HIVISION introduces the Acetate Lamination Optical Frame, which is made using an acetate lamination process. Unlike common injection molding, this process involves stacking thin sheets of acetate in different colours, then fusing them under controlled heat and pressure into a multi-layered composite material, which is later cut and polished into frames. The colours are embedded within the material rather than coated on the surface, so they do not fade or peel off with daily use. The side view reveals a natural gradient texture, and because each sheet flows slightly differently during lamination, every pair has a unique pattern – not by design, but as a natural result of the process. This is precisely the distinguishing advantage of HIVISION’s Acetate Lamination Optical Frame.
In terms of wearing comfort, the Acetate Lamination Optical Frame is equipped with spring hinges that provide moderate flexibility, adapting to different head widths without squeezing too tightly or slipping off. Acetate material contains no plasticisers, is hypoallergenic, and has a low density, making the frame lightweight and reducing pressure on the nose and ears. Both the temple tips and nose pads are rounded and polished, so they do not leave noticeable marks even after prolonged wear.
As for specifications and appearance, the frame measures 53-18-140 (lens width – bridge – temple length), a medium large size that fits most adult face shapes. Three colour options are available: tortoise, blue, and burgundy – all muted, understated tones suitable for daily commuting and business settings. The temples feature a shallow relief cloud pattern, but the thickness is well controlled so it does not compromise the overall clean look.
Regarding materials, the acetate is derived from wood pulp and cotton linters, with no harmful solvents used during processing, and it degrades faster than ordinary plastics after disposal. HIVISION has two decades of experience in this field, with mature temperature and pressure control in the lamination process, ensuring no bubbles or delamination between layers, and smooth transitions on the polished inner and outer edges of the frame.
Overall, this frame focuses on material stability and wearing comfort rather than striking visual effects. For users who need a daily pair of glasses that are reliable, unlikely to show wear or deformation after a year or two, and not overly designed, it is a practical choice. Those who prefer trendy or highly distinctive styling may find it less suitable. HIVISION’s Acetate Lamination Optical Frame is exactly such a well-considered basic choice – solid in material, comfortable to wear, and restrained in appearance, capable of serving well in daily use over the long term.
