Polycarbonate face shields are transparent screens designed to give excellent protection for the whole face. These face shields act like barriers which protect individuals who work in environments that have flying objects, hazardous substances, chemical and liquid splashes, or potentially infectious materials. Polycarbonate is commonly used for medical face shields due to its strength and durability.

A face shield is essential for many workers and are often worn in conjunction with face masks and respirators and come in different materials and styles to suit many applications. These shields aim to provide protection for the persons entire face or part of it. Many polycarbonate face shields or visors can also be comfortably worn with goggles, respirators and earmuffs or can be attached or mounted to compatible helmets/headgear. Face shields are also fully adjustable to provide a comfortable fit to the wearer.
