In this article, let's learn about the materials of eyeglass frames. What are the common glasses frame materials? Spectacle frame materials are mainly acetate fiber (plate), metal, buffalo horn, each of these materials has its own advantages, or a combination of these materials. In our factory, there are many options.

1. Cellulose acetate

The main material of acetate glasses is cellulose acetate, also called sheet, which is essentially plastic. It is one of the most popular types of frame materials in the eyewear industry. Acetate is available in a variety of colors, allowing eyewear manufacturers and designers to shape different eyeglasses and create eyeglasses with different looks.

2. Metal

There are many kinds of metals, and good-quality metal glasses are often made of good metal materials. Some metals like titanium are even more complex. The classic metal glasses may take more time to make. In general, metals are lightweight, strong, flexible, and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for making eyeglass frames.

Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is made from a mix of steel and chrome, making it a strong yet malleable metal. Although it is heavier than titanium, it can be made very thin, thus reducing weight. It is non-corrosive and nickel free, again making it low guo min, which is good for people with sensitive skin.

Monel: Monel is an alloy, which is a mixture of two or more metals. It is highly rust resistant, flexible and stronger than steel.

Titanium: Titanium is grey and is the lightest of all metal eyeglass frames. When combined with modern plastic lenses, it makes titanium glasses very comfortable. It is corrosion resistant, low guo min and can be made in a variety of colors. Titanium is expensive, so it is often mixed with nickel or copper to produce titanium alloys to increase the price.

3. Aluminum

Aluminum is a naturally soft material, often combined with silicon and iron to make eyeglass frames strong and rigid. Aluminium glasses frames have a very different look and are often used to make tall duan glasses (aluminum glasses) because they are lightweight and corrosion resistant. Aluminium glasses are one third lighter than titanium glasses.

4. Buffalo Horn

We produce buffalo horn glasses designed according to customers' preferences. They are made from good buffalo horn raw material to ensure the good quality of the glasses produced. Buffalo horn glasses are also available in various colors such as black, brown, light white, beige, dark brown and medium brown, according to design and size requirements.

The natural buffalo horn glasses are very lightweight, very comfortable to wear, comfortable to touch and suitable for many skin guomin patients.

Buffalo horn is a lightweight, comfortable and beautiful frame material, and the price of buffalo horn glasses is generally higher. While Asian buffalo has a lot of horns, few eyeglass manufacturers are able to convert the horns into eyeglasses. Skilled workers in a good eyewear manufacturer can carve and polish the horn material in a way suitable for horn glasses.

Because all horns in nature vary in color, pattern, and stripes, every pair of horn glasses is different.
