3M Virtua AP Safety Glasses
The 3M Virtua AP safety glasses deliver economical eye protection for workers in construction, manufacturing, mining and other industrial settings. A wraparound frame with integrated side shields extends coverage around the eyes while contoured temples hold the glasses securely without pressure points. The clear hard-coat polycarbonate lens absorbs 99.9% of UV radiation and resists impact from flying debris during chipping, grinding, drilling and similar tasks. Model 118190000020 is supplied new and ready for immediate use.
Lightweight design minimises heat build
Weighing very little, the frames reduce the thermal load on the face during long shifts in warm environments. The open wraparound geometry allows air to circulate freely around the lenses, limiting fogging without the need for powered ventilation. No batteries or electrical connections are required, so there is zero power draw and no electronic noise. The hard-coat finish resists scratching that can scatter light and increase eye strain under bright site lighting.
Hard-coat lens and side shields extend usable life
The polycarbonate lens coating resists abrasion from dust and particles common in sanding, machining and masonry work, keeping optical clarity high for longer. Integrated side shields eliminate the separate clip-on accessories that can detach or be lost, simplifying compliance checks. No specialised cleaning solutions or proprietary software are bundled; standard lens wipes or mild soap and water maintain the glasses. The economy pricing allows companies to replace worn units promptly rather than stretching service intervals.

Questions about this item
How do I put on the 118190000020 safety glasses so the integrated side shields actually protect my eyes?
Place the frames on your face and slide the contoured temples over your ears until they sit snugly without pressure; the wraparound design and built-in side shields then seal the eye area without any separate clip-on parts to position.
When should I replace the 11819 lenses if they keep absorbing 99.9% UV?
Replace the eyewear whenever the polycarbonate lens shows scratches, pits, clouding or any crack that could weaken impact resistance; UV absorption itself does not degrade, but optical damage reduces the protection the wraparound design is meant to give.
What is the first limitation I will hit if I wear the 118190000020 glasses all day in a hot, dusty shop?
The economy-rated polycarbonate lens lacks an anti-fog coating, so sustained heat and humidity will cause fogging before the frame comfort or UV protection becomes an issue.
