The Portwest Essential KN safety glasses are sporty, ultra-lightweight safety spectacles that offer optimal eye protection in various work environments. These glasses are specially designed for professionals who require reliable protection against flying particles and harmful radiation throughout their workday. Thanks to their thoughtful design, this model combines a high level of safety with excellent wearing comfort, allowing them to be worn effortlessly all day long.
Which work environments are these Essential KN safety glasses most suitable for?
These safety glasses are ideally suited for sectors such as construction, industry, and logistics, where employees are at risk of eye injury from flying particles or mechanical shocks.
Thanks to certified UV protection according to EN 170 and EN 172 standards, the glasses are also excellent for outdoor work in bright sunlight. The integrated brow guard offers extra safety against falling debris, while the light weight of only 22 grams ensures that the wearer is not hindered during active, physical work tasks.
What do the K and N markings on these Portwest PS19 safety glasses mean?
The K and N markings on the lens refer to specific protective properties according to the European standard EN 166.
The K certification guarantees that the lens is treated with a high-quality anti-scratch coating that is resistant to damage from fine particles. The N certification stands for an advanced anti-fog coating, which prevents the lens from fogging up during temperature changes or intensive exertion. This ensures a consistently clear and panoramic view, which significantly increases workplace safety compared to standard glasses.
The soft TPR nose piece ensures a universal fit, while the dual-color, extremely flexible temple arms provide maximum comfort and a slip-free grip.
