OVERVIEW

Advanced Eye Protection for Industrial Cutting and Brazing

The 3M SecureFit 500 Series Safety Glasses represent a significant evolution in personal protective equipment, specifically designed to address the dual challenges of comfort and compatibility. This model, featuring a Green IR 5.0 lens, is engineered for workers engaged in cutting, brazing, and soldering operations where infrared radiation protection is mandatory. Unlike standard safety eyewear that often compromises on fit to achieve protection, the SecureFit 500 series utilizes 3M’s proprietary Pressure Diffusion Temple (PDT) technology. This innovative design allows the temples to naturally adjust to individual head sizes, diffusing pressure over the ear to enhance comfort without sacrificing security.

One of the standout features of this model is the adjustable ratchet temple system. This allows the wearer to modify the angle of the lens, ensuring a personalized fit that accommodates various facial structures and reduces gaps where debris or radiation could enter. This adjustability is particularly beneficial when wearing other personal protective equipment, such as respirators or ear muffs, as it allows the glasses to sit comfortably without interference. The lightweight polycarbonate construction ensures that the eyewear can be worn for extended shifts without causing fatigue or pressure points.

Visibility is paramount in industrial environments, and the 3M SecureFit 500 excels with its Scotchgard™ Anti-Fog Coating. This advanced coating technology is bonded directly to the lens, providing superior resistance to fogging longer than traditional anti-fog coatings, even after multiple washings. This ensures that workers maintain a clear view of their task, reducing the need to remove glasses to wipe them clean—a common safety hazard. The Green IR 5.0 lens not only protects against infrared radiation but also filters out 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB rays, making these glasses a comprehensive safety solution for hazardous light environments.

Key Features:

  • Customized Fit: Adjustable ratchet temples and PDT technology adapt to the wearer.
  • Superior Clarity: Scotchgard™ Anti-Fog Coating resists fogging in hot and humid conditions.
  • Radiation Protection: IR 5.0 rating suitable for gas welding, cutting, and brazing.
  • Durability: Polycarbonate lenses meet rigorous ANSI and CSA impact standards.

FAQ

These glasses feature a Green IR 5.0 shade, which is suitable for medium to heavy gas cutting and welding applications.

No, IR 5.0 safety glasses are not sufficient for electric arc welding (MIG, TIG, Stick). You require a welding helmet with a much darker shade (typically 9-13) for those processes.

The Scotchgard™ Anti-Fog Coating is designed to be durable and retains its effectiveness for at least 25 washings with water.

Yes, the SecureFit 500 series features adjustable ratchet temples that allow you to change the lens angle for a customized fit.

No, the SecureFit 500 series is not designed as 'Over-The-Glass' (OTG) eyewear. 3M offers the SecureFit 3700 series for OTG applications.

They meet the requirements of ANSI Z87.1-2015 Standard as an Impact Rated Spectacle and CSA Z94.3.

Yes, the Scotchgard™ coating provides both anti-fog and anti-scratch properties to extend the life of the lens.
