Sunglass Materials:
Options for sunglass frame
materials include plastic
(often called zyl), basic
metal (usually a combination
of a variety of metals) and
specialty metals such as
titanium, aluminum and
stainless steel. Many
sunwear styles today
incorporate both metal and
plastic into the design of
the frame, giving them a
unique look.
The specialty metals have
become increasingly popular
in plano sunglasses as
consumers are looking for
lightweight options.
Titanium, aluminum,
stainless steel and even
beryllium frames are a
somewhat more expensive
investment but offer the
benefits of thinness and
lightness,
corrosion-resistance and
strength.
