layer, a small current is introduced
into the lens. This produces enough
heat to clear up fog in a matter of
seconds. " Powered by two lithium
batteries, these safety goggles are
rechargeable with a standard microUSB
cord or with a standard wall
charger, " says Jack Cornelius, Abom
Ceo. " These aren't inexpensive, disposable
goggles, but they will ensure
that your workers keep their goggles
on because with the press of a button,
they will be fog-free for an entire
work day. "
" Chemical workers face very dyFigure
4. Abom's safety goggles feature inner lens surfaces that are scratch-coated and have a transparent,
thin-film conductive layer through which a small current is introduced and produces enough heat
to clear up fog in a matter of seconds
Spearing (Figure 3). It is available on
the company's Snap and Mega protective
eyewear lines.
Similarly, Abom, Inc. (Portland,
ore.; www.abom.com) has introduced
safety goggles featuring
kLAIr technology to prevent fogging
(Figure 4). However, this is not
a coating. with kLAIr, the inner lens
surfaces are scratch-coated on a
dense polycarbonate lens to reduce
or eliminate scratches from normal
use and cleaning and then, using
a transparent, thin-film conductive

so as manufacturers of protective
gear, it is our goal to bring innovative
solutions that allow them to do their
jobs safely and effectively and return
home to their families every night, "
says Domnisch. And, it would appear
that PPe manufacturers are striving
to provide garments, gloves and
eyewear that will help ensure safety
in the harshest of environments. n

More and more, business in the Chemical Process Industries
(CPI) is not local, it's global. To keep up with this rapidly
evolving marketplace, you need a magazine that covers it all,
not just one country or region, not just one vertical market,
but the entire CPI. With editorial offices around the world,
Chemical Engineering is well-positioned to keep abreast of all
the latest innovations in the equipment, technology, materials,
and services used by process plants worldwide. No other
publication even comes close.
