Key Features Materials CR-39 1.50:

Standard Optical Material: CR-39 has been the gold standard in ophthalmic optics for decades, trusted for its balance of performance and affordability.

Excellent Optical Clarity: High Abbe value (58) ensures sharp vision and minimal chromatic aberration.

Cost-Effective Solution: Offers excellent optical performance at an affordable price point.

Coating Compatibility: Fully compatible with Schneider’s advanced coatings, including AR, Blue, UV, and mirror finishes.

Comfortable Wear: Lightweight material with pleasant balance between thickness and durability.

Tinting Versatility: Easily tinted to any shade, making it an ideal choice for fashion, sun, and photochromic applications.

Technical Specifications:

Refractive Index: 1.50
Abbe Value: 58
Specific Gravity: 1.32 g/cm³
UV Protection: Blocks up to 355 nm (requires coatings or filters for full UV 400 protection)
Impact Resistance: Standard ophthalmic safety (does not match polycarbonate or Trivex for impact resistance)
Drilling & Mounting: Suitable for most frames; not recommended for rimless due to lower tensile strength compared to Trivex or Polycarbonate.

Recommended Applications:

Everyday lenses with excellent clarity and comfort.
Fashion and sunglass lenses requiring deep or customized tinting.
Photochromic lenses with superior color uniformity.
Cost-conscious solutions without compromising optical performance.
