Discover lightweight comfort and versatile protection with our collection of plastic and acetate prescription safety glasses. Crafted from high-density nylon polymers, TR90 composites, and reinforced acetates, these frames offer outstanding impact resistance and durability while keeping frame weight to a minimum. Ideal for professionals who wear protective specs for eight or more hours a day, plastic frames reduce nose bridge pressure and stay comfortable throughout long shifts.
In addition to comfort, high-grade plastic and acetate materials provide inherent chemical resistance and non-conductive properties, making them suitable for electrical work, laboratories, and manufacturing lines. Every plastic safety frame in our catalog is fully certified to BS EN166 standards and features integrated or attachable side shields to keep your eyes safe from all angles.

Plastic & Acetate Safety Frames
Polymer and acetate materials are engineered to absorb mechanical kinetic energy without snapping. When subjected to site impacts, high-grade plastic frames flex slightly to dissipate force, providing a secure housing for your custom shatterproof lenses. Their corrosion resistance also ensures that frame hinges and chassis surfaces won't degrade when exposed to sweat, moisture, or mild solvents.
A major benefit of plastic safety eyewear is its non-conductive nature. Unlike metal frames, plastic frames do not transfer heat or conduct electricity, making them an essential safety choice for electricians, utility workers, and electronics manufacturing technicians who operate near open circuits or energized equipment.
Available in a variety of modern styles—from classic rectangular profiles to wraparound sport contours—our plastic and acetate safety glasses look like everyday fashion eyewear while delivering certified industrial protection. Custom-fitted with your exact single vision, bifocal, or varifocal prescription, these frames offer an optimal combination of style, safety, and all-day wearability.

Frequently Asked Questions: Plastic & Acetate Safety Frames
1. Are plastic safety glasses as strong as metal safety frames?
Yes. Our plastic safety frames are crafted from high-impact polymers like TR90 and high-density nylon that pass the exact same BS EN166 impact resistance tests as metal frames.
2. Are plastic safety frames non-conductive?
Yes, all-plastic safety frames contain no exposed metal parts, making them non-conductive and safe for electrical work.
3. Are acetate safety glasses resistant to chemicals?
High-grade acetate and nylon polymers resist chemical corrosion better than many metals, making them well-suited for lab environments and industrial spraying.
4. Can strong prescriptions be fitted into plastic safety frames?
Yes, plastic safety frames feature thick rim profiles that conceal thick lens edges, making them an excellent choice for higher prescription powers.
5. How do I clean my plastic prescription safety specs?
Clean your lenses and frames using mild soap and lukewarm water or dedicated optical cleaning sprays. Avoid harsh alcohol-based solvents that could affect coatings.
