They were surprised to discover that, bends in the metal automatically return to their original shape when heat was applied. Then developers in the U.S. and in Japan created Flexon brand memory metal. The first commercial application of the metal in optical frames. Maui Jim is the first company to receive a U.S. license for sunglasses using this technology. Flexon brand memory metal is used in the bridge, crossbar and temples and temples of the frame, so the frame keep its shape longer.
Temples gently hug the head so lenses stay aligned.
No more stretching out of shape, sliding down the nose or constant adjustment. Once Flexon frames are fit, they stay fit. Durable, not indestructible. Conventional metals kink or break, if bent back and forth. But Flexon material can be bent back and forth hundreds times without breaking.
