3M Faceshield Shade 5.0
This 3M faceshield visor uses a polycarbonate lens rated Shade 5.0 for infrared hazard protection. It is sold as the visor component only and carries model number 82706-10000. The gray lens mounts directly onto compatible headgear systems for industrial eye and face coverage.
Industrial workers needing IR shade 5.0
Suitable for welding, grinding, cutting and machine operations where a fixed Shade 5.0 filter is specified. Not suited for tasks requiring variable auto-darkening filters, anti-fog or anti-static coatings, or dielectric-rated headgear. Buyers needing a complete helmet assembly should look elsewhere.
Fixed Shade 5.0 infrared rating
The single specification that determines fit is the Shade 5.0 infrared rating moulded into the polycarbonate lens. This fixed density cannot be adjusted, so the visor only matches applications that explicitly call for Shade 5.0 protection.

Questions about this item
Does the polycarbonate visor need scheduled replacement?
The visor is a single-use component; replace it whenever scratches, pitting or heat distortion appear.
What limits continuous welding use at shade 5.0?
Shade 5.0 filters infrared for light-duty welding; sustained high-amperage arcs will exceed its protection level.
How hot does the shield get during all-day grinding?
The polycarbonate screen absorbs radiant heat but has no active cooling; expect surface warmth after extended exposure.
