Product Overview
The PG01 TPE Goggle represents a significant advancement in personal protective equipment, moving beyond standard rigid plastic designs to offer a superior fit and enhanced user safety. Crafted with a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) frame, these goggles are engineered to provide a soft, flexible seal that conforms to the unique contours of the wearer's face. This lightweight design ensures that even during extended shifts, the pressure points typically associated with traditional safety eyewear are significantly reduced, promoting consistent use in hazardous environments.
Key Features
- High-Impact Polycarbonate Lens: The lens provides robust protection against flying debris and impacts, ensuring your vision remains unobstructed and your eyes remain safe from mechanical hazards.
- TPE Flexible Frame: Unlike standard PVC, the thermoplastic elastomer frame maintains its flexibility across various temperatures, creating a secure seal against dust and liquid splashes.
- Anti-Fog Coating: Integrated lens technology prevents the build-up of condensation, which is critical when transitioning between different thermal environments or during physically demanding tasks.
- Adjustable Elasticated Headband: Utilising a blend of polyester and elastane, the strap allows for a precise, secure fit that prevents the goggles from shifting during movement.
Design & Performance
The technical performance of the PG01 is rooted in its material composition. The use of polycarbonate for the lens is a deliberate choice for its high impact resistance and optical clarity. This is paired with a frame made from TPE, a material known for its durability and skin-friendly properties. The lightweight nature of the goggle belies its toughness; it is designed to withstand the rigours of a busy workshop or construction site without compromising on comfort.
The clear lens is specifically selected to provide maximum light transmission, making these goggles ideal for indoor applications or low-light conditions where maintaining true-to-life colour perception and detail is vital for safety and precision.
Why No Customisation?
As a critical piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), these goggles are supplied without customisation. Applying print or embroidery to the strap or frame could potentially compromise the structural integrity of the materials or interfere with the fit and safety certifications. To ensure your team remains fully protected and compliant with safety regulations, we provide these items in their original, tested state.
Use Cases
The PG01 TPE Goggle is a versatile solution for a wide range of trade professionals. It is particularly well-suited for carpenters and joiners who require protection from fine sawdust, as well as plumbers and chemical handlers who need a reliable seal against liquid splashes. Additionally, its lightweight design makes it a preferred choice for mechanics, electricians, and painters who require unobtrusive eye protection that can be worn alongside other PPE such as hard hats or respirators.

Practical Advice
When donning the PG01 goggles, ensure the elasticated strap is adjusted so that the TPE frame sits flush against the skin without being overly tight. This ensures the seal is effective against airborne particulates. For those working in highly dusty environments, it is advisable to check the seal periodically. These goggles are designed to be compatible with most disposable respirators, making them an excellent choice for comprehensive facial protection.
Caring for your product
To maintain the optical clarity and safety performance of your goggles, regular and careful cleaning is required. We recommend rinsing the lenses with cool, clean water to remove any loose grit or debris before wiping. This prevents the abrasive particles from scratching the anti-fog coating during the cleaning process.
Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or solvent-based detergents, as these can degrade the TPE frame and the polycarbonate lens, leading to brittleness or clouding. Instead, use a mild soap solution and a soft microfibre cloth. Allow the goggles to air dry naturally; using high heat sources or paper towels can damage the specialized coatings and warp the flexible frame. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prolong the life of the elasticated strap.
