MIDO is the most important professional event dedicated to eyewear at an international level. From June 5th to 7th 2021, companies, buyers, journalists, and the industry leading trendsetters will again be at MIDO to chat, do business, and be inspired by a magical, engaging atmosphere. We will be showcasing our Rilsan® Clear polyamide product range for use in eyewear frames.
Frames for glasses, goggles, protective eyewear, and other optical applications require lightness and high impact resistance from transparent yet flexible polymers.
Arkema offers the widest portfolio of biobased options, and is the leader of high performance and biobased materials for optical applications, coming from castor oil.
Rilsan® Clear : For bio-based transparency
Arkema is the first manufacturer to provide high performance, bio-based transparent polyamides.
Rilsan® Clear materials are ideally suited for optical solutions with high performance properties, offering lightweight, high transparency, flexibility for comfort and chemical resistance. Arkema offers two major references, especially developed for the injection of frames:
- Rilsan® Clear G850 Rnew®: flagship of our range, this grade contains 45% bio-based carbon. This grade has been especially designed for injection molding applications and is ideally suited for high end eyewear frames.
- Rilsan® Clear G820 Rnew®: With a high biobased carbon content of 65%, Rilsan® Clear G820 Rnew has an outstanding chemical resistance. Offering a high flowability, this material can be injected even for challenging designs and is excellent in overmolding, even over itself.
