Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What is in Frog Spit® Anti-fog?
Answer: Frog Spit® is a highly effective, one step, anti-fog solution containing a proprietary formulation of earth friendly, water soluble, and biodegradable ingredients. Featuring pH-neutral, biodegradable surfactants, Frog Spit is completely petroleum distillate FREE. Contains NO silicone, NO alcohol, sulfates, chlorine, formaldehyde, carcinogens, phenol, DEA, parabens or heavy metals. Only safe, earth friendly ingredients.
Question: Is in Frog Spit® Anti-fog Safe for use on Prescription Glasses?
Answer: Frog Spit® is safe to use on all glass and plastic surfaces. While Frog Spit will work on most prescription glasses, the exception is when lenses are coated with certain exotic “Hydrophobic” (repells water) coatings. These coatings repel the application of any liquid based anti-fogs. Other lenses may have a special UV/Non-glare coatings that cause any applied liquid to have a visual streaked “rainbow” effect on the left on the lens.
Question: Why Does it work so well?
Answer: Unlike many other ant-fogs, Frog Spit® is specifically designed to apply and let dry. A micro-thin layer of Frog Spit Solution will prevent water droplets from your breath or perspiration to condense causing the lenses to fog. Many other defoggers require rinsing or buffing, which effectively removes up to 90% of the just-applied protective coating. Frog Spit’s “Apply and let dry” transparent layer provides 100% long-lasting anti-fog protection.
Question: Why is it different from other anti-fogs that I can buy?
Answer: Safe and effective, plus ease of application! Wipe on a wet coat in a couple of strokes. Frog Spit® then dries in seconds-under 5 seconds ready time is typical. Unlike my competitors, there is no spraying or wiping then rubbing, rubbing, rubbing until their coating comes clear. Frog Spit® is safe for all lenses and for the environment. No guess work! The wipe has the precise amount and concentration to apply a micro-thin fog-eating layer on their optics. That insures consistent performance without variability. With most other anti-fogs, you can rub off the protection.
Saves your optics! Unlike other anti-fogs, each wipe offers a fresh soft cloth with no dust or dirt contamination. As a result, your customer’s lenses and expensive optical coatings will last much longer.
Question: We have employees going in and out of freezers. Will Frog Spit® work?
Answer: Possibly. We recommend you ask us for samples to try in this environment. Here is why. You will not get fogging but the water absorbed by Frog Spit® may freeze and obscure vision. That can occur if you have freezers below 0°F and if your employees spend more than a few minutes in the freezer. Also, if your employees are staying inside the freezer for long periods and then moving to warmer locations, the outside of the goggles may fog. So you will need to apply Frog Spit® to the outside and the inside of these optics. We have found that closer fitting goggles work best as the heat from your body may prevent that freezing.
Question: Some of my team members have prescription lenses or glasses. Will Frog Spit® work on those? Is it safe to use if their lenses have special coatings?
Answer: Yes, Frog Spit® will not hurt those lenses. But if those lenses have special coatings that are meant to keep the lenses cleaner (resist water, fingerprints, dirt) you may not get long term anti-fog protection. If those employees have a coating called Crizal®, Frog Spit® will not work at all. Also, if your employees are wearing prescription lenses under a shield or goggles, you need to coat both sides of the prescription lenses to completely prevent fogging.
Question: I notice that you have sold bottles as well as the packaged towelettes. Which is better for industrial uses?
Answer: We think the wipes are better than the bottle for use in a factory setting. Often called a packet, this soft towel is has a pre-measured amount of Frog Spit Solution to insure the perfect application. While the bottle has liquid with the same formula, employees may use too much or too little resulting in much less economy or effectiveness. Also the wipe has a clean applicator each time you open one, so your employees will not grind the lenses with dust or dirt from an old applicator. Last if you are concerned with employees using the product you purchased for a home application (sports related eye protection), the loss of a wipe or two is much less expensive than a bottle disappearing.
Commercial and Industrial FAQs
Question: I have guys spraying hot water and/or steam cleaning parts and equipment? Can Frog Spit® help?
Answer: Probably, although this is one of the tougher challenges. Certainly Frog Spit® will not last as long as it would under drier conditions. Again we suggest you try some of our sample wipes in your environment and on your particular optics. Also sealed goggles may work better than open air safety glasses by limiting the amount of fog-producing moisture that our product is required to absorb.
Question: We paint parts in our plant and are worried about silicone affecting paint adherence. Does Frog Spit® contain silicone?
Answer: Frog Spit® does NOT contain silicone.
Question: We operate a food processing plant and are worried about packaging or product entering our food.
Answer: The Frog Spit® packet towelette is a synthetic felt and is probably not detectable. The Canadian Health department and the FDA have reviewed our product ingredients and instructions and concluded it is safe to apply and use as long as the application takes place before entering the areas where food is processed. That appears to be good practice for that industry.
