Optical Frames
Aluminum \a-’lu-ma-num\
The third most abundant earth
metal; strong, lightweight, non-corrosive and very durable; sleek,
high-tech appearance; lends itself well to finishing techniques such as
satin or brushed treatments; the material’s rigidity, which has led to
problems with lens and screw insertions in the past, has been offset by
technical innovations and the use of aluminum
alloys.
Monel
\’mo-nel\
The most common metal alloy used in frame construction; composed of
various metals including nickel, silver and zinc; strong with some flexibility;
accepts color treatments and engravings readily; considered a quality material
for frames.
Stainless Steel \’stan-les-stel\
The most
fine optical frames are Stainless Steel Eyeglasses with 1.0mm diameter
inoxidable temperature treated steel wire or flat profiles. The shiny polished
surface is either galvanically coated or painted in spray process with comon
optical colors. Flexibility, leight weight, durability are the few key points
which made Stainless Steel popular at reading glasses and optical frames also.
