Why Do Acetate (cellulose Acetate) Glasses Stand Out in The Eyewear Industry?

Introduction: Do you know who invented cellulose acetate fiber? When did acetate fiberglass glasses appear? How did it come about? What impact does it have on the world, on you, and on me? Why acetate glasses can be used in the glasses industry Stand out? Hope you found out after reading this article.

1. Who invented acetate?

Acetate is plant-based and consists of (bio)polymers derived from wood (tree) pulp and/or natural cotton fibers, also known as cellulose acetate, zyl or zylonite, developed by scientist Paul Schützenberge in 1865. Acetate was one of the first synthetic fibers to be made, and over the years these cellulose fibers have been replaced by cheaper alternatives such as infused nylon and polyester, which are petroleum-based plastics. In some cases, nylon is a reasonable eyewear material - such as the impact or heat resistance of sports glasses or safety goggles. However, when used in fashion eyewear, the material is almost always used to cut costs.

2. When did acetate glasses appear?

The brittleness of the plastic and other issues made it difficult to work, and after years of research, cellulose acetate was first used in spectacles in the late 1940s, an innovative material that gained a reputation in the market for its durability and striking colors , which wearers describe as a more "natural feel," and it's also known for its ability to easily adjust to create a custom fit. Opticians and eyeglass manufacturers prefer it ever since

3. How did the advent of acetate affect the world and you?

For the world: protect the earth's ecological environment

The presence of acetate saved the hawksbill turtle from extinction. Between 1844 and 1992, 9 million Hawksbill turtles were pulled from tropical shallow waters worldwide. Hawksbill sea turtles have striped shells that humans like, and any creature is in danger of extinction once it is targeted by humans. Its tortoise shell makes luxurious jewelry, wigs and glasses. If it weren't for the 1950s, when sheet manufacturers churned out colorful hawksbill sheets, more hawksbill turtles might have faced human capture. The late 1970s saw an international treaty banning the hunting and sale of hawksbill sea turtles, further improving the survival chances of endangered sea turtles.

At the same time, acetate is made of renewable materials, which are more easily degraded in the natural environment, reducing the risk of marine organisms being killed by accidental ingestion or entanglement. Through this topic, remind again: to protect the ecological environment of the earth is to protect ourselves as human beings! Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility!

For you, why did you fall in love with acetate glasses?

1. Low over-min sex: It is a boon for people with over-min or sensitive skin.

2. Lightweight: Acetate is an extremely light plastic, you will not feel tired even if the acetate glasses are on your face all day

3. Durable: Compared with the traditional plastic frame molding method, the acetate frame molding process takes longer, and it is this process that makes acetate durable. Acetate frames are formed by forming several layers of plastic into large pieces, cutting individual pieces, polishing, and forming the frame.

4. Elasticity: Acetate's durability is largely due to its flexibility. The more flexible your glasses are, the longer they will last.

5. Let customers have rich choices: rich colors, rich patterns, and rich designs, which are unmatched by traditional plastic frames. Choose acetate glasses and you're in style.

4. Do you know how acetate fiberboard is made?

5. Have you seen the production process of acetate glasses?

6. Acetate glasses pk plastic glasses, can you correctly distinguish acetate glasses from plastic glasses?

Plastic frames are more brittle than acetate frames due to different production processes

No wires in plastic temples, plastic glasses are more difficult to adjust

The choice of colors and patterns for plastic glasses is less diverse

Acetate frames are generally more expensive than regular plastic frames.
