FMF500CSA - Fibre-Metal F-500 High Performance Face Shield Headgear with Ratchet Suspension

Heavy-Duty Face Protection for Industrial Environments

The Fibre-Metal F-500 Headgear and Crown Protector is a cornerstone of industrial personal protective equipment, designed to offer superior defense against flying debris, sparks, and chemical splashes. Engineered for the most demanding work environments, this headgear unit is constructed from high-performance Noryl thermoplastic, providing exceptional heat resistance and durability compared to standard plastic models. It is the ideal foundation for building a complete face protection system tailored to your facility's specific hazards.

One of the standout features of the F-500 is its deep 4-inch crown protector. Unlike shallow brow guards, this extended crown provides critical coverage for the forehead and the top of the head, effectively shielding the wearer from particles falling from above or impacts directed at the brow line. This makes it particularly suitable for overhead grinding, machining, and chemical handling tasks where comprehensive coverage is non-negotiable.

Comfort is paramount for safety compliance, and the F-500 excels with its advanced ratchet suspension system. The easy-to-turn knob allows users to adjust the headband size quickly—even while wearing gloves—ensuring a snug, secure fit that won't slip during active work. The suspension is designed to float freely, reducing pressure points and allowing for extended wear without fatigue. Furthermore, the design incorporates generous clearance between the face and the window, accommodating prescription eyewear, safety goggles, and most half-mask respirators without interference.

This unit is designed to accept a wide range of Fibre-Metal windows, including the popular 4118 and 4199 models (sold separately). The secure channel grip mounting system ensures that once a window is installed, it stays locked in place, providing a positive seal against dust and debris. CSA certified and built to last, the F-500 is the professional's choice for reliable face protection.
