Beautifully styled

Fashion trends exert a strong influence on sunglasses and sports eyewear collections. Sometimes models with thick frames and large lenses are “in,” only to be succeeded by thin-framed or rimless glasses. Whatever the trend, the glasses should offer the eyes the highest possible protection.

Comfortable and safe

No other lens material for sunglasses and sports glasses boasts this combination of outstanding properties. Lenses made from TROGAMID^® myCX, a grade developed specifically for optics, offer

• the highest degree of comfort, because they are ultralight
• high durability because of their excellent mechanical properties
• the highest possible reliability because of their excellent resistance to stress cracking and breaking

Thanks to its unique properties TROGAMID^® myCX allows very efficient production of eyeglass lenses that can be combined with any frame material. Special product modifications with, for example, stabilizers, absorbers, or colors are available on request.

Versatile and flexible

TROGAMID^® CX9704, on the other hand, is the material of choice for eyeglass frames of all kinds. It allows a variety of design options, from ultra-thin frames, previously possible only with titanium, to milled, laser-etched, or elaborately decorated wide temples. Here again, the low density and correspondingly low weight contribute to wearer comfort. The high resistance to breakage, even when subjected to extreme deformation, ensures a high degree of safety, as in sports glasses and children's eyeglasses, and excellent durability.

For the prevention of metal allergies, even bonded or screwed joints of TROGAMID^® CX are possible with frames of the same material. Other functional elements can also be manufactured from the transparent polyamide and directly integrated into eyeglasses.

Alpina, for example, provides the temple joint of its SWING model with a filigree mechanism that makes it adjustable to five different angles. An almost invisible push-button allows the mounting of a second, dark-tinted covering shield in front of the base shield in just a few simple steps. (Read more about this in the Product Story).
Wildwechsel won the 2011 red dot award with its eyeglass frames that are plugged directly into the lenses and can be decorated with various ornaments according to whatever the wearer prefers.
