Phoenix Solvent Resistant
WorkSafe Eyewear is delighted to announce the addition of PHOENIX SAFETY EYEWEAR to our range of prescription safety glasses.
Phoenix offers many advantages over standard Polycarbonate safety lenses. The most important advantage is that they are completely resistant to common industry solvents. By contrast Polycarbonate lenses are extremely sensitive to many solvents and even the slightest contact can render polycarbonate eyewear unsafe.
