ESS
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ESS from 3G Electric.
What is the difference between ESS safety goggles with Nomex® bands and those with elastic bands?
ESS standard firefighting safety goggles are available with either Nomex® or elastic bands. Nomex® bands are specified for heat resistance, making them suitable for firefighting and high-temperature environments. Elastic bands provide a secure fit for general industrial and chemical handling applications. Both band types are paired with clear lenses that are anti-fog, chemical-resistant, and scratch-resistant, and both use indirect venting to reduce fogging while limiting splash ingress. Part numbers differ by band material, so buyers should confirm the specific MPN, such as 740-0377 for Nomex® or 740-0283 for elastic, when ordering.
What does the ESS Soil Sample Kit include and what is it used for?
The ESS Soil Sample Kit, MPN 5035-KITA, is a soil core sampling kit for collecting and preserving soil samples. It includes 5 mL of Sodium Bisulfate, which is used to stabilize volatile organic compounds during field sampling. This kit is intended for environmental testing and field sampling workflows where sample integrity must be maintained. The inclusion of Sodium Bisulfate is a specific feature for preserving volatile compounds, distinguishing it from basic soil collection tools. Buyers should verify the kit contents against their sampling protocol requirements.
Are ESS safety goggles suitable for chemical handling?
ESS standard firefighting safety goggles are described as chemical-resistant and feature indirect venting. Indirect venting reduces fogging while protecting against splashes, which is relevant for chemical handling tasks. The lenses are also anti-fog and scratch-resistant. These properties make the goggles appropriate for environments where chemical splash and fogging are concerns. However, suitability for specific chemicals depends on the chemical and exposure conditions; users should consult their safety data sheets and site hazard assessments. The goggles are available in multiple part numbers with either Nomex® or elastic bands.
What part numbers are available for ESS standard firefighting safety goggles?
The ESS standard firefighting safety goggles line includes multiple part numbers, such as 740-0377, 740-0283, 740-0268, 740-0235, 740-0536, 740-0236, and 740-0380. These vary by band material (Nomex® or elastic) and specific configuration. All share clear lenses with anti-fog, chemical-resistant, and scratch-resistant properties, and indirect venting. When ordering, specify the MPN to ensure the correct band and venting configuration. 3G Electric stocks these SKUs and can provide part-number cross-referencing for procurement.
Does ESS offer prescription inserts for their eyewear?
Yes, the ESS line includes prescription inserts as part of the 77 SKUs available through 3G Electric. These inserts are used with compatible ESS eyewear frames to provide corrective vision for users who require prescription lenses. The catalog includes lenses, frames, and prescription inserts, allowing buyers to configure eyewear to their needs. Specific compatibility depends on the frame model; buyers should verify the insert matches their frame. 3G Electric supplies these components globally.
How does 3G Electric support the ESS product line for global buyers?
3G Electric supplies the ESS line globally, with 77 SKUs covering safety goggles, lenses, frames, prescription inserts, and soil sampling kits. The catalog provides manufacturer part numbers for cross-referencing, and 3G Electric ships worldwide. For procurement specialists, this means access to specific ESS part numbers without regional sourcing constraints. 3G Electric does not claim certifications or partnerships beyond what is explicit in the product data. Buyers can request quotes for specific SKUs and quantities.
