Issue 22/2017 - Evonik launches the TROGAMID® T5000 frame material

Evonik has recently launched a new frame material developed in cooperation with Huamao Optics, TROGAMID T5000, which is a semi-crystalline polyamide with a transparency of 90%, which is an ideal material
for optical product manufacturers.

Compared to other transparent polyamides, it has a higher modulus and stiffness
.
The material is particularly suitable for the manufacture of thin frames and half-rimmed spectacle frames, which can significantly reduce the weight of the frames without compromising performance, thus greatly improving wearing comfort
.
The TROGAMID T5000 is more elastic than traditional frames, which gives designers more freedom
.
In addition, TROGAMID?T5000 has excellent chemical resistance to prevent cracking
caused by contact with chemicals.
The material's ease of processing and coloring saves manufacturers time and money and increases production efficiency
