Pyramex Lens Technology and Frame Materials
Pyramex uses polycarbonate lenses across its safety glasses line. Polycarbonate is the standard for ANSI Z87.1+ safety eyewear: it's 10 times more impact-resistant than regular plastic, blocks 99.9% of UVA and UVB by material composition, and is lightweight enough for extended wear. The I-Force model uses a dual-pane lens design — two polycarbonate lenses separated by a dead air space — which provides passive anti-fog performance by insulating the inner lens from temperature changes. This makes the I-Force the best Pyramex option for consistently fogging environments like kitchens, cold storage, outdoor work in variable temperatures, and manufacturing with steam or heat. Standard Pyramex models do not have a coated anti-fog layer, though many are available in anti-fog coated variants (check individual listings for "-AF" options). Frames are made from nylon (TR90) or polycarbonate, with adjustable temple lengths on many models. Most models include rubber nose pieces and temple tips for grip during active work.
ANSI Z87.1+ Compliance and OSHA Requirements
All Pyramex safety glasses in this collection carry the ANSI/ISEA Z87.1+ certification — the "+" marking confirms high-velocity impact testing at 150 fps in addition to the high-mass drop test. The ANSI marking is molded into both the lens and the frame on every model. OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133 (general industry) and 1926.102 (construction) require eye protection to meet ANSI Z87.1. For employers issuing glasses under a safety program, verify that the ANSI Z87.1+ marking is visible on both the lens and the frame as required for compliance documentation. If your hazard assessment requires protection from chemical splash, liquid droplets, or dust entering from the sides or top, move to safety goggles instead — safety glasses do not provide a sealed perimeter.
