763-S2509 - Uvex Astro OTG 3001 Safety Glasses Shade 5.0 IR

Uvex Astro OTG 3001 Series Safety Glasses – Shade 5.0

The Uvex Astro OTG (Over-The-Glass) S2509 safety glasses are designed to provide robust eye protection for industrial workers engaged in gas welding, cutting, and brazing operations. Engineered with the needs of prescription eyewear users in mind, the Astro OTG 3001 platform features a spacious frame design that fits comfortably over most standard prescription glasses. This eliminates the need for expensive prescription safety eyewear or uncomfortable goggle solutions, streamlining safety compliance for facility managers and procurement specialists.

These glasses are equipped with a Shade 5.0 Infra-Red (IR) polycarbonate lens, which is essential for filtering harmful radiation generated during oxy-fuel processes. The lens is treated with a specialized scratch-resistant hard coat (Intra Dura/Ultra-dura technology), significantly extending the lifespan of the eyewear by resisting abrasions from particulate matter common in metalworking environments. The unibody lens construction ensures an unobstructed field of view while providing superior impact resistance that meets or exceeds ANSI Z87+ and CSA Z94.3 standards.

Comfort and fit are paramount in the design of the S2509. The frames feature adjustable temple lengths, allowing users to customize the fit to their specific head shape and size. This adjustability helps prevent the glasses from slipping during active work and ensures a proper seal around the eyes when worn over other eyewear. The black frame includes a molded brow guard, offering supplementary protection against falling debris and overhead hazards. Weighing approximately 0.15 lbs, these glasses are lightweight enough for all-day wear without causing pressure points or fatigue.

For MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) professionals, the Uvex Astro OTG represents a cost-effective, high-performance solution. It combines essential IR protection with the versatility of an over-the-glass design, making it a staple inventory item for welding shops, fabrication floors, and maintenance departments. The durable construction and reliable optical quality ensure that workers remain protected and productive.
