Why Laser Protection is Important for Crowd Control Situations
Tactical officers often encounter dangerous, high-impact situations as part of the lifesaving jobs they perform. Equipment constructed for tactical purposes must withstand the extreme environmental hazards of emergency medical operations, forced entries, victim extractions, and rescue operations. This is no different for riot control officers, who deal with any number of hazards during a riot […]
An Introduction to Arc Flash PPE Categories in NFPA 70E
Arc flash personal protective equipment (PPE) plays an essential role in protecting electrical workers from dangerous accidental arc flash events. Individuals that work in environments with various electrical hazards must be adequately trained in the use and application of electrical PPE, such as hard hats, ear protectors, face shields, insulated rubber gloves, and more. All […]

Intro to Plastic Injection Molding
Many industries use injection molding to produce their parts and products. The process enables them to create components of various shapes and sizes in high quantities (i.e., thousands or millions of pieces) quickly, consistently, and cost-effectively. While it can be used with a variety of other materials (e.g., glass, metal, and rubber), it is most […]
Radiant Heat Protection for Mill & Foundry Workers
Mill and foundry workers cast molten metal into shapes by melting the metal into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the molded material after the metal has solidified. The most common metals processed are aluminum and cast iron. This process involves an extreme amount of radiant heat, and it is critical […]
What is Nanotechnology and Why is it Utilized in our Arc Shields?
Despite being relatively new, nanotechnology has advanced quickly over the last few decades, thanks to dedicated research by the National Nanotechnology Initiative. Products enhanced by nanoparticles, like scratch-proof glasses and self-cleaning glass, are being used in healthcare, materials science, transportation, and more, and these exciting innovations are only the beginning of what is possible. At […]
