MemoRay Frames from Ray-Ban: "Unforgettable" Glasses
Even the most organized among us sometimes have mishaps: a broken favorite cup, bumper scratches, or snags on tights. What can we say about glasses? Today, few people opt for thin, delicate-looking frames. And it's all due to the risk of careless handling.
If you've been denying yourself the pleasure of wearing lightweight frames for these reasons, then know this: a new era has begun! It's the era of MemoRay frames from Ray-Ban.
Titanium Tales
MemoRay technology is yet another chapter in the history of titanium use, which began in the 19th century. This material is a silvery metal of extraordinary lightness. It was first discovered by the Englishman W. Gregor and the German M. Klaproth. By 1825, J. Berzelius was already extracting titanium from metal.
Ray-Ban has a special affinity for titanium. Initially, there were titanium frames for both prescription and sunglasses. They are known for their great strength and incredible lightness.
In 2011, Ray-Ban introduced the new LightRay line made from titanium alloy: the frame in this case was monolithic, without screws or welded joints. The result was the lightest frame in history, weighing just 1.7 g. Finally, 2012 saw the debut of MemoRay technology, the next titanium variation from the brand.
Remember Everything!
MemoRay frames are made from a nickel-titanium alloy that is corrosion-resistant. The hinges are made using a "double injection" method, which, in simple terms, means that the material particles mix with their adjacent counterparts. The result is increased strength.
The material and construction allow for rule-breaking usage: you can bend and twist the frame, and it will still return to its original shape. In addition, MemoRay frames fit comfortably on the face, are very light and durable, and are highly resistant to moisture, sweat, and wear.
One cannot overlook the aesthetic appeal of the MemoRay frame, which is designed in a minimalist technical style, giving it a neat and understated look.
It’s worth noting that currently, this technology is used only in Ray-Ban's prescription frames. However, this doesn't stop us from anticipating MemoRay's expansion into more of the brand's collections.
So, if you've always been drawn to thin, stylish frames but feared breaking them, Ray-Ban MemoRay’s "unforgettable" glasses made from titanium alloy are here to dispel your last doubts about durability!
