Detailed Description

The 65336 V30 Nemesis from KleenGuard provides the ANSI Z87.1 rated eye protection standard that OSHA mandates for high-velocity particle environments — grinding, cutting, fastener installation, and material handling operations where airborne fragments present eye injury risk. The polycarbonate lens construction absorbs impact energy without shattering, preventing the secondary injury from lens fragmentation that non-rated eyewear would produce in an impact event. The smoke anti-fog foam gasket lens tint provides the optical performance appropriate for the specific work environment and lighting conditions the 65336 is designed for.

The anti-fog coating on the 65336 addresses one of the primary causes of safety eyewear removal in industrial environments: lens fogging during transitions between temperature zones and during high-exertion work where facial perspiration generates humidity against the lens surface. Workers who remove fogged eyewear to wipe the lens are briefly unprotected in environments where exposure is continuous — the anti-fog coating of the 65336 maintains clear vision through these transitions, reducing the compliance interruptions that create eye injury exposure windows.

The foam gasket of the 65336 creates a secondary seal between the lens perimeter and the facial skin, providing protection against fine dust particles and liquid splash that wrap-around frames without gaskets cannot address. Grinding operations produce ultrafine abrasive dust that infiltrates the space between an open-sided safety glass frame and the face, reaching the eye from angles that the lens itself blocks. The foam gasket eliminates this infiltration path while maintaining the lightweight comfort profile that makes the 65336 practical for extended industrial shift wear.

UV400 protection in the 65336 lens blocks ultraviolet radiation up to 400 nanometers, providing comprehensive UV-A and UV-B protection for outdoor construction and utility workers. Cumulative UV exposure is a leading cause of occupational eye disease including cataracts and photokeratitis — conditions that develop over years of unprotected outdoor work. The UV400 coating provides this protection invisibly regardless of lens tint, extending beyond what standard lenses provide without affecting visible light performance.

Applications and Use Cases

• Manufacturing and fabrication — grinding, cutting, and stamping operations
• Construction — structural work, concrete cutting, and fastener installation
• Woodworking — fine dust environments where gasket seal prevents particle infiltration
• Automotive service — engine work and body repair with fragment and chemical splash hazards
• Utilities and infrastructure — outdoor work with UV exposure and mechanical hazards
• Chemical handling — splash protection for industrial cleaning and chemical process work

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 65336 ANSI Z87.1 certified?

Yes. Meets ANSI/ISEA Z87.1 high-velocity impact standards. Z87.1 marking appears on the frame and lens.

What lens tint does the 65336 have?

Smoke Anti-Fog Foam Gasket — glare reduction for bright outdoor conditions.

How effective is the anti-fog coating?

Anti-fog coating reduces fogging during temperature transitions and exertion-induced condensation. Keep the coating clean and free from oil contamination that degrades anti-fog performance.

Does the 65336 protect against UV?

Yes — UV400 protection blocks UV-A and UV-B up to 400nm for outdoor workers with cumulative sun exposure.
