running.
The polycarbonate visor is mounted
on a fully adjustable headband to
ensure a comfortable fit even when
worn for long periods. A soft face
seal ensures comfort as well as
maintaining positive pressure to seal
the visor and prevent debris or
contaminated air entering the visor
area. The clear visor can be flipped up
when not required (i.e. having left the
contaminated area) and is fitted with a
disposable overlay to protect its
surface from abrasion over a longer
period.
Approval
The Airshield is type approved according to
European Directive 89/686/EEC by Inspection
Certification, notified body number 0194. The
approvals being to BS EN166 and BS EN146.
BS EN166:1995 - is the harmonised Standard
for eye protection (low energy impact). This
means that the visor and frame of the
Airshield will withstand low energy impact by
a high speed foreign object.
BS EN146:1992 THP2 - is the harmonised
Standard for respiratory protection to Class
THP 2. The respiratory protection offered by
a respirator is expressed as the Nominal
Protection Factor (NPF). A value of NP20
allows no more than one particle in every 20
through.
Applications
Providing both respiratory and eye
protection, the Trend Airshield is ideal
for professional and amateur
woodworkers, for general
woodworking as well as routing,
turning, carving, sanding and finishing.
It will also prove beneficial to many
other industries, hobbies and
activities where there is a constant
risk of dust inhalation and facial
injury. These include agriculture,
engineering, pottery/ceramics, building
(paint and wood sanding, brick dust,
cement and insulation materials),
dental laboratories and the aerospace
industry.

Pre-Filter Benefits
Circulating the air initially through a large
pre-filter not only increases the protection
and performance of the respirator but also
increases the life of the main filter and
therefore helps to reduce maintenance
and running costs. The pre-filter is an
open mesh static filter which attracts dust
over a large area, preventing the main filter
from clogging more frequently. IP
The THP2 main filter snaps easily over the front
of the motor housing and is retained by
four press studs.
