High Index (MR-Series): The Perfect Balance of Optics & Aesthetics

Slim, Strong, and Sophisticated. When frame designs demand minimalism and prescriptions demand power, the MR™ Series (Mitsui Resin) stands alone.

Unlike standard acrylics or CR-39, MR-Series lenses (MR-8™, MR-7™, MR-10™) are based on advanced Thiourethane polymer technology. This unique chemistry allows for higher refractive indices (1.60 to 1.74) while maintaining exceptional tensile strength. It is the premier choice for luxury rimless eyewear and high-diopter prescriptions where weight and thickness are the enemy.

-------------- The "Thiourethane" Advantage ---------------

Why "Thiourethane" Changes Everything

Standard resins are brittle. Polycarbonate is strong but soft and has poor optics. Thiourethane (MR-Series) solves both problems.

The polymerization of thiourethane creates a unique molecular network that is:

  • Ultra-High Index: Bends light efficiently, reducing lens thickness by up to 40%.
  • High Tensile Strength: It has elasticity similar to cartilage. It can be drilled, notched, and grooved without cracking.
  • Superior Optics: Higher Abbe values than Polycarbonate for sharper vision.

-------------- Material Classifications ---------------

Choosing the Right Grade

Jings Eyewear offers the complete range of Mitsui MR™ monomers to suit different prescription needs.

  • MR-8 1.60 Index Lens
    MR-8™ (Index 1.60)
    The global standard for high index. With the best Abbe Value (41) of the high-index class, it offers great clarity and tensile strength.
  • MR-7 1.67 Index Lens
    MR-7™ / MR-10™ (Index 1.67)
    For stronger prescriptions. Thinner than MR-8. MR-10 offers enhanced heat resistance, making it safer for coating and edging processes.
  • Superior Coating Adhesion
    Coating Adhesion
    Thiourethane materials provide a superior substrate for AR coatings, ensuring long-lasting durability without peeling.

-------------- Comparison Matrix ---------------

Material Grade Refractive Index Abbe Value Tensile Strength Ideal Application
MR-8™ 1.60 41 (Best) High Rimless, Nylor, Daily Wear
MR-7™ / MR-10™ 1.67 31 Very High High Prescriptions (> -4.00D)
Standard Acrylic 1.56 36 Low (Brittle) Full Rim Frames Only
