Eyeglass Frames

Acetate Sheets, Nose Pads,…

Handmade eyewear frames are revolutionizing manufacturing standards. Our role is to support eyewear manufacturers in pushing the boundaries of their creativity.
That’s why TCN offers adhesives specifically designed for assembling cellulose acetate.

We have developed two cellulose acetate adhesives in our laboratory in France: our cold adhesive and our hot adhesive.

The cold glue 6948

The cold glue must be diluted with acetone before use (see diagram above). The surfaces to be assembled are brought into contact with the glue for several seconds and then pressed together for a few seconds.

  • For nose pads, the operation is manual.
  • For acetate plates approximately 10×20 cm in size, a press of 200 kilograms is required.

The hot glue 6635C

This glue is ready to use. Both surfaces are to be coated with a brush, roller, or gun. Once debubbled, the surfaces will be placed under a heating press at 70°C.
Immediately after bonding, they will be immersed in cold water to maintain flatness.
