Glasses are a huge investment, and ideally, they will last a couple of years. If you really like your frames, you may even want them to last longer, possibly just replacing lenses when the prescription needs updating.
If you wear glasses everywhere, you want a pair of frames that is built to last. That is why Flexon frames were developed. Flexon frames are built to last by providing greater durability due to their innovative materials.
What is Flexon?
What exactly is Flexon? To answer that question, it helps to go back a few decades. Flexon is a type of frame that was developed by Marchon Eyewear in 1988. It was then that Marchon developed this innovative solution to durable frame technology. Flexon frames are made from a shape memory alloy called NiTiNOL. It is a material that can literally retake its shape after being bent or dented and also has an incredibly lightweight construction. NiTiNOL's composition is part nickel and part titanium. When you hear these materials mentioned, the first thought that likely comes to mind is something about the durability of these metals. Though this is true, nickel and titanium are certainly both very strong metals, their benefit is far more than this. These metals are unique in their ability to keep their shape, even after being bent or dented. They essentially remember their original form and return to it. The construction of Flexon frames allows for greater durability, as well as being much more comfortable due to their lightweight construction. It is the best of both worlds.
Here is what Doctors Vision Center has to say about Marchon's development of Flexon eyeglass frames:
"The most trusted name in memory metal frames is the inventor of the category itself. In 1988, Marchon launched the first eyewear collection featuring 'Flexon,' a revolutionary new material that changed the world of eyewear. The unique flexibility of the memory metal produces bendable frames that are lighter, stronger and more comfortable. They are the most versatile memory metal frames available — appealing to the widest range of men, women and children. Flexon is the perfect frame for active lifestyles, careers with physical activity, those working with kids, those who frequently remove their frames or who are more carefree."
What is the History of Flexon Eyeglass Frames?
The creation of Flexon has an interesting history that dates back to 1961 at the United States Naval Ordnance Lab. Here, scientists were developing missile heat shields made from titanium-based alloys. During their work, the scientists came to the startling discovery that these alloys had the ability to retake their shape after heat exposure. The scientists continued to test these metals by denting them with a hammer and leaving the alloys unattended. Upon returning, they found that the dents in the titanium had disappeared.
Fast forward to the 1980s, when research was begun in Silicon Valley, California, to make glasses frames from these alloys. They were then eventually introduced to the market by Marchon Eyewear. So Flexon frames have a fascinating history that has its roots in the designing of missile heat shields. If they can protect against the heat of a missile, they can certainly make for incredibly durable frames.
Memory Metal
One of the most notable features of Flexon frames is their ability to undergo extensive bending, twisting and more and still hold their original shape. This is how these frames got the nickname of memory metal. It is because of their titanium alloy construction that they are able to have this level of durability. This provides you with eyeglass frames that are nearly indestructible!
The Benefits of Flexon Frames
Flexon just makes sense when it comes to purchasing your next pair of frames. Flexon is incredibly beneficial as it provides long-lasting durability due to its unusual ability to maintain its shape and withstand pressure. It is a worthwhile investment considering the fact that you will not have to replace frames for a long time. Flexon also provides an added level of comfort with its lightweight construction. With the combination of durability and comfort, it is hard to go wrong with this incredible option for eyeglass frames.
Consider what Flexon had to say about their frames:
"Flexon frames feature technologically advanced memory metal in the bridge and/or temples allowing them to be flexed, bent or twisted and return to their original shape. They are more durable, lightweight and resistant than conventional metals; allowing you to confidently embrace every challenge without disappointment.
"With years of design and construction experience, Flexon has evolved into a collection with no limitations. Memory metal combined with rubber, TR90 and stainless steel create a varied collection filled with color, advanced durability, lightweight construction, and a comfortable fit.
"Feather light, flexible, and titanium strong, Flexon fits, feels and forgives like no other conventional metal frame on the market. Never underestimate the power of flexibility."
