IU Eyewear is a factory-direct wholesale TR90 glasses frames supplier and manufacturer based in Danyang, China. We supply injection-molded TR90 optical frames — covering children's eyewear, sport optical, active lifestyle, and everyday prescription collections — to distributors, optical retailers, and private label eyewear brands across Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia.
TR90 is a Swiss-developed high-performance thermoplastic material engineered specifically for eyewear applications requiring extreme flexibility, impact resistance, and color stability. Wholesale TR90 glasses frames are the dominant material choice for children's optical frames globally — and a growing category in adult sport optical, outdoor lifestyle eyewear, and everyday prescription collections where conventional plastic or metal frames are too fragile or heavy.
Unlike acetate frames manufactured from sheet material, or metal frames produced by machining and welding, wholesale TR90 glasses frames are injection-molded — enabling highly consistent sizing, vivid colorways, and complex frame geometries at production scales that suit high-volume wholesale ordering.

TR90 is the commercial designation for a high-performance polyamide thermoplastic resin developed by EMS-Chemie in Switzerland. It was engineered as an advanced eyewear frame material, combining properties that no conventional plastic, acetate, or metal material can replicate simultaneously: extreme flexibility, high impact resistance, ultra-low weight, and outstanding color stability under UV exposure and heat.
The "TR" in TR90 stands for Thermoplastic Rubber — reflecting the material's unique behavior: it flexes under stress like a rubber compound but retains the precision dimensional stability of an engineering plastic. This combination is what makes wholesale TR90 glasses frames uniquely suited to children's optical markets, sport eyewear, and active lifestyle optical collections where conventional frames consistently fail.
TR90 is produced in pellet form and processed by injection molding — a manufacturing method fundamentally different from the CNC milling used for acetate frames or the machining and welding used for metal frames. Injection molding allows TR90 wholesale glasses frames to be produced with extremely consistent dimensions across large batch sizes, making them the most dimensionally reliable optical frame material for high-volume wholesale production.
Core material properties that define wholesale TR90 glasses frames:
· Memory flexibility — bends up to 180° and returns to original shape without permanent deformation
· Impact resistance — significantly higher than acetate, standard plastic, or metal frames
· Ultra-lightweight — approximately 40% lighter than equivalent acetate frames
· Hypoallergenic — free of nickel, BPA, phthalates, and common contact allergens
· Color stability — UV-resistant colorways maintain vibrancy without fading or yellowing
· Chemical resistance — unaffected by cleaning solutions, sweat, and cosmetics
· Operating temperature range — maintains performance from -40°C to +130°C
· Injection-molded consistency — precise dimensional uniformity across large production batches
Wholesale buyers need to understand where TR90 glasses frames fit within a complete optical collection — and which customer segments they serve most effectively compared to acetate, metal, and titanium alternatives.
