uvex occupational safety equipment for applications in the field of electrics and electronics

In terms of their technical development, vehicles impress with increasingly sophisticated electronics that ensure maximum driver comfort and safety.

In order to install the smallest electronic parts without damaging them, it is important for workers to demonstrate good dexterity in production processes and to use high-quality materials that guarantee that all components will continue to function in the long term. When developing our products for these applications, we focus on producing ESD-capable protective equipment as well as protecting people who work on live electrical equipment.

Protection against voltage

In many large industrial companies, performing work on live electrical equipment is part of everyday life. Complex switchgear and live components pose high risks for the workers concerned. In the event of an arc flash occurring, the focus is on protecting the hands, head and body. As a system provider of PPE, uvex truly understands that different elements of protective equipment must be designed to be compatible with one another and minimise risk. Clothing that meets the requirements of various standards, visors for short circuit electric arcs and gloves for high-voltage applications are everyday essentials in these fields.

ESD-capable protection from head to toe

As a manufacturer of PPE for the whole body, uvex is committed to ensuring that in any areas where special protection of sensitive technology is required, the people concerned also enjoy the highest level of comfort in accordance with our mission “protecting people”. High cut protection must not be an impediment and is ensured thanks to the use of high-quality materials. Ergonomic clothing and shoes in accordance with ESD specifications enable wearers to comply with high product requirements even on long work days.

Lens materials

Polycarbonate (PC)

  • organic material with very high tensile strength
  • only limited chemical resistance
  • mechanical strength, class “F” (45 m/sec)
  • PC+ – polycarbonate lens that is thicker in the middle, especially for uvex RX goggles

Trivex™

  • organic material with high tensile strength
  • lightweight, also suitable for high prescriptions
  • excellent optical image reproduction properties, even for high prescriptions
  • excellent resistance to cleaning agents, oils and cosmetics
  • good scratch resistance
  • best all-round lens material
  • mechanical strength, class “F” (45 m/sec)
Finishes

Anti-reflective coating

 

Anti-reflective coating is a layer applied to the inside and outside of lenses using vapour deposition. It significantly reduces reflections on the surfaces. It offers a cosmetic advantage and increases light transmission.

Three types of coating are available:

  • Normal anti-reflective coating
  • Multi anti-reflective coating
  • Super anti-reflective coating
UV blue protect

UV blue protect

 

A special absorber has been added to the lens material that completely filters out UV rays and reduces the blue light content.

  • The lenses absorb UV radiation up to 400 nm at 100%, filter short-wave blue light up to 410 nm almost completely and reduce the spectrum from 410 nm to 420 nm by 86%.
  • uvex UV blue protect lenses enhance contrast and effectively prevent signs of fatigue and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
  • The mechanical strength of the lenses is guaranteed – clear lenses with UV blue protect are marked 2C-1.2.
  • UV blue protect is optionally available for polycarbonate (PC) lenses and HI 1.67.
