MTI is launching eyeglass nose pads made of titanium (Ti), a medical material, and is raising expectations that it will be able to replace Chinese eyeglass parts that account for the majority of domestic eyeglass parts.

MTI recently announced that it has launched a pair of eyeglass nose pads made of titanium (Ti).

The titanium eyeglass nose pads released by MTI are made using pure titanium (Ti), which is used for medical purposes such as implants, and provide a more luxurious feel compared to existing plastic products.

In the case of existing plastic products, their aesthetics deteriorate due to discoloration and deformation after long-term use, but MTI's titanium nose pads do not discolor and, due to the human-friendly nature of the material, do not cause side effects such as allergies or itchiness.

The domestic eyewear industry is a finished product-oriented industry, and while eyewear designs and finished eyewear products are produced domestically, most eyewear parts are produced in China due to differences in unit prices.

In particular, although there are many eyeglass frames made using titanium, the nose pads were all made of plastic or silicone, but this is the first time one has been made using pure titanium.

Accordingly, the launch of this titanium eyeglass nose pad is a replacement for Chinese eyeglass parts.It is expected that this will contribute to expanding domestically produced parts.

MTI is a company specializing in manufacturing medical components, and has accumulated know-how in manufacturing medical components through many years of manufacturing dental implant packaging components.

In particular, MTI has the ability to produce high-quality products at ultra-low prices through its unique powder injection molding technology.

MTI's glasses nose pads are available at Gmarket, Auction, Interpark, Naver Shopping, etc.

Meanwhile, MTIG specializes in titanium and tantalum materials. In 2008, the company received the New Excellent Technology (NET) certification mark from the Ministry of Knowledge Economy's Agency for Technology and Standards for its "titanium powder injection molding process," demonstrating its unrivaled technological prowess. MTIG also possesses technologies for manufacturing pure titanium powder, titanium feedstock for injection molding, titanium powder for thermal spray coating, and titanium alloy powder.

In 2019, the company obtained a patent for a 'tantalum (Ta) powder manufacturing method' and is actively developing technology to purify titanium scrap.
