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 toughened. Mineral glasses are well suited for very dusty environments where scratch resistance or attack by certain chemicals is critical. They are less susceptible to scratching and have good impact resistance. However, mineral glass is heavy and prone to burn-in from 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 impact protection
  • Poor UV filtering
  • Sensitive to welding sparks
