Pyramex-Schutzbrille für näherungsnahe Anwendungen

What makes the Pyramex Proximity different from standard safety glasses?

The defining feature of the Pyramex Proximity is its removable flame-resistant foam gasket that seals around the frame perimeter, substantially reducing the ingress of liquid splash, fine particles, and wind-driven debris from below and the sides. Standard open-frame safety glasses leave gaps at the frame edges. The Proximity's foam seal provides closer protection to indirect-vent safety goggles while remaining significantly lighter and less bulky.

Is the foam padding on the Pyramex Proximity permanent?

No. The flame-resistant foam gasket is removable. This allows the Proximity to function as a standard open-frame safety spectacle when splash or particle ingress is not a concern, or as a foam-sealed unit for higher-risk environments. The gasket is made from a combination of nylon and EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) foam, providing both comfort and flame-resistance.

Are the Pyramex Proximity glasses ANSI rated for high-impact protection?

The Pyramex Proximity meets ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 safety standards for eye protection. Some lens/frame combinations also carry CE EN 166 certification. The polycarbonate lenses are scratch-resistant and provide 99% UV protection. For the highest impact standard, look for the ANSI Z87.1+ designation on the specific variant.

Can the Pyramex Proximity be worn over prescription glasses?

The Pyramex Proximity is designed as a primary eyewear safety spectacle, not as an OTG (over-the-glass) goggle. Slim co-injected temples may allow limited compatibility with thin prescription frames, but for reliable fit over prescription glasses, a purpose-designed OTG safety goggle is recommended. The 135 mm hinge-to-hinge width provides a standard adult fit.

Does the Box of 12 option offer a cost savings for department or unit orders?

Yes. The Box of 12 configuration is designed for department, clinic, or unit-level procurement where multiple providers require eye protection PPE. Bulk purchasing reduces per-unit cost and ensures consistent availability across a team. Both Single Unit and Box of 12 are available through MED-TAC International.
