SOLA Sunlens introduces its revolutionary Flurescent™ PC Collection
A new perspective in color polycarbonate sunlenses
Del Mar, CA (April 2, 2001) - SOLA Sunlens, leading manufacturer of premium plastic sunglass lenses, today announced the addition of its Flurescent PC Collection. The SOLA Flurescent PC Collection is an innovative assortment of fluorescent tinted polycarbonate sunlens with colors and light that bounce inside the lens, from one surface to the other, providing bright, vibrant coloring right to the edge of the lens.
From purples to pinks, greens to yellows, these fashionable color effects are designed using accurate selection of special dyes. When light strikes the lens surface it creates a bright dramatic, glowing color effect on the lens edge providing the perfect PC sunlens for rimless sunglasses or three-piece frames.
"By combining the most advanced technology with today's hottest colors and fashion trends, SOLA Sunlens has capitalized on the changing demands of the market". says Al Gleek, Director of Marketing and New Products for SOLA Sunlens. "The Flurescent PC Collection is the first of many highly technical and innovative products to be produced in our new proprietary polycarbonate tinting laboratory. Within our Sunlens factory in Varese Italy we now have capabilities to produce advanced technology polycarbonate lenses with very specific spectral characteristics and focused performance or fashion purposes". states Gleek.
The Flurescent PC Collection with "color outside and technology inside" delivers superior optical performance with an up-to-date look. Combined with SOLA Sunlens Tough Eyes®, Flurescent PC Collection lenses have unsurpassed impact resistance for maximum safety, are ultra-lightweight for super comfort and have an industry leading proprietary hard coating for superior scratch protection.
