3M S1103S Solus safety glasses with amber anti-fog polycarbonate lenses.

3M Solus Yellow Anti-Fog Safety Glasses: Enhanced Visibility and Certified Protection

 3M product number: S1103SGAF.

This model of safety glasses is also available with other lens colors to protect against specific hazards: clear lenses to provide highly visual acuity (item YAS1101), and gray lenses to alternate between indoors and outdoors (item YAS1102).

The 3M Solus safety glasses with yellow lenses are specially designed for professionals working in low-light environments. Thanks to their amber polycarbonate lenses, they enhance visual contrast while providing impact protection. The Scotchgard anti-fog coating integrated into the lenses ensures clear vision in humid environments or those subject to temperature fluctuations. Conform to CSA Z94.3 and ANSI Z87.1, these protective glasses are perfectly suited for the industrial, manufacturing, and maintenance sectors.

These lightweight, unisex glasses are made of polycarbonate, a material resistant to impacts. This amber (yellow) lens model is ideal for reducing bluish light in low-light conditions (overcast sky, mist, or fog). These glasses increase contrast while protecting against dust, particles, and projectiles. The lenses protect against UVA and UVB rays with 99.9% efficiency. The Scotchgard coating is integrated into the lenses for added durability. The glasses can be washed up to 25 times without affecting the quality of the coating.

These glasses feature black and blue patterned arms made of polycarbonate. The ends of the arms are made of flexible thermoplastic rubber. The nose pads are made of flexible PVC and can be adjusted for better comfort.

In accordance with the CSA Z94.3 standard, the arms of these glasses are marked with the CSA logo and the standard number. In accordance with the ANSI Z87.1 standard, the arms of these glasses are marked with the 3M Z87+ stamp and the lenses with the 3M+ U6 stamp. These markings indicate that the glasses have passed a high-velocity impact resistance test and a high-mass impact resistance test.

• The high-velocity impact resistance test (ANSI Z87 basic standard) is performed with a 6.4 mm (¼ inch) steel ball launched from 46 m (150 feet) at the mannequin at a speed of 164 km/h (102 mph). To pass the test, the lenses must remain in their frame, must not fracture or touch the mannequin’s eye by deforming, and no part must detach inside the glasses. This test assesses the integrity of the glasses during activities that may project small particles, such as sharpening, crushing, shredding, machining, etc.
• The high-mass impact resistance test (ANSI Z87+ standard) is performed with a 500 g (1.1 lb) pointed weight. This weight is dropped from a height of 127 cm (50 inches) directly onto the glasses worn by a mannequin. The same criteria apply to pass the test except for lens deformation. This test assesses the integrity of the glasses in the event of impact with a heavy object, such as a tool, or with a stationary object.
• The U6 mark indicates that the lenses offer maximum protection against UV rays (level 6 out of 6).

Technical Features of 3M Solus Glasses with Yellow Lenses

Installation and Adjustment of Solus Yellow Safety Glasses

Solus glasses require no complex installation. Simply position them correctly on the face, ensuring the arms rest comfortably behind the ears. Their design allows for stable wear, even during movement, and compatibility with safety helmets or protective masks.

Maintenance of Safety Glasses with Amber Lenses

To preserve the effectiveness of the Scotchgard anti-fog coating and the clarity of the yellow lenses, clean the glasses with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh solvents that could damage the coating. Store the glasses in a rigid case when not in use to prevent scratches and deformation.

Usage Tips for Optimal Eye Protection in Low Light

Use Solus yellow glasses in environments where visibility is reduced, such as workshops, warehouses, or maintenance areas. The amber lenses enhance contrast and reduce visual fatigue. Wear them continuously to ensure constant protection against dust, particles, and UV rays. Replace them if visible damage appears.
