Pure Titanium Frames
With small density, lightweight, not easy to lose color, not easy to rust, and other advantages belong to the glasses industry high-end frame materials. In addition, there are titanium alloy (good firmness), and β titanium frames (high elasticity and strength), which refer to the frame or the main part of the material.
Tungsten Carbon Plastic Steel
It is a new high-tech material with high hardness, lightweight, and corrosion resistance. These frames are comfortable to wear for a long time without leaving traces and are not easy to fatigue. In addition, tungsten-carbon plastic steel also has many advantages such as high tensile strength, high-temperature resistance, flame retardant, non-allergic, anti-static, and so on. It is resistant to low temperatures, and will not break at minus 30 degrees. It can safely protect the lenses, and tungsten-carbon plastic steel frames are suitable for a variety of static and intense sports occasions.
Alloy Frames
Such as aluminium-magnesium alloy, nickel-chromium alloy, etc., corrosion-resistant, good texture, strong and durable, are also the more popular and commonly used materials.
Plate Frames
The composition is generally acetate fiber, with a few high-grade frames composed of propionate fiber, fashionable and durable, easier to match with clothing, but easy to deform in the long term.
A kind of polymer material glasses frame with memory, is currently the more popular international light high-grade glasses frames, moderate pulling, and twisting can also be automatically restored, but the low bridge of the nose is easy to slip off and is not suitable for wearing.
What material is comfortable to wear glasses frames, should be different for each person, it is difficult to conclude. Specifically depends on whether it is suitable for you, you can choose the one that suits you according to your actual situation.
What material is good for eyeglass frames?
With the progress of science and technology, many materials have been applied to glasses frames, so there are a variety of materials for glasses frames. The kind of material is good, can not be generalized, and mainly depends on the needs of individuals, the following new concept editorial is for the analysis of the current market popularity of several materials of the glasses frame.
Metal Frames
At present, the metal materials used for frames have three major categories: copper alloy, nickel alloy, and precious metal. The materials used are required to have a certain hardness, softness, elasticity, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, weight and luster, color, and so on. Therefore, the metal materials used to make frames are almost always alloyed or processed on the metal surface before being used.
Copper Alloy Eyeglass Frames
Generally, copper and copper alloys have poor corrosion resistance and are prone to rust. However, they are low-cost and easy to process. After surface processing treatment, they are commonly used for low-grade frames.
Nickel Alloy Spectacle frames
Generally, nickel alloy has better corrosion resistance and is not easy to rust, and its mechanical properties are also better than copper alloy. Therefore, metal frames are made of nickel alloy.
Titanium and Titanium Alloy Eyeglass Frames
Pure titanium is a silver-white metal. Its density is 4.5, lightweight is its big feature, and it has high strength, corrosion resistance, and good plasticity. Titanium alloys generally used for frames include titanium aluminum, titanium vanadium, and titanium zirconium. Its elasticity and corrosion resistance are better. It is a middle and high-end product in metal frames. Since the early 80’s, the development of titanium frames has mainly been in a few countries, such as Japan, etc. At present, we have gradually solved the problems of cutting, polishing, welding plating, etc., so that titanium frames tend to be popularised.
Plate Material Frames
Plate material eyeglasses frames are made of high-tech plastic memory plates, which are more fashionable in appearance and easy to match with clothes, and it is the necessary eyeglasses frame for many young men and women to show their personality and style.
Tungsten Carbon Frames
Tungsten carbon spectacle frames are made of tungsten carbon material, which has extraordinary flexibility, and its quality is super light so that there is no pressure on the nose and ears in the process of wearing, light and comfortable, which is the better choice of sports people’s spectacle frames.
Natural Materials Frames
Natural materials used to make spectacle frames include special woods, animal horns, and tortoiseshells. Wooden frames and horn frames are rare, but tortoiseshell frames are typical. Tortoiseshell frames are made from the shells of sea turtles from tropical oceans. Tortoiseshell frames are lightweight, glossy, durable, and have a preservation value. They are a high-end product among various types of frames and are very popular among middle-aged and older male wearers. The disadvantage is that it is easy to break but it can be repaired by adhesive after breaking. When it is put on display at the counter, it is necessary to put it in water to prevent it from drying out, and when it is used for maintenance, it is important not to clean it with ultrasonic waves, otherwise it will whiten and lose its luster. Hawksbill turtles are expensive because they are prohibited from being caught in the sea.
What is the lightest material for frames?
As we all know, if you wear glasses, if the frame is too heavy, it will put an indentation on your nose, which is not only uncomfortable for your nose but also for your head, making it very uncomfortable to wear. Therefore, the light material of the glasses is more popular, then which material of the glasses frame is lighter?
First: Pure titanium glasses frame
Pure titanium glasses frame is a lot of myopic friends love, then pure titanium frame material glasses, in the end, heavy it? Since titanium as a new material is used in the manufacture of glasses, the production of a variety of titanium frames, both titanium alloy material, and pure titanium material. Among these materials, pure titanium glasses are high-end and favored by consumers.
The big advantage of pure titanium material is its lightness. Due to the low density of pure titanium material, the glasses frames made of pure titanium material are lighter than those made of ordinary metals and alloys, and the weight of alloy frames is only half of that of alloy frames when weighed by our hands. Pure titanium eyeglass frames have a strong sense of texture, very suitable for people who like business models, show style, and reflecting charm.
Second: Tungsten-carbon eyeglass frames
Carbon is a polyetherimide (PEI) material produced by General Motors in the U.S. Early applied in the field of aviation, the Koreans first applied this material to the eyeglasses industry. Tungsten-carbon material, which has been awarded the V1 standard of the U.S. Pharmacopoeia, is widely used. It is widely used in medical treatment, electronic and electrical appliances, automobiles, aviation, and so on. Plastic profiles are dense and anti-aging, thus also adapting to the use of special places such as sun exposure and humidity. Is tungsten carbide frame material light? The weight is also very light, as long as the weight of half of the traditional plate, made of frames for a long time wear will not leave traces, but also not easy to fatigue, comfortable to wear. Tungsten-carbon spectacle frames are cost-effective and very suitable for students.
Third: Thin plate glasses frames
Thin sheet plate glasses are upgraded above the foundation of plate glasses, which inherit the characteristics of plate glasses with rich colors, fashionable styles, easy to match with clothes, and interpret the classics. A big progress has been made in terms of weight, that is, thin sheet plate glasses are only half the weight of plate glasses, very lightweight, and the style is also quite fashionable, which is a better choice for many fashionable people, especially women who love beauty.
Fourth: TR90 glasses frame
TR90 material flexibility, elasticity, and impact resistance are stronger, to prevent the sports work because of the “impact” on the eyes caused by the injury.TR90 is also the glasses frame material is relatively light, the weight is only half of the plate frame, A light frame can increase the comfort of wearing, and relieve the pressure of the nose bridge and ears. It can be bent at will, is not deformed, is not easy to break, convenient and durable. With the characteristics of “light, flexible, tough”, with a good coloring process, a full range of styles to meet the different needs of people can choose the right one for their glasses, the price is affordable, is a very high cost-effective glasses.
