PARIS—Essilor Sun Solution, the Essilor Group division dedicated to non-prescription lenses, is introducing Kolor Up, a new lens collection featuring an exclusive color enhancement technology for improved vision with the latest Mazzucchelli acetate material for frames.

Kolor Up lenses have been developed with the new Mazzucchelli acetate materials in four specific collections: Rio, Stripy, Monocolors and M49 Tokyo. There are five nuances of acetate for every collection, presented together with five sun lenses in new, on-trend colors.

Kolor Up lenses are created using a proprietary technology which avoids the overlapping of colors and increases the brightness of primary colors recognized by the eyes. The lenses are available in PPG’s CR39 monomer, APX (nylon) as well as NXT and polycarbonate.

Essilor said that the collaboration with Mazzucchelli offers sunglass manufacturers and designers a “lens-acetate” package to create eyewear collections which are both fashionable and high quality. “Kolor Up will help creative and aspirational brands to fulfill their vision for the brand. Kolor Up will help their consumers to become the brand’s lovers and advocates,” remarked Christophe Mayet of Essilor Sun Solutions.
