Technical Vault: KleenGuard™ V30 Nemesis™ Safety Glasses 25676

The KleenGuard™ V30 Nemesis™ Safety Glasses 25676 are reusable, non-prescription industrial safety glasses designed for workers who need clear task visibility, regular-size wraparound coverage, high-impact protection, ultraviolet filtration, sweat-management features, secure retention, and comfortable extended wear. This configuration combines a clear polycarbonate lens, black sport-style frame, patented Flex-Dry™ nosepiece, flexible temple arms with Comfort Touch soft-grip tips, and an included neck cord.

SOSCleanroom identifies SKU 25676 as the clear uncoated configuration. This means the product should not be represented as having KleenVision™ premium anti-fog technology. Some legacy SKU-specific distributor records describe the lens as anti-scratch or scratch resistant, while current Ansell family documentation lists scratch-resistant hardcoat among available Nemesis lens treatments. Because those records do not consistently establish the exact coating supplied on every 25676 production lot, this Technical Vault preserves the catalog designation and recommends lot-specific verification before making a formal hardcoat claim.

This Technical Vault entry consolidates the product’s identity, lens-treatment distinction, optical characteristics, impact classification, frame geometry, comfort system, neck-cord use, optional gasket compatibility, PPE integration, controlled-environment considerations, cleaning procedures, inspection criteria, storage practices, packaging, documentation history, and use limitations.

The phrase “clear uncoated” appears in the active SOSCleanroom product name and is the safest catalog designation for SKU 25676. The model does not include KleenVision™ premium anti-fog treatment, mirror treatment, polarization, or a specialized optical filter.

Several historical industrial-supply records describe 25676 as anti-scratch or scratch resistant. Current Ansell product-family documentation also lists scratch-resistant hardcoat as one of the available Nemesis lens coatings. However, the current family sheet groups multiple lens and coating variants together and does not provide a SKU-by-SKU matrix proving that every 25676 lot carries the same hardcoat.

The clear lens is intended for normally illuminated indoor and general-purpose work where natural color recognition, high task illumination, label reading, and inspection accuracy are important. SKU-specific catalog information lists a visible-light-transmission range of 87–93%.

Visible-light transmission is the percentage of visible light that passes through the lens. A high-transmission clear lens preserves more available light than smoke, mirror, bronze, or other tinted configurations.

• Supports natural color recognition
• Supports reading labels, screens, gauges, and process indicators
• Suitable for normally illuminated manufacturing and assembly areas
• Supports inspection, checking, and quality-control work
• Helps preserve visibility in warehouses and facility spaces
• Avoids the deliberate brightness reduction of smoke or mirror lenses
• Does not provide polarized or sunglass-style glare control
• May be unsuitable for intense exterior brightness without further lens-selection review

SKU 25676 does not include the KleenVision™ premium anti-fog coating. Fogging may occur when warm, moisture-containing air contacts a cooler lens and condenses into droplets that scatter light and obscure task details.

The risk of fogging increases with high humidity, rapid temperature transitions, strenuous physical work, heavy perspiration, respirator exhaust, mask leakage, hoods, and other PPE that directs warm air toward the lens.

Do not apply unapproved household detergents, soaps, sprays, wipes, waxes, or anti-fog chemicals. Aftermarket products may leave optical residue, alter surface properties, damage polycarbonate, or conflict with controlled-environment cleaning procedures.

The Nemesis platform uses an 8.25 base-curve wraparound lens. Base curve describes the curvature of the lens surface. A higher-curvature wraparound lens follows the contours of the face and extends coverage toward the sides of the eyes.

Wraparound geometry improves lateral coverage but does not make the eyewear sealed, dust-tight, gas-tight, or suitable for chemical splash. Actual coverage depends on individual facial dimensions and correct frame positioning.

The patented Flex-Dry™ nosepiece is designed to remain flexible, reduce concentrated contact pressure, channel perspiration away from the eyes, and help prevent the glasses from sliding down the nose.

• Flexible contact helps reduce pressure on the bridge of the nose
• Integrated ridges and channels help direct perspiration away from the eye area
• Anti-slide geometry helps maintain lens position
• Stable positioning supports consistent peripheral coverage
• Reduced slippage can decrease repeated eyewear adjustment
• Flexible construction accommodates a range of regular facial profiles
• The nosepiece should be inspected for tears, cracking, deformation, residue, and loss of grip

Flexible temple arms with Comfort Touch soft-grip tips are designed to reduce side pressure and help maintain eyewear position during extended wear.

• Flexible temples accommodate normal head movement
• Soft contact points help reduce pressure behind the ears
• Grip-oriented tips help limit forward movement and slippage
• Lightweight construction supports prolonged use
• Stable retention may reduce repeated face touching
• Temple fit should be checked with earmuffs, hard hats, respirators, hoods, and face shields
• Cracked, stretched, loose, or deformed temples require replacement

Current Ansell product details identify polycarbonate, nylon, thermoplastic elastomer, and stainless-steel screw components in the regular Nemesis construction.

Current Ansell family documentation identifies the regular Nemesis platform as manufactured to comply with ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2020 and as Z87+ high-velocity impact rated.

Older product records may reference ANSI Z87.1-2010, ANSI Z87.1+, or similar legacy wording. Current customer-facing content should use the current manufacturer-published standard while preserving legacy references only for historical or lot-specific traceability.

The Z87+ designation addresses high-impact performance under the applicable spectacle requirements. It does not establish suitability for every eye, face, particle, liquid, radiation, heat, or electrical hazard.

• High-impact certification does not make the glasses chemical-splash goggles
• Wraparound coverage does not create a dust-tight or gas-tight enclosure
• A face shield may be required in addition to primary eye protection
• Fine dust, hazardous aerosols, and multidirectional particles may require goggles
• Welding, cutting, brazing, and torch work require task-specific filter shades
• Laser work requires wavelength-specific optical-density protection
• Electrical arc-flash work requires equipment selected for the applicable incident-energy assessment
• Damaged eyewear must be removed from service regardless of its original rating

The polycarbonate lens filters 99.9% of UVA, UVB, and UVC radiation while remaining visually clear. This supports indoor visibility and general outdoor UV reduction without using a dark visible-light tint.

• UV filtration does not make the lens a welding filter
• UV filtration does not establish infrared-radiation protection
• The lens is not laser-protective eyewear
• The clear lens has no published specialized optical-density rating
• Task-specific radiation hazards require appropriately rated filters
• Intense outdoor glare may require a smoke, mirror, bronze, or polarized configuration

1. Place the glasses on the wearer without excessively spreading the temple arms.
2. Confirm that the Flex-Dry™ nosepiece sits securely without painful pressure.
3. Verify that the clear lens is centered in front of both eyes.
4. Inspect the side and lower lens edges for excessive openings.
5. Ask the wearer to look upward, downward, and from side to side.
6. Confirm that the frame does not obstruct required vision.
7. Ask the wearer to bend, walk, turn the head, and perform representative work movements.
8. Verify that the glasses remain secure without frequent adjustment.
9. Check that perspiration does not cause the frame to slide.
10. Repeat the assessment with all required hard hats, masks, respirators, hoods, face shields, and hearing protection.

SKU 25676 uses the regular-size Nemesis frame. Workers with smaller, slimmer, or narrower facial profiles may obtain better positioning and peripheral coverage from the Nemesis Small platform.

Each pair includes a neck cord intended to keep the glasses accessible when temporarily removed. The cord can support intermittent tasks, visitor programs, maintenance workflows, and transitions between areas with different PPE requirements.

• Helps reduce product loss or misplacement
• Keeps the glasses available for immediate reuse
• Reduces the likelihood of placing eyewear on work surfaces
• Should be inspected for damage, contamination, and secure attachment
• Must be evaluated for entanglement risk around moving machinery
• May require removal in facilities that prohibit cords or loose accessories
• Should not be used as a substitute for proper storage

Current Ansell documentation identifies the regular Nemesis platform as compatible with an optional foam-gasket kit. A compatible gasket may reduce some openings between the eyewear and face, but it does not automatically convert the assembly into a certified chemical-splash, dust-tight, or gas-tight goggle.

• Verify the exact gasket accessory approved for the supplied Nemesis frame
• Repeat the wearer fit assessment after installation
• Confirm that the gasket does not obstruct required peripheral vision
• Inspect the foam for compression, tears, residue, moisture, and contamination
• Evaluate whether the gasket increases lens fogging
• Confirm compatibility with respirators, masks, hoods, and face shields
• Use certified goggles where sealed protection is required

• Manufacturing and production operations
• Assembly, inspection, checking, and quality control
• Packaging, picking, and material handling
• Warehousing, shipping, and receiving
• Construction and general site work
• Facility and equipment maintenance
• Transportation, automotive, and fleet service
• Oil, gas, petrochemical, and energy operations
• Utilities and public-works maintenance
• Indoor work requiring natural color recognition
• Visitor and contractor eye-protection programs
• General occupational eye-protection programs
• Controlled-area support work where open safety glasses are permitted by SOP

The glasses should be evaluated with the complete PPE ensemble. Hard hats, respirators, masks, earmuffs, hoods, face shields, and protective garments can alter eyewear position, redirect airflow, create pressure points, or reduce coverage.

• Confirm that temples do not cross tight-fitting respirator sealing surfaces
• Check whether masks or respirators direct warm air toward the uncoated lens
• Verify that earmuff cushions remain fully seated around the ears
• Confirm that hard-hat suspension components do not displace the frame
• Check compatibility with hoods, bouffants, and head coverings
• Verify that face-shield brackets do not contact or move the glasses
• Confirm secure positioning during representative work movement
• Do not force the glasses over prescription eyewear unless specifically evaluated
• Reassess the PPE combination whenever another component is changed

The employer should identify the source, direction, frequency, duration, and severity of each eye hazard before selecting protection. Spectacle-style eyewear may be appropriate for general impact and particle exposure but may not provide sufficient enclosure for liquid splash, fine dust, aerosols, or multidirectional hazards.

Industrial eye-protection compliance and cleanroom suitability are separate determinations. ANSI/ISEA compliance does not establish sterility, ISO cleanroom classification, low particle release, low outgassing, disinfectant compatibility, or suitability for aseptic processing.

The lightweight frame, Flex-Dry™ nosepiece, and Comfort Touch temples may help reduce slippage and repeated adjustment. However, the lack of premium anti-fog treatment should be considered where masks, respirators, hoods, humidity, or temperature changes could produce condensation and additional face-touch behavior.

• Evaluate the eyewear under the facility’s contamination-control strategy before use
• Confirm that open safety glasses are permitted in the specific classified or controlled area
• Use sealed, sterile, or validated goggles where required by the gowning SOP
• Assign eyewear by employee or controlled area when practical
• Stage cleaned eyewear on the designated clean side of the gowning process
• Handle the glasses by the temples rather than the lens
• Complete fit adjustments before entering the critical work zone
• Do not place eyewear directly on benches, carts, gowning seats, or critical surfaces
• Do not transfer eyewear between uncontrolled and controlled areas without approved cleaning
• Use only facility-approved cleaners and compatible low-lint wipes
• Evaluate whether the neck cord is permitted or creates an entanglement or contamination concern
• Upgrade to an anti-fog configuration when recurring condensation causes repeated adjustment

1. Inspect the eyewear before beginning the gowning sequence.
2. Clean or disinfect the glasses according to the approved facility procedure.
3. Inspect the nosepiece, temple interfaces, attachment points, and neck cord for retained residue.
4. Stage the eyewear in the designated clean-side location.
5. Handle the glasses only by approved contact points such as the temples.
6. Don the eyewear at the step specified by the gowning SOP.
7. Complete fit positioning before final glove donning when permitted.
8. Confirm compatibility with the mask, respirator, hood, bouffant, and face shield.
9. Observe whether the complete PPE configuration causes fogging.
10. Avoid touching or readjusting the glasses inside the critical work area.
11. Follow the defined deviation procedure if the eyewear is dropped, displaced, contaminated, or fogged.

1. Wash and dry hands or don clean gloves as required by the work area.
2. Inspect the lens for loose dust, grit, metal particles, dried residue, or abrasive contamination.
3. Remove loose particles using clean air or a gentle water rinse when permitted.
4. Apply an approved optical cleaner, mild soap and water, or another validated cleaning solution.
5. Wipe gently with a soft optical tissue, microfiber cloth, or approved cleanroom wiper.
6. Clean around the Flex-Dry™ nosepiece, temples, hinges, attachment points, and neck-cord interfaces.
7. Avoid excessive pressure and abrasive wiping.
8. Rinse where required to remove cleaner residue.
9. Dry using a clean, soft, non-abrasive material.
10. Inspect the lens, frame, nosepiece, temples, screws, cord, and safety markings before reuse.

Do not assume that aftermarket anti-fog sprays, detergent films, waxes, wipes, or scratch treatments are compatible with the lens. Unvalidated products may leave residue, create optical distortion, alter visible-light transmission, interact with disinfectants, or damage polycarbonate.

• Use only products approved for polycarbonate safety eyewear
• Confirm that the treatment does not obscure required safety markings
• Evaluate residue, haze, and optical distortion after application
• Validate compatibility with facility cleaning and contamination-control procedures
• Do not use improvised household products
• Select a factory anti-fog SKU when fog resistance is a predictable requirement

Inspect the eyewear before each use and after any impact, chemical contact, abnormal heat exposure, or cleaning process that could affect protection or optical performance. Remove the glasses from service when any condition could reduce fit, clarity, impact performance, or structural integrity.

• Cracked, chipped, warped, or deformed lens
• Deep scratches or abrasion that interferes with vision
• Persistent haze, clouding, distortion, or discoloration
• Crazing, stress cracking, or chemical damage
• Cracked, torn, hardened, or deformed Flex-Dry™ nosepiece
• Loose, cracked, bent, stretched, or deformed temples
• Damaged or detached Comfort Touch components
• Loose, corroded, or damaged screws or hinges
• Loss of secure fit during normal movement
• Excessive side or lower-edge openings caused by deformation or incorrect sizing
• Illegible required safety markings
• Exposure to a significant impact event
• Chemical contact that may have degraded lens or frame components
• Residue that cannot be removed through the approved cleaning process
• Recurring fogging that prevents safe task performance

Store the glasses in a cool, clean, and dry location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, abrasive materials, heavy objects, and chemical vapors. The lens, nosepiece, temples, and cord should be protected from unnecessary contact, compression, and deformation.

• Use an individual case, sleeve, or designated storage compartment
• Do not store with sharp tools, fasteners, metal parts, or abrasive materials
• Do not place heavy objects on the lens or temples
• Avoid prolonged storage in hot vehicles or near process heat
• Keep away from solvent, adhesive, fuel, and cleaning-chemical vapors
• Store cleaned eyewear separately from contaminated PPE
• Do not allow the lens to rest directly against rough surfaces
• Do not force or flatten the frame during storage
• Use the neck cord as a temporary retention aid rather than long-term storage

Ansell lists the regular Nemesis product family as eligible for the RightCycle™ Program. Actual eligibility, contamination restrictions, collection methods, geographic availability, minimum quantities, and accepted product conditions should be confirmed with the current program before the glasses are placed into a recycling stream.

Published SKU-specific information identifies the glasses as individually bagged, with 12 units or pairs in the inner selling package. The SOSCleanroom purchase quantity for SKU 25676 is 12 safety glasses per case. Manufacturer and distributor logistics records may separately reference larger master cartons. Those larger shipping quantities should not be presented as the customer purchase unit unless confirmed by the active SOSCleanroom inventory and purchasing record.
