Vaultex V406 Safety Spectacles – Clear and Dark Anti-Scratch Eye Protection

The Vaultex V406 safety spectacles are lightweight protective glasses available with either a clear lens or a dark smoke lens. Both options feature impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses with an anti-scratch coating and 99.9% ultraviolet protection.

Designed for construction, maintenance, engineering, manufacturing and general industrial work, the spectacles have a black half-frame, adjustable temple arms and flexible tips. Their wraparound design, integrated side shields and upper brow bar provide a broad viewing area with additional lateral coverage around the eyes.

Customers can select the lens colour that best suits their working environment:

• Clear lens: Suitable for indoor work, general workshops and areas where clear, unrestricted visibility is required.
• Dark lens: Suitable for outdoor work and brightly lit environments where a tinted lens can help reduce sunlight and glare.

Choose Between Clear and Dark Lenses

The Vaultex V406 safety spectacles are supplied in two lens options while retaining the same protective construction and adjustable black frame.

Clear Vaultex V406 Safety Spectacles

The clear version is designed for tasks where accurate visibility and natural colour recognition are important. It is suitable for indoor workplaces, workshops, factories, warehouses and general maintenance activities.

The transparent polycarbonate lens allows the user to see the work area clearly while providing impact resistance, anti-scratch performance and 99.9% UV protection.

The clear option is suitable for:

• Indoor construction and renovation
• Mechanical workshops
• Warehouses and stores
• Manufacturing and assembly
• Carpentry and woodworking
• Property maintenance
• General DIY work
• Indoor inspections

Dark Vaultex V406 Safety Spectacles

The dark option has a smoke-tinted polycarbonate lens designed for outdoor and brightly lit working environments. The tint helps reduce discomfort caused by strong sunlight and glare while retaining the same anti-scratch coating, impact-resistant construction and 99.9% UV protection.

The dark option is suitable for:

• Outdoor construction work
• Road works and site inspections
• Landscaping and agricultural work
• Outdoor loading yards
• Open-air maintenance
• Bright industrial environments
• General outdoor engineering work

The dark lens is not a welding filter and must not be used for welding, flame cutting or protection against intense optical radiation.

Impact-Resistant Polycarbonate Lens

Both versions of the Vaultex V406 safety spectacles use an impact-resistant polycarbonate lens. Polycarbonate provides a practical combination of strength, low weight and visibility for general workplace eye protection.

The wraparound lens design provides frontal protection while the integrated side shields extend coverage towards the sides of the eyes. This makes the spectacles suitable for environments where workers may encounter light flying particles, chips or workplace debris.

These are open-arm safety spectacles rather than sealed goggles. For tasks involving chemical splashes, fine dust, mist or liquids entering from several directions, choose closer-fitting safety glasses and goggles in Kenya according to the identified hazard.

Anti-Scratch Lens Coating

The lens has an anti-scratch coating designed to reduce minor surface damage caused by normal handling, cleaning and workplace use. This helps the Vaultex V406 safety spectacles retain better visibility when they are cleaned and stored correctly.

Anti-scratch does not mean that the lens cannot be scratched. Abrasive cloths, dirty gloves, rough surfaces and unsuitable cleaning chemicals can still damage the coating.

The verified V406 specifications confirm an anti-scratch coating but do not identify the model as anti-fog. Anti-fog performance should therefore not be advertised unless it is specifically marked on the supplied product or packaging.

99.9% UV Protection

Both the clear and dark lenses provide 99.9% UV protection. The clear version provides UV protection without adding a dark tint, while the dark version is better suited to bright outdoor conditions where tinted protective eyewear is preferred.

UV protection does not make either version suitable for welding or other processes that require a specialised filter shade.

Adjustable Black Temple Arms

The Vaultex V406 safety spectacles have adjustable black temple arms with flexible tips. The adjustable construction allows the fit to be modified for improved positioning and stability, while the flexible tips support comfort around the sides of the head.

Additional design elements include:

• Black half-frame construction
• Adjustable temple length
• Flexible temple tips
• Integrated side shields
• Curved wraparound lens
• Integrated upper brow bar
• Standard adult unisex design

Wraparound Design with Brow Bar

The curved wraparound construction provides a broad viewing area and additional coverage towards the sides of the face. Integrated side shields help reduce exposed gaps beside the lens, while the upper brow bar supports the top section of the spectacle.

For applications requiring wider face coverage, the spectacles can be worn with suitable equipment from our face shields in Kenya collection, provided the selected products fit together correctly.

EN 166 and ANSI Z87.1 Standards

The Vaultex V406 safety spectacles are specified as meeting:

• EN 166
• ANSI Z87.1:2003

These standards relate to protective eyewear requirements. The presence of a recognised standard does not mean that one spectacle is appropriate for every workplace hazard. Buyers should check the product markings and select eye protection according to the task-specific risk assessment.

Care and Cleaning Instructions

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

• Welding goggles or a welding helmet
• Laser-protection eyewear
• A full-face shield
• Prescription over-glasses eyewear

Select the clear or dark version according to the lighting conditions, but always select the type of protective eyewear according to the actual workplace hazard.
