OVVO Optics Diamond-like Carbon collection eyewear featuring thin film diamond coating.

Diamond - like Carbon

The DLC Collection utilizes innovative
Diamond-like Carbon nanotechnology
to bring the characteristics of diamonds
to every frame – a first in the world of eyewear.
DLC is lab-synthesized by decomposing hydrocarbon
gasses to stack individual atoms in a carbon film that is
thinner than paper, stronger than steel,
and retains the properties of diamond.

Materials

Thinner than Paper, Stronger than Steel

  • DLC Coating

    This thin film coating takes on the properties of natural diamond. It is composed primarily of carbon atoms arranged in a diamond-like structure

  • Properties

    Incredibly scratch-resistant. Extremely hard. It is also valued for chemical resistance, low friction, and biocompatibility. Suitable for a wide range of applications where durability and performance are critical.

  • Surgical Steel

    Renowned for its durability and strength, often utilized in medical and aerospace fields for its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Provides frames with longevity, ensuring they endure daily use for years.

  • Titanium

    Delivers an incredible ratio of lightness and strength with resilience, flexibility, and resistance to corrosion. Hypoallergenic – ideal for individuals with metal sensitivities.

Technology

Engineered at an Atomic Level

  • Crafted by Science

    DLC is synthesized when carbon atoms rearrange themselves into a structure that resembles diamond, hence the name "diamond-like carbon."

  • From Auto Racing to Aeronautics

    DLC’s unique combination of high-performance properties has enabled groundbreaking innovation in the automotive, aeronautic, medical, and electronic industries.

  • Biofriendly

    DLC coating is hypoallergenic and biocompatible, ideal for individuals with sensitive skin or metal allergies.

  • Sustainable

    The production process for DLC coatings utilizes environmentally friendly methods, such as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition, which minimizes waste and energy usage.
