Face-Saving Material Protects and Prevents
When your business is protecting workers from industrial accidents, protection and prevention go hand in hand. That’s why Fibre-Metal face shields are made from Eastman Chemical Company’s Tenite® acetate propionate—it delivers a unique combination of chemical resistance, toughness and optical clarity not found in typical face shields. These shields go beyond the impact resistance of ordinary face shields to include zero optical distortion, which prevents accidents resulting from poor visual perception.
