TLM Laser, as distributor in the UK
and Ireland for Univet of Italy, has
introduced Sylex, a new material
developed by the Research &
Development department of Univet
that is said to afford very high
protection levels for its safety eyewear.

Its special chemical
formulation enables it to reach
protection levels according to
EN207:2009: 190-315 D LB8 +
IR LB5, 315-1400 D LB6 +
IRM LB7, 1400-11000 DI LB4.

The company says such
protection levels are usually achieved
with the addition of metal inside the
frame; Univet products with Sylex
achieve them due to the chemical
structure of the material, which offers
a good resistance to a direct hit of the
laser. Protection is combined with
light weight so that the user can wear
the spectacles in comfort for
complete shifts.
