BPI UV-IR Solar Tints

BPI^® UV-IR Solar^® Tints
The unique chemical structure of BPI® Solar® Tints remains stable under extremely punishing lab conditions, offering superior brightness and color uniformity, lens after lens. BPI®'s Solar® Tints fade less than 1% per year, allowing colors to remain almost exactly the same as the first day tinted. They also increase the lens hardness and makes the lens surface more resistant to scratches.

BPI^® Aviator™ Tints
The U.S. military wanted a high performance gray lens for their aviators, so we made them one. When split-second decision making based on perfect color vision could be a matter of life and death, pilots of the U.S. military depend on the perfection of BPI® tinted lenses and tints. BPI® Aviator™ Gray-15 meets the specifications for the performance of their mission and the UV protection and health of their eyes. It has an almost flat transmission curve for minimal color aberration and a unique subtractive curve above 600nm to minimize red flair.
Lenses can be tinted at all densities and the performance characteristics are the same at 15% transmission as they are at 90%. The U.S. military wanted a tint that would not shift color vision, and would enhance photopic and scotopic vision. BPI® Aviator™Gray-15 is a fast tinting dye that only takes about 10 minutes to reach 85% density. It is guaranteed to reduce tinting time for dark sunglass lenses, fade resistant and meets all U.S. and international standards for color recognition.
BPI® Aviator™ Brown-15 allows pilots to have faster night vision adaptation and is useful for activities where critical visual discrimination is important. The U.S. military got all the performance they ordered.
