ArcShield should be free of contaminants.
Flammable contaminants can reduce protection level. Replace
faceshield when scratched. |
