OVERVIEW

High-Performance Optical Clarity and Protection

The Fibre-Metal 4178CL Clear Face Shield Window represents the gold standard in industrial facial protection. Unlike standard flat acetate sheets that must be bent into shape—creating tension and potential optical distortion—the 4178CL is injection-molded and pre-formed to the exact curvature of the headgear. This engineering choice ensures that the user experiences zero distortion, reducing eye fatigue during long shifts and allowing for precision work in hazardous environments.

Manufactured from high-grade Propionate, this window offers a superior balance of impact resistance and chemical stability compared to standard materials. It is specifically designed to interface seamlessly with Fibre-Metal's High Performance™ crown protectors, such as the F400 and F500 series. The precise fit creates a perfect seal between the window and the crown, effectively preventing airborne debris, dust, and liquid splashes from penetrating the top gap—a common failure point in generic face shield assemblies.

Safety compliance is paramount in industrial settings, and the 4178CL delivers with full ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 certification. Whether utilized for heavy grinding, chemical handling, or general facility maintenance, this face shield window provides a robust barrier against hazards while maintaining a wide field of view. Its durable construction resists pitting and scratching, extending the service life of the unit and ensuring that safety budgets are maximized without compromising on worker protection.

Installation is intuitive and secure, utilizing Fibre-Metal's trusted mounting system to ensure the window stays firmly in place even under duress. For safety managers and industrial professionals seeking a reliable, high-clarity solution for face protection, the Fibre-Metal 4178CL is the definitive choice.

FAQ

The FM4178CL is designed to fit Fibre-Metal High Performance headgear, specifically the F400 and F500 series crown protectors.

No, this is a clear window intended for impact and splash protection only. It does not provide protection against the harmful UV and IR radiation generated by welding arcs. You must use a proper welding helmet with the correct shade for welding.

The 4178CL is made from Propionate, which offers excellent optical clarity, impact resistance, and chemical resistance.

Yes, the Fibre-Metal 4178CL meets or exceeds ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 standards for eye and face protection.

Wash with mild soap and warm water. Pat dry with a soft, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using solvents or ammonia-based cleaners as they may damage the propionate material.

The 4178CL is pre-formed (curved) during manufacturing. This ensures an exact fit to the crown protector and eliminates optical distortion caused by bending flat sheets.

Yes, if you use a Fibre-Metal hard hat adapter (like the F400 or F500 series designed for hard hat attachment), this window will fit that assembly.

No, this SKU is for the replacement window only. The headgear or crown protector must be purchased separately.
