Lucas Products Corporation was founded in 1957. The primary nature of the business was manufacturing coated fabrics for use as heat-sealed mending tapes and patching materials. Other products were manufactured or distributed including Diaper Do, Tem (household disinfectants) as well as Sunnies Eyeshields for sunbathers. In addition the firm acted as an inventors marketing company.

The 1960s
Super Sunnies EVO Eyeshields

In the early 1960s Super Sunnies Eyeshields were introduced. Super Sunnies soon found a specialty niche market application as they were well suited for use as sunlamp goggles to be sold with home sunlamp kits manufactured by General Electric, GTE Sylvania, Westinghouse Electric, and others.

The 1970s

We expanded our textile division. And in 1979 the tanning salon concept was brought to the U.S. from Europe and sales of the Super Sunnies Eyeshields grew exponentially.

The 1980s
Food and Drug Administration Logo

The market for sunlamp goggles in the 1980s redefined the company. We claimed our stake as the industry leader in manufacturing goggles for the indoor tanning market. The FDA wrote new regulations for sunlamp safety at that time and because Lucas Products Corporation had already been manufacturing eyeshields for the industry for many years, we were instrumental in assisting with the creation of new laws. Our goggles meet the highest eye safety standard in the world for ultraviolet (UV) eye protection.

The 1990s
LUCASOL One Step Hospital Grade Disinfectant – Gallon

LUCASOL One Step Hospital Grade Disinfectant and the tools to help salons use the solution correctly were introduced in the early 1990s. In 1997 we developed LUCASOL Instant Hand Sanitizer, launched new colors in our textile division and introduced the LUCASOL Hand™ Touch-Free Dispenser.

The 2000s

In 2000, Super Sunnies iGEAR eyeshields were developed specifically for the indoor tanning market. Their one-piece construction and transparent jewel tone colors, developed from research on the benefits of using color in mood therapy, made Super Sunnies iGEAR eyeshields the new standard for indoor protective eyewear.
