necessity require the correct base materials
•
•“TX5” for all plastic frames and
•
•“Titanium”, “Beta-Titanium” for most metal frames and for the
components used for TX5 frames
•
•Stainless Steel for most STEPPER’S models

Advanced
Materials
Titanium, Beta-Titanium
•STEPPER frames and frame components that are made of Titanium (or its
alloys) have advantages over Monel,
Nickel Silver and Stainless Steel:
•
•Lightness (less than half the weight of conventional metals)
•Corrosion resistance against all acid, alkaline liquids
•Nickel free = no allergic reactions for the wearer.
Titanium
and its alloys are very expensive raw materials and the desire to jump on the
bandwagon with fake or misleading products and product descriptions is enormous
Let
us try to unearth the truth!
Advanced
Materials
Titanium
•Titanium – Pure 99.44% - is tough, but rather soft and not at all
flexible. It is ideally used for thicker (1.2mm and above) or more solid
structural areas such as:
•Mono bloc spring hinged temples
•Frames with mono bloc front, mono bloc end piece
•End pieces and temples that require more 3 D shape and need multiple
hydraulic pressing operations
Pure
Titanium meets ISO 12,870 and EN 1,811 for “Nickel free” materials
Corrosion and
UV Test
on Frames
of Different Materials
•Significant result
of environmental influences on metal frames that can be verified through severe
tests.
•Confirmation of
Titanium‘s superiority to other metal frame
materials
Key

Titanium
is therefore a logical material for STEPPER to create metal frames from.
Titanium
is the perfect complement material to TX5.
Titanium
allows STEPPER to maintain the brand values in a metal material.
Titanium
can be used to great effect in combination with TX5.
