Product Information

Full details

The Portwest PS19 Essential KN Safety Glasses are designed for individuals needing lightweight, comfortable eye protection that doesn't compromise on visibility or safety. Their primary benefit is offering robust protection against particles and impact with exceptional clarity, even during extended wear. A potential consideration is their single wrap-around lens design, which might not suit all facial structures for a perfect seal in all environments. Key features include a polycarbonate brow-guard, flexible arms with rubber tips, and KN certified anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings.

FAQs

What does 'KN certified' mean for the lenses?

'K' certification indicates superior resistance to scratching (anti-scratch), while 'N' certification indicates high performance against fogging (anti-fog).

Are these glasses suitable for industrial environments?

Yes, they are designed for industrial use with features like impact resistance and clear vision. They are CE and UKCA certified.

Can I wear these over my prescription glasses?

These are designed as standalone safety glasses and are not typically intended to be worn over prescription eyewear. Their form factor may not allow for a comfortable or effective fit over other glasses.

How do I clean the anti-fog coating without damaging it?

Gently wash with lukewarm water and a mild, pH-neutral soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or paper towels.

What is the weight of these safety glasses?

The Portwest PS19 Essential KN Safety Glasses are extremely lightweight, weighing only 22 grams.

Are these glasses suitable for protection against chemical splashes?

These glasses are primarily designed for protection against impact and particles. They do not offer specific protection against chemical splashes. For chemical protection, specialized goggles or face shields are recommended.

Can I replace the lenses if they get damaged?

The PS19 Essential KN Safety Glasses are not designed with replaceable lenses. If the lenses are scratched or damaged, the entire unit should be replaced to ensure continued safety.

Troubleshooting

Glasses fog up excessively

Ensure the anti-fog coating is intact. Clean the lenses gently with a mild soap and water solution. If fogging persists, consider if the environment's humidity exceeds the anti-fog capability or if a tighter seal is needed.

Glasses slip down the nose

Adjust the flexible temple arms slightly. Ensure the soft TPR nose piece is clean and properly positioned. For persistent slipping, consider trying a different model or ensuring the arms are not excessively bent.

Lenses are scratched

Clean the lenses carefully to ensure the scratch is not debris. If the lens is truly scratched, it compromises protection and the glasses should be replaced. Avoid wiping with rough cloths or placing lens-down.

Discomfort during prolonged wear

Check that the temple arms are not pressing too hard. Ensure the nose piece is comfortable. The lightweight design should minimize discomfort, but minor adjustments may be needed for a perfect fit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely lightweight for extended wear comfort.
  • Durable anti-scratch and anti-fog lens coatings (K & N certified).
  • Secure, non-slip fit due to flexible arms and rubber tips.
  • Integrated brow protection against particle ingress.
  • Wide field of vision with wrap-around design.

Cons

  • Single wrap-around lens may not provide a perfect seal for all face shapes in dusty environments.
  • Limited to smoke lens tint, not suitable for all lighting conditions.
  • Primarily designed for impact and particle protection, not chemical splash resistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These safety glasses require no setup. They are ready to wear directly from the packaging.

Compatibility: The PS19 Essential KN Safety Glasses are designed for general eye protection. They are CE and UKCA certified. The universal fit nose piece and flexible temples aim to accommodate most users. They are compatible with most headwear and other PPE, though fit may vary.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Clean the lenses regularly with a soft, damp cloth or a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for polycarbonate lenses. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals, which can damage the coatings.
  2. Storage: Store the glasses in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a protective case, to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
  3. Inspection: Before each use, inspect the glasses for any damage, such as cracks, deep scratches, or worn coatings. Damaged glasses should be replaced.
  4. Handling: Avoid placing the glasses lens-down to prevent scratching.
