Oberon FF-065 OB Gold Reflective Face Shield with Aluminum Headgear, Clear/Gold Split

Oberon FF-065 OB gold reflective face shield with aluminum headgear frame.

NOT FOR WELDING. This is printed on the shield itself by the manufacturer. The gold reflective coating is a radiant-heat and glare coating, not a welding filter, and it provides no arc-flash or welding eye protection. Do not substitute it for a welding helmet or an arc-rated shield.

Markings on the item, verbatim: OBERON / FF-065 OB / CO/CL Gold Split / Not For Welding / 01 / 04 / BATCH UV-100301.

The shield is clean and undamaged. No impact or optical rating is legible anywhere on the shield, the headgear or its packaging, so no compliance standard is claimed here. A buyer needing a rated shield for a specific hazard should confirm the rating with Oberon against the batch code above before use.

Spec Basis: verified 2026-09-16 against this record's own photographs - the shield itself is marked OBERON, FF-065 OB, CO/CL Gold Split, Not For Welding, BATCH UV-100301, 01, 04. Agrees with record manufacturer (FID 56 Oberon) and model (FID 57 FF-065 OB). Material and optical figures are Oberon published data for the 065 and for its clear gold heat reflective replacement shield family, cited as such.

REMOVED AS UNSUPPORTED - THIS IS PPE, SO IT MATTERS: the previous entry claimed "Application: Arc flash / radiant heat face protection (verify rating label)". Oberon publishes no arc rating (no cal/cm2 figure, no ASTM F2178 reference) for this shield, and no rating label is legible in the photographs. An arc flash claim on personal protective equipment cannot stand on an unverified note, so it has been taken out rather than softened. A "Dimensions (packaged): 9 x 12 x 7 in" line was also taken out as our own carton figures. The ANSI Z87.1 line was taken out of the specification list because no Z87 mark is legible on this shield and Oberon publishes ANSI Z87.1+ at the product family level rather than for FF-065 OB specifically - the claim still appears in the item title (FID 11) and needs a reading of the physical shield before it is relied on.

SAFETY FLAG FOR A HUMAN: the shield is printed NOT FOR WELDING, but the Background field (FID 115) on this record states it is "suitable for use in welding". That contradiction is on a public product page for protective equipment. FID 115 is outside this pass and needs correcting.
