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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Lucas Products Corporation was purchased by Robert Urfer, beauty industry professional with a background in sales and marketing. Robert is committed to expanding the organization's product offering in response to the evolving needs of salon, spa and beauty professionals while maintaining integrity in safety, price and manufacturing in the USA.
Lucas Acrylic Cleaner and Super Sunnies EVO Flex were launched to meet the expanding needs of the tanning and dermalogical markets. Lucas Acrylic Cleaner was invented as an answer to cleaning tingle tanning lotions from tanning beds while Super Sunnies EVO Flex offered tanning enthusiasts as well as patients of red light therapy a protective eyeshield with slimmer eye cup made from a flexible polymer.
Born from a desire to create the highest available pathogen-killing disinfectant at the lowest price per use in the salon, spa and beauty industry, LUCAS-CIDE concentrated disinfectant product line hit the market in 2013.
In response to demand within the beauty, tanning and gym industries, we launched LUCAS-CIDE #222 RTU. This popular disinfectant requires no mixing with water and kills germs and viruses in 60 seconds.
Disinfectants became an absolute necessity to combat Human Coronavirus (COVID-19) during the pandemic of 2020 and beyond.
