SE-1004 - ArcOne SE-1000 Series Safety Glasses Smoke Lens Z87 Rated

High-Performance Industrial Eye Protection

The ArcOne SE-1004 from the SE-1000 Series represents a significant step up in industrial eye protection, designed to bridge the gap between basic economy specifications and high-end performance eyewear. In the realm of personal protective equipment (PPE), the integrity of the lens and frame material is paramount. The SE-1000 Series is engineered with a much more substantial amount of polycarbonate material than the standard "eco-specs" frequently found in bulk dispensers. This increased material density translates directly to enhanced structural integrity and impact resistance, ensuring that the eyewear can withstand the rigors of daily industrial use without compromising on safety.

Compliance with safety standards is non-negotiable in professional environments. The SE-1004 is fully ANSI Z87 rated, certifying that it meets strict criteria for high-velocity impact protection. This rating ensures that workers are shielded against flying debris, sparks, and particulate matter common in machining, grinding, and assembly operations. Beyond impact resistance, the optical quality of the lenses is designed to minimize distortion, allowing for precise visual acuity which is critical for detailed technical work and inspection tasks.

One of the critical features of the SE-1004 is its comprehensive radiation protection. The polycarbonate lenses are treated to block 99.9% of UVA, UVB, and UVC rays. In industrial settings, UV exposure isn't limited to sunlight; various arc welding processes and industrial lighting can emit harmful ultraviolet radiation. By providing broad-spectrum UV protection, these glasses help prevent long-term ocular damage such as cataracts and photokeratitis, safeguarding the ocular health of the workforce.

Ergonomics play a vital role in compliance; protective gear that is uncomfortable is often removed, leaving the worker vulnerable. The SE-1004 features a flexible, sporty design that adapts to different face shapes, reducing temporal pressure and ensuring a secure fit without slippage. Weighing in at just 0.044 lbs, the lightweight architecture minimizes fatigue during extended periods of wear. The smoke lens configuration specifically addresses the needs of workers operating in bright environments or transitioning between indoor and outdoor settings, effectively reducing glare and eye strain to maintain productivity and safety.
