We have a contact that may be able to make the face shields out of PVC. See below and let me know.

"He has the ability to get clear PVC, modify his dies and produce the mask and possibly also the retainer... he'd need to know if clear PVC is an acceptable alternative? Since we use it to transmit drinking water I would be surprised if it couldn't be used. However, need to know if it is an acceptable option. " email from Josh

He can make 1000 pieces/day.

Just from the feedback on the fabrication websites, any clear plastic at the .5mm thickness should work fine. If you are looking for medical clearances, I'll let others chime in.
