There are many carbon fiber glasses and carbon fiber sunglasses on the market. How to identify real carbon fiber glasses or fake? For ordinary consumers, it is difficult to identify with the eyes. There are many imitation carbon fiber stickers on the market that use spray painting technology or water transfer to impersonate carbon fiber textures. Some are even so fake that they are indistinguishable from the real thing. As a professional a sunglasses manufacturer and eyewear manufacturer, TIn this article we will talk about how to identify the real carbon fiber glasses or fake.
Below are some carbon fiber sunglasses made by Bestsea Eyewear.
Method 1 to identify real carbon fiber glasses or fake:
Touch with your hands. You can feel the fiber feeling of genuine carbon fiber by hand, while the surface of fake carbon fiber is smooth. It only has printed fiber patterns, and you can't feel the fiber feeling by hand;
Method 2 to identify real carbon fiber glasses or fake:
Bake with fire. Rear carbon fiber can withstand high temperatures and can be baked with open flames, while fake carbon fiber is a high-quality plastic product. Once baked with open flames, it will show signs of melting. It should be noted that even for real carbon fiber, the baking time should not be too long, otherwise it will easily become brittle.
Method 3 to identify real carbon fiber glasses or fake:
Observe the surface carefully. You can also distinguish the authenticity of carbon fiber products by visual observation. Carbon fiber products are all made of carbon fiber and resin. The surface is smooth and translucent, and the texture is very clear, while the texture of fake carbon fiber products is very flat but has no three-dimensional sense. Because it is too thin to be woven into cloth like glass fiber, it can only be arranged vertically and fixed on the lining cloth with glue. Therefore, the real carbon fiber cloth has only warp and no weft, which is an important sign to distinguish carbon fiber rods. Sometimes you can see some mesh patterns on the surface of carbon fiber. That is the lining cloth printed with resin, which is obviously different from other materials.
Method 4 to identify real carbon fiber glasses or fake:
Weighing. Weight is also an important indicator for judging the authenticity of carbon fiber products. The density of carbon fiber is extremely low, only one-fifth of that of steel, and lighter than aluminum. Therefore, even with coatings or decorations, real carbon fiber products are still very light. Carbon fiber glasses are at least 50% lighter than ordinary glasses. If possible, take a pair of ordinary glasses and weigh them. You should feel it.
Method 5 to identify real carbon fiber glasses or fake:
Compare toughness. Carbon fiber glasses frames have good toughness. You can try to fold and bend them, but don't do it too much. They won't deform or anything. If you are really unfortunate and break them, pay attention to whether they are brittle when broken. If so, congratulations, you should be able to confirm that they are carbon fiber glasses. But it's best to avoid this situation.
Method 4 to identify real carbon fiber glasses or fake:
Scrape them with your fingernails. There is a layer of paint on the surface of real carbon fiber products. Scratching with fingernails will not scratch the carbon fiber itself. Generally, only a few scratches will appear. If UA surface paint is used, it has a high hardness and no scratches will appear. However, scratching fake carbon fiber products with fingernails will scratch the carbon fiber sticker on the surface.
The above are some ways to identify real and fake carbon fiber frame glasses, I hope it will be helpful to you. We have extensive experience in producing high-quality carbon fiber glasses and carbon fiber sunglasses. To make high-quality carbon fiber frame glasses, material selection is the most critical step. We only purchase the best quality materials from high-quality carbon fiber material suppliers. After receiving the materials, we will conduct careful inspections. Only perfect carbon fiber materials can enter the production process. If you want to know more about carbon fiber glasses, please contact us.
