Evonik makes Plasteel glasses from high-performance plastics even more comfortable to wear

 

Evonik Industries AG has partnered with Hong Kong-based eyewear manufacturer Mentor Optical Limited.

 

Using the high-performance plastic VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} polyetheretherketone (PEEK) from Evonik, a new brand model Plasteel has been successfully developed.

 

Plasteel eyewear is based on Evonik's innovative product VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} PEEK,

 

The Mentor Optical features a unique rimlock plastic rimlock patented design

 

The result is a lightweight, strong-framed Plasteel glasses.

 

Compared to the weight of the traditional frame of 23 grams, the weight of the new frame is only 9 grams.

 

The result is excellent wearing comfort.

 

In addition, the height of the rim of the Plasteel frame can be lowered to 1.6mm.

 

The thickness of the foot wire can be reduced to 0.9mm.

 

The frame has ultra-high strength and can withstand 360-degree bending tests without breaking,

 

As a result, they provide good protection for the frames and are particularly suitable for sports.

 

Thanks to the unique patented design of the plastic rim lock, this frame allows for easy mounting of lenses.

 

Damage to the lenses caused by the traditional through-fit method is avoided.

 

VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} Plasteel glasses made of Evonik VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} PEEK are used in PlasteelPlasteel continues the excellent mechanical properties and performance of Evonik VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} PEEK.

 

When components need to deliver long-lasting performance in the harshest environments,

 

VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} PEEK IS THE WAY TO GO.

 

The material's excellent resistance to stress cracking makes it particularly suitable for injection molding of delicate parts.

 

VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} PEEK HAS A HIGH ENERGY ABSORPTION RATE,

 

Its high toughness avoids premature deformation and cracking of the frame.

 

In addition, given the excellent chemical resistance and thermal stability of the material,

 

VESTAKEEP\x{00ae} PEEK IS VERY BIOCOMPATIBLE AND STABLE.

 

The success of Plasteel frames is the result of a collaboration between Evonik, Mentor Optical Limited and Ngai Hing Engineering Plastic (NHEP).

 

Evonik is a supplier of key materials and product technologies, and NHEP acts as a strategic distribution partner.
