Project Overview
A safety equipment manufacturer required ballistic-rated face shields. The project demanded ANSI Z87.1 and EN166 certification, optical clarity, and exceptional impact resistance.
Challenge
- Ballistic Rating: ANSI Z87.1 and EN166 certification
- Optical Clarity: Clear vision for industrial use
- Impact Resistance: High-velocity impact protection
- Comfort: Lightweight for extended wear
- Cost: Competitive pricing for safety equipment
Solution
Material & Design
- Polycarbonate for impact resistance and clarity
- Optimized thickness for ballistic rating
- Anti-fog coating for visibility
- Ergonomic design for comfort
Testing & Certification
- ANSI Z87.1 impact testing
- EN166 certification
- Optical clarity verification
- Comfort and fit testing
Results
| Metric | Target | Achieved |
|---|---|---|
| Certification | ANSI Z87.1, EN166 | Both Achieved |
| Impact Tests | 95% pass | 100% pass |
| Annual Volume | 100K units | 200K+ units |
| Optical Clarity | 90% | 95% |
| User Comfort | 8/10 | 9/10 |
