An innovative development in the Maxim Series of safety eyewear from diversified technology company 3M leverages
more than 50 years of coating chemistry to offer a coating that is five times more scratch resistant than the
company's generic hard coats.
The Maxim Safety Eyewear Series from 3M now includes two additional products in the range, which have been coated with
the new 3M Rugged Anti-Scratch (RAS) Coating. The super-hard coating gives excellent protection in the toughest environments
helping to ensure that lenses stay clear and free of scratches for substantially longer periods. As well as reducing replacement
costs by extending lens life, the RAS hard coating is designed for tough, hazardous environments and also offers good resistance
to degradation caused by contact with chemicals.
RAS coated lenses are designed for a wide range of applications, including chiselling, drilling, milling,
machining, riveting, sanding and sawing.
Maxim and Maxim Ballistic
The RAS coating is available with both Maxim and Maxim Ballistic eyewear products from 3M. Designed to offer excellent
coverage with a good field of vision, both versions of the safety eyewear incorporate an adjustable pantoscopic angle - the angle
of the lens frame to the temple - and adjustable length side-arms. The Maxim Ballistic eyewear products from 3M also have soft-touch
temple tips for increased comfort. Frames are available in black and grey.
Certified safety
The Maxim and Maxim Ballistic eyewear products are CE marked and meet the requirements of EN166:2001. Both models are
Optical Class 1 for prolonged comfortable wear and offer excellent UV protection. The spectacles are FT rated for protection
against high-speed particles at low energy in extreme temperature conditions between -5°C and +55°C. The lenses carry the K
marking to indicate resistance to surface damage by fine particles. The Maxim Ballistic is also tested against the STANAG 2920
ballistic standard.
