VISIN Styled Face Shield with Anti-Reflective & Scratch Resistant Coating With 97% Translucency

Visin AR PPE Face Shield with DiamoxAR1617 film offers enhanced level of higher transparency suitable for LCD’s, PDP’s, Displays, Touch Screens, among Others. An additional benefit of DiamoxAR1617 Film is excellent Anti-Static and Abrasion Resistant Properties as well being an Anti-Chemical Material all which contribute to a great performance. The Enhanced Performance Face Shield is coated with Anti-Reflection Coating on both sides. 97% light transmission performance with virtually zero reflection from either the outer or internal viewing sides in all lighting conditions. It also has a scratch resistance coating. The UK-made face shield is created from medical grade materials and is Certified to BS EN166:2002.

A standard shield face shield has 89% light transmission and, as a result, see some of your reflection from the viewing side of the face shield and glare and reflections from the external surface of the face shield.

By now people globally are wearing face masks to protect against potentially deadly infection when we leave the house. But face masks can be hot, and they can irritate the skin, fog glasses, make it difficult for some to breathe and create a world without smiles. It also can be difficult for people who have hearing loss to communicate when mouths are covered, muffling voices, and hiding facial expressions.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to recommend wearing “cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain.” But some health experts say shields appear to be very effective at preventing infection — maybe even more effective than masks — for someone going about regular daily activities and not in a high-risk health care setting.

It may be too complicated to compare a face shield to a face mask because people are not all wearing the same masks as some are wearing bandannas, homemade masks, or N-95 masks. So, as I understand following is data on Face Shields:

  • If coughs 18 inches from you while you are wearing a face shield, the immediate viral exposure is reduced by 96%.
  • If the person remains coughing and talking with you for 30 minutes, then the face shield blocks 68% of the small air particles.

Design HMI has been working with Diamond Coatings to complete improved Application Design for Translucent Face Shields that greatly improves protection against various airborne viruses and is comfortable to wear.

Design target as below:

  1. PC or Hardened 0.5mm thin Shatter Proof Glass.
  2. High Durometer Snap in Tab.
  3. Designed for easy outdoor / office / social setting wear.
  4. Anti-Reflective coating.
  5. Anti-Smudge Coating.
  6. Scratch Resistance coating.
  7. Anti-Microbial Coating.
  8. Anti-Fog Coating.
  9. Protection against UV Light.

Visin PPE Face Shield AR Coated: Fully certified reusable face shield offers industry-leading levels of protection to the face and eyes from airborne viruses and pathogens, allowing a full range of head movement whilst shielding the entire face.

Coated with Diamond Coatings Anti-Reflection Coating – our AR Coated shields have no reflection; A standard shield has 89% transmission, so you see some of your own reflection. This Anti-Reflection give you 97% transmission so there is virtually no reflection. The UK-made face shield is created from medical grade materials and is fully certified to BS EN166:2002.

The elasticated strap offers all day comfort and can be worn with or without PPE such as eyewear and facemasks.

Target is to coat shield with translucent Anti-Microbial coating on the outside surface to reduce possibility of transmission through touch interface. May reduce transmission slightly but will have no impact on visibility.

Face masks help prevent the spread of COVID-19, but some people find them awkward, uncomfortable, or downright unbearable to wear. Plastic face shields offer another means of deterring COVID-19 that some might find easier, said Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar with the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, in Baltimore.

They are clear plastic or plexiglass shields that cover the entire face, from the forehead down to the chin or lower. An elastic headband holds the shield in place.

Face shields have been shown to reduce viral exposure by 96% when worn within 18 inches of a cough, and by 92% at the currently recommended 6 feet of social distancing, according to a recent editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Design HMI is working on developing Smart Translucent Face Masks and Shields.

 

PPE – For General Use

One general-use face mask with opening for antimicrobial insert. The face mask is comprised of two layers of breath- able, durable, high-tech nonwoven fabric, latex-free elastic ear bands and features a formable coated metal nose- guard to ensure a snug fit. All face masks are one size fit all. The face mask is washable up to 10 times.

One replaceable antimicrobial insert. The filter insert is comprised of one layer of silver- coated breathable, durable, high-tech nonwoven fabric.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

  1. Prior to Use: Face mask is recommended to be washed with warm water and soap. Hang to air dry. Do not wash antimicrobial filter.
  2. Inserting the Antimicrobial Filter: Each mask includes an opening between the two layers of fabric at the bottom. Place filter inside the opening ensuring that the filter is laying flat between the two layers.
  3. Using the Mask: The mask should be placed over your mouth and nose with the nose-guard located on the outer layer of fabric and directly over the bone of your nose. The elastic bands are to be wrapped around the ears to ensure a tight fit of the mask over the face. Use your fingers to bend the nose-guard over the bone of your nose to ensure there are no open spaces and snug fit. If the elastic bands are too tight, stretch them firmly to expand permanently.
  4. Washing Mask for Re-Use: To wash the mask, remove the filter layer and set aside. Clean hands before and after handling filter or use gloves. Use warm water and soap to hand wash the face mask. Rinse and hang to air dry. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO WASH THE ANTIMICROBIAL FILTER. The face mask is washable up to 10 times. Caution should be used while washing around the nose guard. DO NOT MICROWAVE THE MASK FOR STERILIZATION.
  5. Changing the Filter: It is recommended to change out the filter after every 3 washes of the face mask. New filters can be purchased directly through Liquid X.
