What is The Difference Between Acetate and TR90 Frames?

When it comes to choosing the right eyewear, the material of your frames isn't just a minor detail—it's a cornerstone of your comfort, style, and overall satisfaction.Today, we're zeroing in on two heavyweight contenders in the eyewear arena:

TR90 and acetate frames. You're in the right place if you've ever wondered which frame material will best suit your lifestyle, aesthetic, and needs. We'll dissect the nuances of TR90 and acetate, ensuring you make an informed choice the next time you're eyeing a new pair of specs.

Acetate Frames

Acetate material was first used for eyewear in the late 1940s because of brittleness and other problems with previously used plastics and has become widely used for eyeglasses in the industry.

Cellulose acetate also has the most extensive range for transparency, vibrant colors, and finishes. More complex acetate eyewear can be produced by layering several colors or transparencies and “sandwiching” them together.

Cellulose acetate is a cotton-based plastic that is hypoallergenic. So if your customer has a known allergy to plastics or metals, acetate is more than a viable option for for them.

Here are a few of our newest and most popular Acetate frames:

The Dolabany model, Arnold, is a prime example of the brand’s successful retro looks for both men and women. It has become the line’s best-seller in this category. The Arnold has recreated one of the most iconic looks of the 1950s and continues to be on-trend today. (Sun-Clip Available)
