The Optyl material
Optyl is a plastic material invented in 1968. Produced by the condensation of phosgene on a bisphenol, it is then added with a hardener to then be molded or cast. It is a very light thermoelastic material (1.1g/Cm3) and hypoallergenic. Compared to acetate it is 30% lighter and the manufacturing costs of this material are lower.
The benefits of Optyl
The advantages of this material are numerous; first of all, the Optyl is very light and therefore very comfortable to wear. It is also important to specify that this material is non-flammable, it therefore has a high resistance to heat and is hypoallergenic . In addition, it does not deteriorate in contact with sweat or cosmetic products thanks to its special surface coating. It can also be colored at will either by adding a dye during manufacture or by coloring baths when the frame parts are finished. A great innovation for all spectacle wearers .
Shape memory test of a pair of Optyl glasses
The frame shown here without the lenses is placed in a bottle to demonstrate the elastic and shape-memory resistant properties of Optyl. Despite the deformations induced by the passage of the frame through the neck, the Optyl frame resumed its initial shape once inside the bottle.
