Uvex® Lens Coatings
We have developed proprietary Uvex coatings to meet the demands of even the most challenging work environments.
Anti-fog Coatings
Uvextreme®
Uvextreme anti-fog coating offers superior performance under the most extreme conditions and will not wear off after repeated cleanings.
Uvextreme® Plus
Uvextreme Plus offers the same anti-fog performance as Uvextreme, but with extended wear. It is permanently bonded to the lens which helps it retain its anti-scratch, anti-static and UV protection properties.
Anti-scratch Coatings
Ultra-dura®
Ultra-dura hardcoat is one of the toughest anti-scratch coatings in the world. It is also permanently bonded to the lens and offers excellent scratch and chemical resistance.
Supra-Dura®
Our new Supra-Dura advanced anti-scratch coating is superior in high particulate environments where lens scratching is a severe problem. It lasts 5x* longer than any other anti-scratch coating on the market today.
Dura-streme®Dual Anti-fog/Anti-scratch Coating
Dura-streme technology combines the benefits of industry-leading Uvextreme anti-fog and Ultradura anti-scratch coatings onto one lens. While the advanced anti-fog properties of Uvextreme help keep the interior of the lens clear from fogging, the rugged properties of Ultra-dura anti-scratch coating protect the exterior of the lens from scuffs and scratches, adding up to 3x* more life to lenses.

Chemical Resistance Information
Different coatings offer different levels of resistance to certain chemicals. The chemical resistance chart below will help you determine the preferred coating for environments where workers are subject to chemical exposure.
