(3) Various design
The cellulose acetate spectacle frame design is the most fashionable. The surface layer of the traditional plastic frame is usually sprayed with colors and patterns. It may have a nice design or color. But because it is the only surface, daily use will cause its surface color and pattern to fade. After a year or even a few months, their appearance may not be as good as before. Unlike plastic spectacle frames, acetate makes the design easier to retain. The acetate fiber sheet can be designed with colorful patterns, different layers, and many colors. The embedded design can maintain its characteristics more effectively without spraying or painting.
Acetate is comfortable, weight-light and fashionable, and meets all your needs. Therefore, it can be said to be the best material for making spectacle frames. Therefore, the next time you decide to buy a new spectacle frame, please consider using a spectacle frame made of acetate.
