KYNETIUM™ Revolutionary aerospatial aluminium alloy which combines Magnesium, Silicium and Titanium; the refined mixture of lightness (Mg), strength (Ti) and elasticity (Si) allowed for major breakthroughs and radical advances in the design specifications, giving Rudy Project engineers the ability to create stunning masterpieces, such as the Rudy Ketyum sunglasses.

GRILAMID® TR 55/90 LX FRAME The Grilamid TR 55, high quality thermoplastic material, is shock resistant, lightweight and non allergenic. It is used in our advanced sunglasses because of its stability and durability. (Keeps its shape even under stress)

TITANIUM Strong, low-density, highly corrosion-resistant, metallic element that occurs widely in igneous rocks and is used to alloy aircraft metals for low weight, strength, and high-temperature stability. Atomic number 22; atomic weight 47,87; melting point 1,660°C; boiling point 3,287°C; specific gravity 4,54; valence 2,3,4.

ALPACCA A metal composite of sterling silver with a small amount of nickel to increase strength and durability.

CARBONIUM FRAME Composite plastic material mixed with carbon molecules. Offer a lightweight, durable and technical platform.

COPPER-BERILLIUM A super light alloy mixture of copper and beryllium with special heat treatment to increase durability and flexibility.

MONEL A nickel-copper extraction characterized by a high level of resistance to corrosion and extreme temperatures. Excellent elasticity.

HARMONIC STEEL Steel combined with manganese silicon that makes it highly malleable and flexible to facilitate the insertion of RX clip-ons.

MEGOL® Soft, hypo-allergenic rubber used for temples tip and nose pads that offer a high degree of elasticity for maximum comfort. Used on numerous Rudy Project sunglasses, including the Rudy Rydon glasses.
