Back to knowledge base

Not every pair of safety glasses is the same. Not only are there different models, but also the material from which the lenses are made is not always the same. Choosing the right lens material is, of course, determined by the working conditions. Hardness and scratch resistance are important factors. Heat resistance, scratch resistance and clear vision are examples of lens properties.

Mineral glasses

Mineral glass is thermally or chemically hardened. Mineral glasses are very suitable for very dusty environments where scratch resistance or attack by certain chemical substances is crucial. They are less susceptible to scratches and have good impact resistance. Mineral glass, on the other hand, is heavy and susceptible to the burn-in of welding and grinding sparks.

The advantages of mineral glass

  • Scratch-resistant
  • Heat-resistant
  • Resistant to chemicals
  • Minor color shifting

The disadvantages of mineral glass

  • Heavy
  • Limited protection against impact
  • Poor UV filtering
  • Sensitive to welding sparks

Safety glasses with Trivex glass

Trivex is known as one of the most durable materials on the market. Like polycarbonate, Trivex material was actually developed for alternative use for eyewear. Originally, it was used by the military for fighter jet windshields and other military applications.

You expect a workplace to be safe to work in. But when your vision is impaired, it can lead to dangerous situations. With prescription safety glasses where Trivex lenses are standard, you offer your employees the most comfortable prescription safety glasses.

The benefits of Trivex lenses
