Fog Resistance
Fog Resistance coating as known as anti fog is one of most widely used chemical composites that are vital in avoiding building up condensation of water from forming small droplets on surface of lens, typically in glasses, goggles, and safety masks.
Fog resistance coating concept also applies to many familiar products arounds us such as hydrophobic coating on smart phone, transparent sheets for green framing, water resistance watch and many more.
“History view of the anti fog”
The use of fog resistance was developed by National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1965 during project Gemini. The Gemini Capsule improved on the Mercury spacecraft. Basically, the Mercury spacecraft could change only the way it was facing in its orbit. NASA named the Gemini spacecraft and program after the constellation Gemini. Gemini capsule transports two people, which means “twins” in latin. Most impressively, preventing the fog problem inside the helmet during the mission, become the most widely chemical application as for today in plastic optical application such as lens, mirror, goggle, camera len, and binoculars.
As in work standard today, people are required to wear personal safety eyewear to prevent injuries, however, fog on th len during the work the dangerous on the site.
According to “regulation point of view”
As today, 2023 by the having anti fog coating personal safety glasses, is essential to prevent working hazard. Furthermore, the anti fog coating, could also applies to various of optical products.
in the euro work standard, ther eis need and request for having anti rog
In the euro standard of anti fog, most application anti fog, the most of the stuff will having most of the anti fog.
In many sport area, the anti fog is also most needed such as ski goggle, of course. ATV sport. Close sport , with shirld such as ballistic game sport.
