As a part of the glasses, the frame not only plays the role of supporting the lens, but also is responsible for the face value of a pair of glasses. Choosing a comfortable frame that fits the skin is even more important for many people than choosing a lens. If the frame is not good, it will be easy to get dizzy when wearing it, and the eyes will be uncomfortable. So, do you know which materials are in the frame? What are the characteristics of these materials? Below, let Leoptique give you a brief introduction to the materials of the six common frames and their characteristics.
1, carbon fiber material
Carbon fiber is the lightest of all eyeglass frames. Material testing has confirmed that carbon fibers of the same size are 29% lighter than titanium and 1/3 lighter than metal. Its essential properties determine that it is lighter, and the weight of the bridge of the nose can be greatly reduced when worn. Compared with other materials, carbon fiber has the advantages of lighter, superior, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, high modulus, environmentally friendly, and friendly skin.
Frame features: Light frame, let you forget to wear glasses; rounded edges, fit and not oppressed. The rugged nature of the carbon fiber material ensures that the ultra-thin temples will not break. The high-purity carbon fiber raw material is lighter than aluminum, but its strength is 20 times that of iron. The frame made of it has the characteristics of wear resistance, collision resistance, soft super-elasticity, high and low temperature resistance.
2, metal material
Modern metal frames are more popular with titanium frames and titanium frames. Titanium is 48% lighter than ordinary metal frames, and has the advantages of acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, high stability, high strength and good elasticity.
Frame features: high melting point, light material, strong corrosion resistance, and strong plating. The glasses frame made of pure titanium is light and comfortable, and has good flexibility. It is not deformed, faded, and does not cause skin allergies. It is more durable.
3, sheet material
Sheet is a kind of frame material that is more popular nowadays. In terms of styling, the advantage of the board is that other materials cannot match. The sheet is a new type of plastic that is lightweight and has high hardness and is not easily deformed, but the surface is easily corroded by sweat.
Frame features: high strength, strong, fine, good quality and durable.
4, TR90 material
TR90 is an upgraded sheet made of high molecular weight material.
Frame features: harmless to the human body, wear-resistant and high toughness, and it is lighter than ordinary plates, reducing the pressure of the nose.
5, plastic steel material
This material of plastic steel does not contain a little metal and is a high-strength molecular material.
Frame features: lighter than the TR90, corrosion resistance and strength and other aspects must be a higher level.
6, non-metallic materials
The non-metals generally used for the manufacture of glasses mainly use synthetic resins as raw materials, and can be roughly classified into two types of thermoplastics and thermosetting resins. Common resin materials are acetate, propionic acid fiber, epoxy resin, carbon, nylon, and the like.
Frame features: can fit the skin, improve comfort and ensure safety.
Billion Super Glasses: Choose the right frame to increase your face value
The material of the frame is generally six such, each material has its own unique advantages, as to what kind of glasses frame to choose, it must be selected according to personal preferences and requirements, at Leoptique.com You can choose frames of different materials to meet your needs.
