We Didn’t Start the Fire… but firefighters live in it every day. In this episode of Behind the Coating, we explore how a supplier set out to build the world’s first in-mask Thermal Intelligence System—and the challenge of protecting a plastic lens that had to survive the heat, smoke, and chaos of a burning building.

Discover how North American Coating Laboratories used a dip-applied polysiloxane hard coat and a high-performance AR coating to transform a vulnerable lens into a rugged, mission-critical optic. Innovation, chemistry, and a nod to Billy Joel and Fall Out Boy all come together in this story of how coatings save lives.
