Yes, Elvex offers different solutions to avoid fogging of safety glasses. Certain designs that provide a space between the face and the lens allow for air circulation and help minimize fogging problems. Examples: UniWraps, SG-20, Challenger, SG-25, Summit II, SG-29, Orbit, SG-36 We also offer several models with anti-fog coated lenses. The product number includes an AF designation after the regular product number.

Compliance with requirements to wear safety glasses used to be a big problem in industry. However, safety glasses have become much more lightweight and stylish, to the point where workers actually want to wear their safety glasses. If you offer a selection of stylish safety glasses, that are appropriate for your work environment, you will find that compliance is no longer a big problem. No, OSHA does not approve safety glasses, or any other personal protective equipment for that matter.

Safety glasses are required to be tested to ANSI Z87.1-2003. This standard includes optical requirements as well as physical requirement. Here is a list of the tests that are required: Frame shall be capable of resisting impact from a pointed projectile weighing 500g (17.6 oz.) dropped from a height of 127 cm (50 in.). Spectacles shall be capable of resisting impact from a 6.35 mm (1/4 in) diameter steel ball traveling at a velocity of 45.7 mps (150 fps).

Most safety glass lenses are today made from Polycarbonate, and this is a very tough material. The impact resistance of a Polycarbonate lens is approximately ten times higher that of a safety glass lens made from hardened glass. Both these lens types (has the potential to) meet the requirements of the Eye and Face Protection Standard, ANSI Z87. If you want to see an example of how tough a Polycarbonate lens is, click on this link: www.elevx.com/how-strong-is-polycarbonate.htm

Polycarbonate gains its strength from being flexible instead of rigid. Because of this Polycarbonate lenses are prone to scratching, and are therefore usually protected by a hard coating. Even with a hard coating Polycarbonate has to be handled carefully, and should cleaned with soap and water and dried with paper tissue.

Yes, we offer a couple of styles that are smaller or have a more aggressively curved lens. Elvex TTS, SG-15-small, Challenger Small, SG-23, fit small featured adults as well as many children.

TTS, SG-15, Challenger S-SG-23, TNT- SG-13, Xenon- SG-14, Trix- SG-17, Elite- SG-200, Summit II- SG-29,

Several models in our product line offers both angle and length adjustment of the temples. The angle adjustment allows the lens to be tilted so that it offers the best possible protection for the job at hand. This feature is also helpful for individuals with asymmetric faces (it is common that the right and left ears are at different heights). Models with both length and angle adjustment: UniWraps, SG-20 , Challenger II, SG-26 (being discontinued), Bifocal Safety Glasses, RX-100.

Um…plastic? More specifically? Most of our safety glasses are made of polycarbonate. Polycarbonate is a strong plastic that resists shattering, scratching, and blocks 99.9% of UVA and UVB rays.

Yes. All our glasses come with lenses which have both a scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coating as standard.

Our glasses are fitted with lenses from a number of different manufacturers, all of which meet our stringent quality standards. These include Essilor (supplier of Varilux Lenses), Nikon, Zeiss, Hoya and WLC. All our lenses (including anti-reflection coatings) come with a one year warranty.

No. Almost any style of frame can be used for computer eyewear. More important are the lenses that your eye doctor chooses for your computer eyeglasses. Ninety percent of the time, multifocal lenses will be your best choice, as they are designed specifically for working at a computer. They allow you to see clearly at your correct computer screen distance and can give you some distance vision beyond the computer.

Not only is a legal requirement for employers to provide a safe working environment (particularly with industrial and manufacturing activities) but preventing eye injuries can be quite beneficial to employers in terms of decreased workers compensation claims, decreased lost time injuries (LTIs) and increased productivity. Statistics show that 116,000 people in Australia seek medical assistance for eye injuries every year.

The majority of the safety glasses we sell have lenses made of polycarbonate unless otherwise noted. These lenses are certified by ANSI (American National Safety Institute) to meet or exceed impact protection requirements. If you would like a detailed material description for any of our products please contact us by phone, fax or e-mail. Please allow 24 business hours for a response.

They have thinner edges than the same prescription in a standard lens, and because less material is used they are lighter and more comfortable to wear.

The fog is the mental barrier of disbelief constructed by the natural fear of death held by humanity. For those players familiar with Werewolf the Apocalypse, it resembles the Delirium.

The intensity of light or radiant energy produced by welding, cutting, or brazing operations varies according to a number of factors including the task producing the light, the electrode size, and the arc current. To protect employees who are exposed to intense radiant energy, begin be selecting a shade too dark to see the welding zone. Then try lighter shades until you find one that allows a sufficient view of the welding zone without going below the minimum protective shade.

If you use lathes, saws, sanders and other power tools at home, you need protective eyewear. It should cover not only the front of your eyes, but also the sides and top, so small airborne particles can't get in. Hardware stores sell shields that will usually fit over your glasses. But if you work with tools a lot, you'll avoid fogging problems and be more comfortable if you buy a specially fitted pair of safety glasses with polycarbonate lenses and frames from an eye care practitioner.

The proposed Australian Standard ASNZs 1337.6 requires manufactures of prescription safety glasses to be certified Strict certification requirements by SAI global include expensive testing of the multitude of frame and lens combinations followed by ongoing batch testing. Each industrial prescription safety glasses manufactured by the certified manufacturer will carry the “fiveticks standards mark” and a certificate with the manufacturers license number for tracking if required.
