HECHANG Optical takes you to a deeper understanding of plastic glasses frames

 

TR90 plastic eyeglass frame

TR90 is an injection thermoplastic. It is extremely flexible, durable, impact-resistant, and lightweight. These are great performance glasses, but avoid alcohol as it may cause the frame material to break. This material should also be labeled as "cold insertion only.".

Advantages: High corrosion resistance, good flexibility, light weight, can reduce the burden on the nose and ears, suitable for use by teenagers. The price is relatively cheap and can print a variety of patterns.

Disadvantage: The frame is difficult to adjust. If adjustments are needed, it is recommended to go to a professional store.

Carbon fiber material, plastic eyeglass frame

Carbon fiber is a combination of carbon fiber precursor and injection molded nylon material that is molded into a mold. This material is black and must undergo coloring treatment. It provides the strength and durability of metal with a plastic appearance.

Advantages: It is very light and super strong: 60% lighter than other materials. When using carbon fiber front, the eye edge must be tightened. Due to the inability to adjust the eye edge curve, it is necessary to cut the lens into appropriate sizes and use the correct reference curve.

Disadvantage: No modifications can be made to the bridge. It is not heat permeable, but heating will make it softer. According to the coating applied to the frame, it may or may not be sensitive to chemicals such as acetone or alcohol.

Plastic eyeglass frames made of polycarbonate PC material

PC, also known as polycarbonate, is a relatively sturdy and lightweight material, making it the preferred choice for sports glasses. Its advantages are durability, not easy to break, and suitable for wearing in harsh environments such as strong light. The disadvantage is that it is not transparent enough and is prone to color difference.
Advantages: This material is lightweight, flexible, and usually comes with an adjustable nose pad, making it resistant to paint peeling.
Disadvantage: This material requires paint and requires high-quality paint spraying technology.

Nylon material plastic eyeglass frame

Nylon is a thermoplastic polyamide material formed by injection molding. Nylon is durable, lightweight, almost unbreakable, highly impact resistant, low allergenic, lightweight, and flexible. It is resistant to multiple solvents. Nylon is difficult to adjust. This material will dry over time and must be soaked in water once a week so it will not become brittle. This material will not shrink. The temples must have a steel wire core for adjustment.
Advantages: Thermosetting environmentally friendly materials, high hardness, and good elasticity.
Disadvantage: It is difficult to adjust.

TAC materials

TAC is a new type of plastic material that is more resistant to scratches compared to other plastic materials. Meanwhile, TAC material is composed of multiple layers of film, ultimately forming transparent eyeglass lenses. After treatment, th e TAC material has excellent UV protection performance.

Moreover, the application of TAC materials in the field of eyeglass lenses has also demonstrated its unique advantages. Due to its multi-layered structure, TAC material can effectively disperse and reduce the direct exposure of external light to the eyes during the production process of glasses, providing a more comfortable visual experience. Whether facing strong sunlight or dazzling electronic screens, TAC lenses can effectively reduce eye fatigue, making it easier for wearers to face daily life and work with ease.

In addition, the high transparency of TAC material enables the lenses to maintain clarity while also possessing good aesthetics. Whether it's nearsightedness, hyperopia, or astigmatism, wearing TAC lenses can make people look more natural and comfortable. Meanwhile, due to the scratch resistance of TAC material, even if accidentally touched or rubbed during daily use, it will not easily leave scratches, maintaining the long-lasting beauty of the glasses.

In terms of environmental protection, TAC materials have also demonstrated their sustainability. Due to its recyclability, discarded TAC lenses can be effectively recycled and reused, reducing environmental pollution. In addition, the production process of TAC materials is also relatively environmentally friendly, reducing the emission of harmful substances and contributing to green production.

In summary, TAC material, as a new type of plastic material, has demonstrated its various advantages in the field of eyeglass lenses. Whether in terms of scratch resistance, UV resistance, comfort, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness, TAC lenses are an excellent choice worth recommending. With the continuous progress of technology and the increasing demand for quality of life, it is believed that the application of TAC materials in the field of eyeglass lenses will become increasingly widespread, bringing more guarantees and improvements to people's visual health and quality of life.

Natural materials

Natural materials used to make eyeglass frames include tortoiseshell, special wood, and animal horns. Generally, wooden eyeglass frames and bull horn frames are rare, while the most common ones are tortoiseshell eyeglass frames.
Hawksbill material is a glasses frame made from hawksbill shells produced in tropical oceans, mainly in the West Indies. Its advantages are light weight, beautiful luster, easy processing and polishing, malleability when heated, ability to be joined when heated and pressurized, non irritating to the skin, and durability with preservation value. Among various eyeglass frames, it belongs to high-end products and is very popular among middle-aged and older male wearers. Its disadvantage is that it is more prone to breakage compared to materials such as celluloid, but it can be repaired by bonding after breakage. When displaying at the counter, it is necessary to place it in water to prevent dryness. Ultrasonic cleaning should not be used during use or maintenance; otherwise, it will turn white and lose its luster. Due to the fact that hawksbill is a banned animal in the ocean, its production is limited and its price is expensive.
