Face visor 3M Peltor 5F-1 clear polycarbonate — full-face protection, anti-scratch

The 3M Peltor 5F-1 clear polycarbonate face visor provides full-face protection while maintaining a transparent field of view. Engineered from clear polycarbonate, the visor is designed to resist impact from light particles and debris and to be compatible with a range of 3M headgear systems. It is intended for environments where splash, flying fragments or contact with small objects pose a risk to the face and eyes, delivering a balance of visibility and protective coverage across workshop, construction, maintenance and laboratory tasks.

Advantages

The clear polycarbonate construction ensures good optical clarity and reliable impact resistance without significant weight. The visor surface includes an anti-scratch treatment to preserve visibility during regular use and to reduce the need for frequent replacement. Designed for integration with compatible 3M headgear, the face visor offers stable fit and straightforward mounting, enabling fast positioning and removal when required. The full-face coverage shields both eyes and facial skin from splashes and particles while maintaining an unobstructed view.

How to use

Before each use, inspect the visor for deep scratches, cracks or other damage that could impair protection or visibility. Attach the visor to compatible 3M headgear following the headgear manufacturer’s mounting instructions, ensuring secure engagement points and correct orientation. Position the visor to cover the face fully from forehead to chin while allowing a clear sightline. Clean the visor with a soft cloth and a mild detergent or manufacturer-recommended cleaner; avoid abrasive cleaners that may damage the anti-scratch surface. Replace the visor if it shows signs of significant wear, deformation or impact damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the visor together with appropriate eye and respiratory protection when tasks involve hazardous dust, chemical vapours or high-velocity impacts beyond the visor’s intended capability. Store the visor in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to preserve the anti-scratch surface and optical clarity.
