Original Press Release:
Breakthrough UvexR Dura-streme Coating Technology Now Available in Safety Eyewear and Goggles
Brand Offers First Dual Application of Anti-fog and Anti-Scratch Coatings on One Lens for Industrial Eye Protection
Anti-fog Lenses Can Last up to Three Times* Longer
SMITHFIELD, R.I. - Oct. 15, 2007 - Sperian Eye and Face Protection, the world leader in safety eyewear, today announced the launch of its revolutionary lens coating technology, Uvex Dura-streme. The new groundbreaking technology brings together the benefits of the industry's leading anti-fog and anti-scratch coatings onto a single lens. With this development, Uvex becomes the first safety eyewear and goggle brand with dual-coating technology for the American industrial safety market.
Dura-streme technology delivers the industry's two best coatings on one lens. Proprietary Uvex Ultra-dura® anti-scratch coating protects the outside of the lens, providing premium scratch and chemical resistance, while on the interior of the lens, the robust performance of Uvextreme® anti-fog coating keeps vision clear in environments where humidity and physical exertion are typical. Both coatings are permanently bonded to the lens for performance that lasts even after repeated routine cleanings.
"Before Dura-streme technology, customers were limited to one coating per lens - either anti-fog or anti-scratch," said Phil Johnson, director of optical sciences, Sperian Eye and Face Protection. "With Dura-streme technology, customers receive the benefit of anti-fog lenses that can last up three times* longer. This specialized application of lens coatings provides optimal performance in environments where heavy physical exertion is typical and where heat, mist, sand, dust and chemicals are common factors."
Dura-streme technology is available in select models of the Uvex Genesis® Family of safety eyewear and Uvex Stealth(TM) goggles.
