Safety eyewear provides protection from spray and splatter from particles, liquids and dust, and from chemical product fumes and radiation.
Select the most suitable protective glasses or shields.
All our polycarbonate glasses filter 99.9% of UV A, B or C (130 - 300 nm). Our UV400 glasses filter up to 400 nm.
Special filters can eliminate certain parts of light and a high proportion of the electro-magnetic spectrum (ultraviolet rays, infrared rays…).
Lens marking is composed by 2 numbers (separated in the middle by a "-"):
SYMBOL MEANING - EN166: 1: optical class allowing permanent wear of the spectacles

An alloy is the combination of a metallic element with one or several other chemical elements by melting, with the aim of modifying the mechanical properties of the basic metal. Examples of known alloys: • Cast iron: iron + carbon (between 2,1 and 6,7 % in carbon mass) • Steel: iron + carbon (less than 2,1 % in carbon mass) • Brass: copper + zinc • Bronze: copper + tin
