When we travel, when we sun on the beach, we all like to wear a pair of sunglasses, because sunglasses can protect our eyes, at the same time, the right sunglasses can also make you more beautiful. Then if you ask you what type of sunglasses are currently the most popular, you will definitely say that they are acetate sunglasses and metal sunglasses. Yes, especially acetate sunglasses, fashionable, Rich colors，and it is easier to match the clothing. In recent years, acetate optical and acetate sunglasses have become one of the most popular eyewear. Now, let us take a look at the history, application, features and process of cellulose acetate.

Acetate Sunglasses&Bestsea Eyewear Design

The history of cellulose acetate can be traced back to 1865, when Paul Schutzenberger was responsible preparing first acetate, but it was not until 1894 that a method for its production was created by Charles Cross and Edward Bevan. Ten years later, it was found that partially hydrolise CA could dissolve in acetone, prompting brothers Camille and Henri Dreyfus (Swiss brothers whose trademark product, Celanese, is still manufactured as a fibre for use in fashion garments) to create CA films and lacquers that were used during World War 1 for waterproofing and stiffening the fabrics used to cover aeroplane wings.

The application of cellulosics to spectacle production is not necessarily new - the material was used to create the faux tortoise-shell designs that were popular in the 1980s - but the aesthetic qualities have been given a contemporary twist. This interaction between old and new can be noted in ‘Ensemble’, sunglasses with a range of accessories that couple modern technology with colour choices inspired by the 1970s. In another example of reinvention, ‘Extreme’ blurs the line between sportswear and fashion, moving away from the image that plastics are mass produced and soulless, instead of emphasising the quality and individuality that can be obtained through CA use.

Cellulose acetate is made by treating cellulose with acetic acid and acetic anhydride using catalysts (sulfuric acid). The cellulose triacetate has 62,5% of acetic acid combined, furthermore is soluble in the reaction of acids; it is put into the water, washed and dried. The compositions for molding of cellulose acetate are prepared with acetate flakes, plasticizers (10-70 parts), pigments and dyes, by mixing these ingredients in cylinder mixers, extruders or in closed mixer (Banbury) at temperatures between 175 ° C and 270 ° C. 

The cellulose acetate has good properties of toughness and impact resistance; it is stable at room temperature and has good resistance to discoloration when it is exposed to sunlight. This material can be produced in a wide selection of colors, in transparent or translucent form. The field of applications is very broad including toys, sundries, hosehold stuff; in form of sheets, it is widely used in packaging, electrical insulation and belts. It is also used in large quantities for the production of non flammable photographic films.

The cellulose acetate is an environmentally friendly product, and the material will not change due to the influence of human skin or body secretions, so it has no side effects on human skin. The acetate eyewear made with it are loved by consumers. The cellulose acetate has the characteristics of good transparency, easy coloring, good hand feeling, non-aging, non-flammable, etc., providing eyewear manufacturers with a creative processing material. At the same time, it can be combined with different materials such as metal to make the acetate eyewear more colorful Colorful, provide you with more choices.

Some people spend tens of yuan to buy a pair of eyewear , some people spend thousands of yuan to buy a pair of glasses, and some even tens of thousands of yuan. Why do the prices of glasses vary so much? Based on the experience accumulated in our daily life, we can first think of the first factor: the quality is different. The same product, even if the same material is used, the difference in production process and the ability to control details will still lead to differences in quality. Good quality glasses are naturally more expensive. In addition to quality reasons, what other reasons? After two years in the eyewear industry, I would like to introduce to you: 2、the frame material is different, the lens material is different. Frame material is different: At present, the commonly used frame materials mainly include natural materials such as plastic,cellulose acetate, metal, titanium and horn. Glasses made of these materials are called as the names suggest: plastic glasses, acetate eye...

As a lightweight and high-strength material, carbon fiber glasses are loved by many people because of their lightness and good toughness, especially in the field of sports glasses. Let's learn more about carbon fiber materials. Among glasses made of various materials, carbon fiber glasses are a special kind of glasses. To better understand this kind of glasses, it is necessary to have a detailed understanding of the material from which it is made, which is the carbon fiber that this article will talk about. Below is a pair of carbon fiber sunglasses with a double bridge, fitted with a single black sun lens. Carbon fiber refers to high-strength and high-modulus fibers with a carbon content of more than 90%. High temperature resistance ranks first among all chemical fibers. It is made of acrylic fiber and viscose fiber, which is oxidized and carbonized at high temperature. It is an excellent material for manufacturing aerospace and other high-tech equipment. Carbon fiber is mainly ...
