Material Composition:
ACETATE glasses are made from a plant-based plastic material called cellulose acetate. This material is derived from cotton or wood pulp and is processed to create a lightweight yet durable frame material. In contrast, many other types of
Glasses Frames are made from
METAL or synthetic plastics.
Lightweight:
Acetate Frames are much lighter than metal frames, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. This is especially beneficial for those who wear glasses all day long.
Flexibility: Acetate is a flexible material, allowing the frames to withstand some bending and flexing without breaking. This flexibility also makes acetate frames more comfortable to wear as they conform to the shape of the wearer's face.
Hypoallergenic: Acetate is hypoallergenic, meaning it is unlikely to cause allergic reactions or irritation for most people. This is an important consideration for those with sensitive skin or allergies to certain metals or plastics.
Color and Design Options: Acetate frames offer a wide range of color and design options. The material can be dyed in various hues, patterns, and finishes, allowing for more customization and personalization compared to metal frames. Acetate frames are also often decorated with intricate detailing and textures, adding a unique aesthetic appeal.
