What is TR-90 Grimalid By: Greg Round, Monday 4 October 2010


All Kontrol Eyewear is made from a nearly indestructible nylon which is called "Grimalid TR-90 LX".

Technically speaking "Grimalid TR-90 LX" is a transparent and tough thermoplastic engineering polyamide.

"Grimalid TR-90 LX" offers excellent bending strength and stress crack resistance ,suitable for injection molding and extrusion. It has high resistance to UV, is low density (so it's very light), and has a high resistance to chemicals such as Sunscreens etc.






This means it is "good stuff"!

As far as eyewear is concerned, you end up with an almost indestructible pair of glasses when the eyewear is made up of "Grimalid TR-90 LX" plus Polycarbonate Lenses.

Have you ever sat on a pair of sunglasses to have them either break, or never fit properly ever again because they are distorted?

This is not such an issue with TR-90 Grimalid frames.

As active sports eyewear, Kontrol Eyewear, much of the time, are being put under pressure. Wind and weather forces, sporting and other physical activities for example.

A cricket ball to the face, a tumble from a bike, a squash ball or shuttle to the head,or, the not so uncommon golf-ball mishap would all smash standard sunglasses. Let's face it, these things happen a lot in sport!

The biggest advantage of the Kontrol Eyewear, is their strength and flexibility in the event of an accident.



Kontrol Eyewear, made with TR-90 Grimalid, will never smash or break in these incidences and therefore not damage eyes with flying pieces of frame etc or scar your face with sharp broken plastic or acrylic as many cheap imports are made from.

We only get one pair of eye's and one face - look after these assets with a product designed with this in mind and not just for fashion as many brands do.
