NXT® frames: a revolution in eyewear production

The Parma-based company is the exclusive owner of the patent for NXT®, the platform now widely recognized as being the best sun filtering technology on the market. Its exceptional optical and mechanical properties also make NXT® ideal for producing frames or their parts.

The platform gives a material that is totally shatterproof, has an excellent memory, is completely resistant to chemicals and bio-compatible.
Moreover, the polymer does not release chemicals that are harmful for the skin, it is impervious to UV rays and does not react negatively to perspiration or cosmetics. This is why it will not alter, deteriorate or age.
No less important are the transparency and brightness characteristics of NXT® frames, which do not hide the eyes or the face but, on the contrary, enhance their distinctive features.
 
In recent years, researchers and designers have been experimenting with and studying various applications for a material that opens up new possibilities in aesthetics and design.
All the prototypes and models were designed to highlight the huge potential of NXT® from an aesthetical and functional point of view.
Vision frames enhance the material’s extreme versatility and workability and demonstrate how it can be easily treated with different and innovative technologies to create eyewear with a distinctive design which takes full advantage of the strength, quality and reliability of NXT®.
 
Already highly valued by such innovative niche companies as Polaris, Eye’DC and Glorify, Intercast Europe is pleased about an important partnership with De Rigo, the reference company on the international market, which chose the NXT® technological platform for the new Police Eyewear collection presented to the market in March.
 
Intercast Europe is also pleased to announce an event scheduled in September at Silmo, Paris, during which it will explain and illustrate the infinite applications of the NXT® platform in the entire eyewear segment.
The meeting addressed to the trade press will discuss the exclusive NXT®  technology will be an occasion also for illustrating how lenses in Trivex®  – a material with superior characteristics produced by PPG – are the ideal complement for frames in NXT®.
