About Titanium

Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is found in most living organisms, soils and water. It is forged from the supernovas of dying stars and can be found in mineral deposits throughout the earth's crust. It is the ninth most abundant element on the planet, which is great except that it's very difficult and costly to extract because it bonds easily with other elements.

William Gregor is credited with the discovery of titanium in 1791. German Scientist Martin Heinrich Klaproth (who was disappointed to find that he was not the first to discover titanium) named the chemical element for the Titans of the Greek Gods of myth. It is the name that stuck with scientists. Titanium metal can be alloyed with other metals like aluminum, iron, molybdenum and manganese—the changes in the properties of the metal obtained with titanium alloys expand its usefulness as a material.

Who Can Wear Titanium Glasses?

Titanium glasses are an option for anyone who must wear glasses, especially those who want lightweight glasses or hypoallergenic glasses.

Why Titanium Glasses Are Expensive?

(1) Titanium is an expensive material. It is a rare metal that is difficult to extract and process.

(2) The production process for titanium glasses is also more complex and time-consuming than that of other types of glasses.

The Advantages of Titanium Glasses

Durability: Titanium is a strong material and thus has the ability to last long. Even when they break or fall, they withstand without damage. It is useful to anybody who finds it difficult or is not interested to purchase or change frames that often.

Lightweight: Compared to metal frames, titanium frames are incredibly lightweight and can be worn comfortably for long periods of time. Although it is strong, it is light in weight. Plastic may be lighter but less durable than titanium, so titanium is a better choice. You can wear titanium frame glasses while playing games, jogging, or running comfortably and without disturbance.

Skin-Friendly: One of the most important advantages of titanium frames is that they are hypoallergenic, which means that they are ideal for people who have certain skin allergies or are sensitive to certain metal materials. Titanium is completely harmless to the skin and will not irritate delicate skin, even when worn for long periods of time.

Flexible: Not many frame materials are as flexible as titanium. Most titanium eyeglass frames are not made of pure titanium but are mixed with other materials. Beta titanium or memory metal, titanium frames can be comfortably bent. No matter how far you bend the frame, it will not break and will return to its original shape. You don't have to bother with careful handling.

Corrosion-Resistant: Metals usually tend to rust when they come in contact with water. Titanium is also a metal, but it does not rust. Therefore, when it is exposed to water, sweat, or moisture, it will not be affected. Even if this material frame is left in the sun or in a humid bathroom, it will not be damaged.

Do not hesitate anymore, add your prescription to any titanium frame now. Get your new titanium glasses without delay.
