RUDY PROJECT REVEALS CUTTING EDGE LENS TECHNOLOGY THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTION IN THE FIELD OF VISION
PROTECTION GUARANTEED UNBREAKABLE FOR LIFE.
WHAT IS
Since the development of CR-39 and Polycarbonate over 40 years ago, there have been few advances and innovations in high impactresistant
optical polymer development. NXT® is a family of patented polyurethane optical polymers, transparent and unbreakable,
originally developed for the military to provide superior protection and performance: NXT® was born in the USA in the early 1990’s when
the U.S. Government contracted Simula Technologies to develop a new bullet-proof, transparent, and light-weight material capable of
providing superior protection, reliability and longer lasting performance than polycarbonate. This material is also used in the windows in
post Sept. 11 cockpit doors being installed on airplanes and Apache helicopter windshields panels; it is today available for Rudy Project
Technically Cool Eyewear under a unique and unparalleled lens program: ImpactX.
ImpactXrepresents today the most advanced technological solution in the field of vision protection. Thanks to their transparency and
superior optical quality, lenses made in NXT® ensure sharp vision and unbeatable comfort: they are made by casting, a process which
ensures lower internal stress, higher optical homogeneity and mechanical stability compared to traditional Polycarbonate lenses.

ImpactXlens technology offers breakthrough NXT®semi-rigid molecular properties formulated exclusively for Rudy Project. After years
of laboratory research and field tests with professional athletes, ImpactX has been perfected with cutting edge light management
technology by combining photochromic particles and advanced polarized technology in the mass, incorporating thus superior impact
resistance with enhanced visual acuity, for virtually any climatic condition.
WHY
1. GUARANTEED UNBREAKABLE FOR LIFE
IMPACTX is stronger than any other lens material, guaranteed not to break or crack, even in complex rimless frame.
2. SUPERIOR OPTICS
IMPACTX has lower refractive index, internal stress and chromatic dispersion than polycarbonate, resulting in sharper images, higher
definition, reduces “rainbowing”, and more visual comfort
3. SUPERIOR ANTI-SCRATCH PROPERTIES
IMPACTX lenses feature a superior Quartzscratch-resistant antistatic coatings, which doesn’t attract dust.
4. LIGHTWEIGHT
IMPACTX is 16% lighter than CR-39 and 10% lighter than Polycarbonate.
5. EXCLUSIVE SEMI-RIGID PLATFORM
Tailor-made IMPACTX formula for superior safety and unparalleled protection.
6. CUTTING-EDGE PHOTOCHROMIC AND POLARIZED TECHNOLOGY
Enhanced visual acuity for any climatic conditions.
FACTS
Lightweight. IMPACTX is about 16% lighter than CR-39®and 10% than polycarbonate.
Impact resistance. IMPACTX impact resistance is higher than polycarbonate and passes all impact resistance standards.
No stress Cracking or Crazing. Unlike polycarbonate and other materials IMPACTX is not sensitive to stress cracking, so it does not craze
or break when subjected to mechanical strains.
Excellent workability. Unlike CR-39®, polycarbonate and polyamide, IMPACTX can be easily drilled without brittleness or stress cracking
problems.
Processed by casting. Lenses in IMPACTX are made by casting, which ensures low internal stress, high optical homogeneity, thermal
and mechanical stability. Such properties make IMPACTX the material ideally suited for high quality unbreakable polarized lenses.
Excellent optical properties. IMPACTX has lower refraction index, internal stress, and chromatic dispersion (Abbe number) than polycarbonate,
resulting in lower surface reflection and “rainbow effect”, higher definition and sharper images.
High Chemical Resistance. Unlike polycarbonate and polyamide , IMPACTX is not attacked by common chemicals or solvents (i.e.
acetone and methyl alcohol)
High thermal stability. IMPACTX polymer has high thermal stability and is not subject to optical or mechanical distorsions, even when
exposed to temperatures in excess of 80°.

REVOLUTION IN RX SPORTS
Rudy Project is pleased to announce the application of ImpactX technology in a revolutionary prescription program:
ImpactRX
Through our strategic partnership with Shamir Optical Laboratories and using the most sophisticated edging equipment
available in the world, Rudy Project is now able to offer Rx lenses directly in the frame in a vast array of its
semi-rimless sport models, with the most advanced technological solution in the field of vision protection guaranteed
unbreakable for life : this gives your patients even more options than ever before. Now for patients that want to
stay away from optical inserts, you can offer them the option of Rx-ing their favourite Rudy models directly in the frame.
And best of all they can have two or three Rx lenses in different tints to manage field requirements ot light condition.
The ImpactRX Interchangeable lenses are custom ground to your patients’ prescription and attach to the
Rudy frame similar to the plano counterparts. Lenses interchange in a snap, yet stay snugly in place during sports.
With ImpactRX, Rudy Project is commited to excellence and redefines the concept of RX solutions for sports.
