The bio-plastic RILSAN®
In this article, we will take a closer look at RILSAN® as a material for eyewear frames and examine its properties, advantages and disadvantages, as well as its applications.
The high-tech plastic RILSAN® makes our plastic glasses flexible, durable, and resistant while being extremely lightweight. RILSAN® is made entirely from renewable natural resources, is biodegradable, and therefore does not unnecessarily burden our planet.
RILSAN® is a high-quality polymer used in the production of eyewear frames and offers numerous advantages. It is a high-quality polymer with excellent strength, flexibility, and durability, making it an ideal material for various applications, including eyewear frames.
How is the material created?
RILSAN® is a thermoplastic polyamide made from renewable raw materials, namely castor oil.
"Through the processing of castor oil from the castor bean plant, a powder is produced through a complex process from which the material is obtained. RILSAN® is made up of 100% renewable raw materials."
Properties of RILSAN®
RILSAN® offers a variety of properties that make it an attractive material for eyewear frames. Some of the key properties of Rilsan are:
- Lightweight: Rilsan is a lightweight material, which means that glasses frames made from Rilsan are comfortable to wear and do not press on the nose or ears.
- Flexibility: Rilsan is a flexible material that adapts well to the shape of the face (temples). This allows for a comfortable fit and reduces the risk of pressure points or chafing on the skin.
- Strength: Rilsan is a strong material and resists deformation and breakage. This makes eyewear frames made of Rilsan durable and robust.
- Chemical Resistance: Rilsan is resistant to many chemical substances, including sweat, oils, and solvents that can occur in the environment of glasses. This means that glasses frames made of Rilsan can also last a long time under adverse conditions.
- Environmental friendliness: Rilsan is made from renewable raw materials, namely castor oil, and is therefore more environmentally friendly than many other materials. It is also recyclable, which further enhances its sustainability.
Advantages of Rilsan for Eyewear Frames
The use of Rilsan as a material for eyewear frames offers several advantages:
- Comfort: Glasses frames made of Rilsan are lightweight and flexible, ensuring high wearing comfort. They adapt well to the shape of the face and do not cause pressure points or chafing. Additionally, you can hang the glasses around your neck with our extra long flexible temples.
- Durability: Rilsan is a strong and durable material that resists deformation and breakage. Glasses frames made of Rilsan are therefore very long-lasting.
