For outdoor
applications where sunlight and glare cause eye strain and fatigue.
Absorbs >99.9 of UV radiation up to 400nm. Uvex light gray, gray,
mirror and SCT-gray lenses meet color traffic signal recognition
requirements of ANSI Z80.3. |
| dark gray |
|
10% |
For outdoor work applications where sunlight
and glare cause eyestrain and sunglass tint is dark
gray in color and has a Visible
Light Transmittance of about 10%. This means 10% of light
will pass through the lens. The dark gray lens will absorb
99.9% of UVA and UVB radiation up to 400nm.

fatigue. Meets color traffic signal recognition requirements of
ANSI Z80.3 |
| SCT-low
IR** |
|
80% |
For indoor
applications where peripheral infrared radiation protection's required,
such as under welding helmets or walking through welding sites.
Also reduces glare from fluorescent and halogen lighting. Absorbs
99.9 % of UV radiation up to 400nm; 40% harmful IR radiation. |
| SCT-vermillion** |

point sighting of the red alignment or leveling beam. Allows you
to see the target point even in bright sun-light. |
| SCT-gray** |
|
15% |
Excellent
for outdoor applications. Provides true color recognition and low
level infrared protection to help keep the eye cooler and reduce
eye strain. Designed to protect against short-term electric arc.
Absorbs >99.9 of UV radiation up to 400nm; 85% of harmful IR
radiation. Uvex light gray, gray, mirror and SCT-gray lenses meet
color traffic signal recognition requirements of ANSI Z80.3. |
| SCT-
reflect 50** |
|
50% |
the SCT Reflect
50 lens was designed for use in specific task-oriented applications
such as work applications with varying light conditions.This tint
is a comfortable solution for workers that move into or out of shaded
or indoor locations, to direct sunlight.
For example, a worker who drives a forklift in and out of
a building would find the SCT Reflect 50 a very comfortable solution
to wear. |
| SCT-blue** |
|
57% |
For work areas
with high levels of yellow light such as semi-conductor facilities
using sodium vapor lighting. Absorbs >99.9 of UV radiation up
to 400nm. |
| SCT-cobalt** |
Discontinued
|
0.2% |
For high-heat
applications such as furnaces. Reduces the glare of metal or glass
blowing and provides infrared radiation protection. Absorbs >99.9
of UV radiation up to 400nm; blocks 45% of harmful IR radiation. |
SCT-orange**
(Dental orange) |
|
45% |
Reduces eye
fatigue by absorbing blue and green light. Allows you to clearly
view components during curing and inspection processes. Absorbs
>99.9 of UV radiation and visible light up to 532nm.
