Brass Knuckle® BK-Anti-FOG and BK-Anti-FOG+ get a new brochure
Why do the lenses of safety glasses fog? Science! What our eyes see as fog is actually thousands of tiny water bubbles that form when moisture in the air condenses on the lenses. You’ve got to fight science with science, so Brass Knuckle® invented two anti-fog lens coatings that prevent these bubbles from forming. Now, specifiers, safety managers, supervisors, and forepersons can learn more about both BK-Anti-FOG applications in a new brochure.
Find out how Brass Knuckle sets the world standard for anti-fog protection with products that last either 15 times longer or 45 times longer than the most stringent standard in the world, EN 168.
Both BK-Anti-FOG and BK-Anti-FOG+ are bonded directly onto the lens surface, not sprayed on like some cheaper alternatives, so lenses retain their fog-fighting properties, wear after wear. Because it is bonded directly to the lens, you can’t wipe it off, either. There’s no reapplying and no maintenance needed.
Anti-fog coatings are all about time. They are designed to keep the lens clear from the moment fog would normally form to the moment the lens adjusts to the temperature change. Depending on the temperature differential, it can require seconds or even minutes for this period of adjustment to occur. This is key to understanding why not all anti-fog coatings are created equal.
BK-Anti-FOG lasts for two full minutes, for a fog-free view under even the most demanding hot and humid conditions. BK-Anti-FOG+ protection lasts more than six minutes. In the world of eye protection, it’s as good as anti-fog protection gets. By comparison, the aforementioned EN 168 standard requires only eight seconds.
Brass Knuckle offers loads of extra time for lenses to come into balance with temperature fluctuations, dramatically reducing fog duration or eliminating it entirely. That means greater vision, improved safety, and increased compliance – because a goggle removed to wipe off fog is a goggle that isn’t protecting the eyes. Whereas glasses that don’t fog stay right where they belong.
