What Are My Choices for Lens Coating?
• Hardcoated Lenses provide scratch resistance to polycarbonate, which typically scratches very easily without such protection. Most of the safety glasses in our catalog fall into this category. Some brands have trade names for these coatings, such as Crews Duramass and Uvex Ultradura. • Anti-Fog Coated Lenses are ideal for workers performing in extremely hot, cold or humid conditions. The coating prevents fogging of the safety glasses, which can lead to a reduced field of vision. Some brands have names for these coatings, such as Uvex Uvextreme, AO Safety DX and Willson Fog-Ban. • Uncoated Lenses are common among styles intended to be used by visitors to a facility, or other short-term applications. The only advantage they offer is lower cost.
