Through its selection of eyewear brands, Safilo produces several frames with flexibility and shape memory characteristics. The most iconic of these materials is called ‘Ultem’ and is available within the Carrera brand.

Ultem is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer designed to be flexible, strong, and ultra-light. Ultem is ideal for modern, functional eyewear within the Carrera Ducati and Sport collections and is a feature of Safilo's clip-on optical frames, including the Carrera 4020CS/PAT (pictured).
