Vaultex V406 Safety Glasses – Clear and Dark Lens Options

The Vaultex V406 safety glasses are adjustable protective spectacles designed for routine eye protection in construction sites, workshops, factories, warehouses and outdoor work areas. They are available with either a clear lens or a dark smoke lens, allowing buyers to choose the option that best matches their workplace lighting conditions.

Both versions feature an impact-resistant polycarbonate lens with an anti-scratch coating and 99.9% UV protection. The black half-frame, wraparound design, integrated side shields and upper brow bar provide a broad viewing area with additional coverage towards the sides of the eyes. Adjustable black temples with flexible tips allow the wearer to modify the fit.

Select the Right Lens for Your Working Environment

The Vaultex V406 safety glasses are offered in clear and dark lens variations. Both options retain the same frame construction, anti-scratch coating, UV protection and adjustable temple design.

Clear Lens for Indoor and General Work

The clear-lens option is suitable for indoor workplaces, low-light areas and tasks where unrestricted visibility is required. It allows the user to view tools, materials and the surrounding work area without the colour change associated with a tinted lens.

Clear Vaultex V406 safety glasses are suitable for environments such as:

• Engineering workshops
• Manufacturing and assembly areas
• Warehouses
• Indoor construction work
• Mechanical maintenance
• Carpentry and woodworking
• Property maintenance
• General inspection work

Although the lens is clear, it still provides the specified 99.9% UV protection.

Dark Lens for Outdoor and Bright Conditions

The dark smoke-lens option is intended for outdoor work and brightly lit environments. Its tinted appearance helps reduce discomfort from strong daylight and glare while maintaining the same impact-resistant polycarbonate construction and anti-scratch coating.

Dark Vaultex V406 safety glasses are suitable for:

• Outdoor construction
• Road maintenance
• Landscaping
• Agricultural work
• Open loading yards
• Outdoor inspection
• Site supervision
• Bright industrial environments

The dark lens is not a welding filter and must not be used for welding, flame cutting or other activities requiring a certified optical filter.

Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Lens

The Vaultex V406 safety glasses use a curved, impact-resistant polycarbonate lens. Polycarbonate provides practical protection for general workplace environments where the eyes may be exposed to small flying particles, chips and debris.

The wraparound profile extends the lens towards the sides of the eyes. Integrated side shields provide additional lateral coverage, while the brow bar supports the upper section of the spectacles.

These are open safety spectacles rather than sealed goggles. Work involving chemical splashes, fine dust, liquid mist or particles entering from several directions may require closer-fitting protective eyewear.

Anti-Scratch Lens Coating

Both clear and dark Vaultex V406 safety glasses have an anti-scratch coating. This coating helps reduce minor surface marks caused by ordinary handling, cleaning and repeated workplace use.

Anti-scratch does not mean scratch-proof. Rough cloths, dirty gloves, abrasive surfaces and unsuitable chemicals can still damage the lens. Proper cleaning and storage help preserve visibility and extend the usable condition of the spectacles.

The verified product specifications identify the lens coating as anti-scratch. Anti-fog performance should not be advertised unless it is specifically indicated on the supplied packaging, lens markings or supporting documentation.

Adjustable Temples with Flexible Tips

The Vaultex V406 safety glasses feature adjustable black temple arms with flexible tips. The adjustable construction allows the temples to be repositioned to improve how the spectacles sit in front of the eyes.

The flexible tips provide a less rigid contact point around the sides of the head. The fit should always be checked before work begins to ensure that the lens is correctly positioned and does not interfere with other personal protective equipment.

Wraparound Half-Frame Design

The V406 uses a black half-frame rather than a complete frame surrounding the lens. This design incorporates:

• A curved wraparound lens
• Integrated side shields
• An upper brow bar
• Adjustable black temples
• Flexible temple tips
• Clear or dark lens options

The side shields and wraparound profile provide greater lateral coverage than conventional flat-lens spectacles.

EN 166 and ANSI Z87.1:2003 Specifications

These specifications relate to protective eyewear requirements. However, no single pair of spectacles is suitable for every eye hazard.

Cleaning and Storage

Rinse away loose dust before wiping the lens. Clean the Vaultex V406 safety glasses using clean water, mild soap or an appropriate lens-cleaning solution.

Dry the lens using a soft, clean and lint-free cloth. Avoid wiping it with dirty clothing, rough paper, abrasive fabric or contaminated gloves.

Store the spectacles in a clean, dry pouch or protective case away from sharp objects, abrasive materials, excessive heat and chemical contamination.

Inspection and Replacement

Inspect the spectacles before each use. Replace them when:

• The lens is cracked or distorted
• Deep scratches interfere with visibility
• The frame is broken
• The temple arms no longer hold securely
• The flexible tips are damaged
• The brow bar or side shields are broken

Damaged eye protection should not remain in workplace circulation.

Important Safety Limitations

The V406 is an open-arm safety spectacle. It is not designed as:

• A sealed chemical-splash goggle
• Fine-dust or mist-protection eyewear
• A welding filter
• Laser-protection eyewear
• A full-face shield
• A dedicated over-prescription-glasses model
• Respiratory protection

The dark smoke lens may reduce brightness but does not provide welding-shade protection.
