Clauss, a leader in fiberoptic/Telecom tools, has developed a Fiber - Safe safety kit specifically for working safely with glass fiber. Its contents include a Fiber - Safe polishing/work mat, fiber scraps trash can, splinter removal tweezer, ten bifurcated cleaning wipes, each with a self-contained alcohol dispensing tube, and safety glasses. Each kit is provided in a see-through merchandising tube with a hang tab for display board or rack.

Polishing Work Mat - The vinyl 35.5 cm x 56cm (14" x 22") black work mat serves a dual purpose. Its primary function is to allow you to see the fiber scraps instead of trying to find them on a lighter colored work surface. It can also serve as a sub-surface for some polishing applications. Instead of using a hard, non-giving surface, users have a resilient mat that depresses easily and allows users to quickly pick up the fibers you are working on.

Fiber Scraps Trash Can - The disposable fiber scraps trash can gives users the safest method of disposing of glass fiber scraps because it can be incinerated when full.

Splinter Removal Tweezer - The splinter removal tweezers Teflon coating provides the cushioning you need to remove glass fiber splinters without shattering or breaking the glass.

Bifurcated Cleaning Swipes - Users will really appreciate the bifurcated (two-pronged) swipes that put an end to working with messy bottles of alcohol and hand wipes to clean fiber ends before splicing, cleaving, or terminating fiber. The tube contains 99% isopropyl alcohol. Hand pressure breaks the seal, and the alcohol is dispensed only when you squeeze the tube, reducing evaporation and alcohol waste.

Safety Glasses - The safety glasses, which should always be worn when working with fiber, complete the kit. They have a single lens wrap-around feature to provide additional safety, the latest technology in safety glasses.
