Unrivalled anti-fog coatings that don’t wash off

Due to the way that safety eyewear should fit - close to the face keeping dirt and debris out - it can cause moisture build up, especially if the wearer is doing a physical job which can result in the lens fogging. The solution? Sophisticated coating systems from uvex.

Wearing safety eyewear in places with frequent temperature fluctuations or high-humidity environments can cause the lenses to fog up, leading to severe or continuous fogging issues. Our long-lasting anti-fog lens coating is ideal for areas with high humidity.

Not only is it frustrating but there are also safety, productivity and compliance issues that come along with it. uvex’s pioneering lens coatings deliver the very best in German engineering. Developed in our own manufacturing facilities in Fürth, Germany, our lens coatings are permanent even after repeated cleaning. This offers great value for money and means you can get on with the job at hand without any distractions from your eyewear.

The safety market is saturated with products all claiming to have similar performance values, however, some safety eyewear companies are resorting to “magic tricks” to fool an audience about its products anti-fog capabilities. The “trick” is that like-for-like lens coatings are not being used for the demonstration thereby, casting doubt on the capability and performance of uvex products. Watch this video to ensure you know what to look out for when buying anti-fog safety eyewear.

Optifog's unique anti-fog system combines two patented technologies: Optifog lens treatment and a smart textile cloth with anti-fog molecules that activates the power of the Optifog lens. The Optifog lens treatment means both the front and back surfaces of the lens have integrated anti-fog technology. Simply wipe your lenses with the smart cloth and droplets that would usually obstruct your vision spread uniformly across the lens, in an invisible and fog-free layer. The Optifog system is ideal for professionals such as those frequently moving from cold to hot environments, cooks, delivery drivers, florists, etc.

In order to ensure long-lasting performance from your uvex safety eyewear, ensure you clean your lenses in the correct way to minimise damage to the lens coatings. First, lightly blow off any loose dirt or debris and then run your eyewear under cool water – uvex lenses are engineered to allow excess dirt to wash off easily, without sticking.

Next, spray the cleaning solution found in the uvex eyewear lens cleaning station directly onto the lens, and then use the lens-safe tissue to wipe clean. If you’re not immediately putting the safety eyewear back on, store them in a protective pouch; never put unprotected eyewear in your pocket.
