Main component is cellulose acetate, which is made of cellulosic raw material, cotton linter and wood pulp.
Why "Acetyloid" is good for sunglass and optical frames?
There are several reasons;
• Acetyloid’s raw material is cotton linter and wood pulp. So people feel comfortable, when wearing products made of Acetyloid.
• Frames made of cellulose acetate would hold lenses tightly due to it tends to shrink over time.
• Easy to polish.
• It is easy to cut & bend. It can be processed like wood due to its special properties inherited from cotton linter & wood pulp.
• Cellulose acetate frames are fit for various head shape because the temples can be easily adjusted by applying heat.
• Specification & sheet size

Why Acetyloid had been selected by famous branded optical frames and sunglasses?
Acetyloid is comparatively harder than other cellulose acetate sheets which gain lesser deformation, and longer lasting shine for the frames made of it. This is the reason why Acetyloid had been selected by branded frames.

Many cellulose acetate sheets we found at the market are extrusion sheets which are mainly made by machineries. On the contrary, block sheet is handmade by professional craftsmen.
