PAULSON
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about PAULSON from 3G Electric.
What helmet systems are Paulson riot face shields compatible with?
Paulson riot face shields are available in models designed for compatibility with PASGT and ACH helmet systems. For example, the DK5-H.150HM and DK5-H.150 are intended for use with PASGT helmets, while the DK6-X.250AFS, DK6-X.250AF, DK7-X.250AF, and DK7-X.250AF-RU are ACH-rated or ACH-compatible. Compatibility depends on the specific model, so buyers should verify the MPN and helmet type before ordering. These shields attach via a pivot mechanism, allowing the user to raise or lower the shield without removing the helmet. 3G Electric provides detailed product specifications to help procurement specialists match the correct shield to their helmet system.
What is the difference between the Paulson DK5, DK6, and DK7 series face shields?
The Paulson DK5, DK6, and DK7 series differ in helmet compatibility, lens thickness, weight, and coatings. DK5 models (e.g., DK5-H.150, DK5-H.150HM) are designed for PASGT helmets and typically have a 0.150-inch lens. DK6 models (e.g., DK6-H.150, DK6-H.150S, DK6-X.250AF, DK6-X.250AFS) are ACH-rated or ACH-compatible and come in 0.150-inch or 0.250-inch lens thicknesses, with some featuring hard-coated lenses. DK7 models (e.g., DK7-X.250AF, DK7-X.250AF-RU) are ACH-rated with a 0.250-inch lens and pivot design. Weights range from 1.45 lbs to 1.90 lbs. These variations allow selection based on threat level, helmet type, and user preference.
Are Paulson riot face shields available with hard-coated lenses?
Yes, certain Paulson riot face shields are available with hard-coated polycarbonate lenses. For instance, the DK6-X.250AFS features a clear, hard-coated polycarbonate lens. Hard coating improves resistance to scratching and abrasion, which can help maintain optical clarity over time. This is particularly useful in environments where the shield may be exposed to debris or repeated handling. The hard coating does not affect the impact resistance of the polycarbonate. When ordering, check the product description or MPN to confirm whether a specific model includes a hard-coated lens. 3G Electric lists these details in its product data to assist buyers in selecting the appropriate variant.
What is the weight of Paulson riot face shields?
Paulson riot face shields vary in weight depending on the model. For example, the DK6-H.150 and DK6-H.150S weigh 1.45 lbs, the DK6-X.250AF weighs 1.55 lbs, the DK7-X.250AF weighs 1.90 lbs, and the DK7-X.250AF-RU has a 6-inch length with weight not specified in the provided data. Weight differences are primarily due to lens thickness and pivot mechanism design. Lighter models may be preferred for extended wear, while heavier models may offer additional impact protection. Buyers should consider operational requirements and user comfort when selecting a model. 3G Electric provides weight specifications for each SKU to facilitate comparison.
Can Paulson riot face shields be used in industrial settings?
Paulson riot face shields are primarily designed for law enforcement, security, and tactical operations where impact protection from blunt force is required. However, they can also be used in industrial settings where similar face protection is needed, such as crowd control or security at industrial facilities. The polycarbonate construction provides impact resistance and optical clarity. That said, industrial applications may have specific safety standards that these shields may or may not meet. Buyers should verify that the chosen model complies with relevant workplace safety regulations. 3G Electric supplies these products to a range of industries, and procurement specialists should review the specifications to ensure suitability for their particular environment.
