The advantages and disadvantages of mineral glass

Not all safety glasses are the same. Not only are there different models, but the material from which the lenses are made is not always the same either. The choice for the right eyeglass properties 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 damage from certain chemicals is crucial. They are less susceptible to scratches and have good impact resistance. However, mineral glass is heavy and susceptible to burning in welding and grinding sparks.

The benefits of mineral glass

• Scratch resistant
• Heat resistant
• Resistant to chemicals
• Less colouring

The disadvantages of mineral glass

• heavy
• Limited impact protection
• Poor UV filtering
• Sensitive to welding sparks

Safety glasses with Trivex lens

Trivex is known as one of the most sustainable materials on the market. As with polycarbonate, Trivex material was actually developed for alternative uses for eyeglasses. It was originally used by the military for fighter jet windshields and other military applications.

You expect a workplace to be able to work safely there. But when your vision is reduced, this can lead to dangerous situations. With prescription goggles where Trivex lenses come as standard, you offer your employees the most comfortable prescription goggles.

We offer standard Trivex lenses in our prescription safety glasses. Our Trivex prescription eyeglasses comply with the EN 166 standard and offer impact protection combined with the sturdy frame.
