Lens materials : 

Polycarbonate 

The main feature of polycarbonate is its high impact resistance. An anti-scratch coating is applied automatically to make the material more scratch resistant. Polycarbonate has the added advantage of absorbing all A and B ultraviolet rays from 280 nm up to 380 nm

 

CR39 

This is an organic resin material which is stronger than mineral glass and 50% lighter and which absorbs a proportion of ultra-violet rays (UVB). Its clearness guarantees perfect optical quality. Its surface scratches more easily than mineral lenses. To remedy this, an anti-scratch coating is applied to the lens.

 

Trivex 

Trivex® has theadvantages of polycarbonate and of CR39. Trivex is tougher than CR39 and withstands chemicals and solvents very well, which is not the case for polycarbonate. It is also one of the lightest materials on the market with its density of 1.11g/cm3, providing perfect optical vision and filtering 100% of UVAs and UVBs.

 

 

Coatings 

Anti-Scratch 

ALL OUR LENSES ARE SHIPPED WITH ANTISCRATCH COATING AS STANDARD. Scratches are one of the repetitive problems that have a major impact on visibility and which can shorten product service life. An anti-scratch coating is applied on the surface of the lens thereby making it more scratch resistant.

 

Platinum  

ANTI-FOG AND ANTI-SCRATCH COATING. Contrary to other anti-fog coatings, the Platinum® coating gives permanent fog resistance on both sides and limits the condensation effect. It maintains its properties even after repeated cleaning. This exclusive Bollé Safety coating complies with the EN166 standard with the K&N marking

 

Anti-reflective 

ANTI-REFLECTIVE COATING, WATER REPELLENT, ANTI-STATIC AND REINFORCED ANTI-SCRATCH Lenses without anti-glare coating result in a reduction of light transmission of 10 to 15%, thereby penalising visual quality. Anti-glare coated lenses are perfectly transparent and transmit 99% of light. The anti-glare coating improves clearness and contrast giving a more precise image. Anti-glare coating also strengthens scratch resistance. Combined with an anti-static coating, it prevents dust from sticking to the lens and also has a water-repellent property to prevent water from staying on the lens

 

B-ZEN 

ANTI-GLARE COATING AGAINST BLUE LIGHT, ANTI-STATIC WATER REPELLENT AND REINFORCED ANTI-SCRATCH. The B-Zen coating was designed for people exposed to blue light through LED lighting and screens. This anti-glare, water repellent, anti-static, anti-scratch coating filters about 20% of undesirable blue light. It is very scratch resistant and easy to clean. B-Zen’s anti-static properties also improve clarity and reduce dust deposits on the lens surface, making it easier to clean
