Solitaire® Protect
Crystal Clear Vision with the New High-Tech Solitaire®
Protect Plus and Solitaire®
Protect Finishes
Rodenstock presents two new high-tech products at the opti 2011: Solitaire®
Protect Plus and Solitaire® Protect. The
innovative finishes protect lenses in particular against dirt, dust, water and
reflections – bothersome factors that have a decisive negative effect on visual
comfort. With Solitaire® Protect Plus and
Solitaire® Protect as well as Solitaire®
Eco, Rodenstock has a comprehensive range of finishes in the market and thereby
offers just the right product for any budget. Solitaire®
Protect provides the best scratch protection and is especially well suited for
comfort-aware spectacle wearers. Solitaire®
Protect Plus provides the best all-round performance for crystal clear vision. With
the high-quality coatings, the innovation leader once again underscores its
position as the forerunner for technologically outstanding brand lenses.

Solitaire® Protect Plus: Best Overall
Protection with Performance Plus Factor
Rodenstock has clearly optimised the Solitaire®
finishes portfolio with Solitaire® Protect
Plus.
Here, the Performance Plus Factor is decisive: It was possible to improve the
interplay of the individual coating systems such that all important qualities
come optimally into play. For example, the hard coating system provides 100
percent more scratch protection than the current Solitaire TopCoat®
coating and is therefore ten-times more scratch resistant than an uncoated
lens. This is a decisive argument for end customers, because very good scratch
protection is the most important reason for spectacle wearers when making a
decision for a high-quality coating (Allensbach study, 2008).
Through plasma technology that has stood the test of time and which has been
further developed, Rodenstock has created a new type of coating system that
optimally matches the benefits of organic and inorganic coating components in
an optimum way. This new hybrid system creates an extremely hard and
simultaneously elastic antireflection coating, which is expressed in the 100
percent improved scratch resistance. It was also possible to improve climate
resistance by 40 percent through the new hybrid system. That way, the lenses
are much more robust and reliable in everyday use, in recreation and on
vacation in the event of high temperature fluctuations and rapid changes from
cold to warm.
Perfect Transmission and Antistatic Properties
The super antireflection coating of the new Solitaire®
Protect Plus top finish provides up to 99 percent transmission thereby reducing
residual reflections by up to 30 percent. Moreover, the optimum composition and
matching of the coating materials prevents static charging and dust is
effectively repelled.
The service life of the Top Coat, which is based on nanotechnology, has also
been improved considerably: It is now 100 percent longer. Dirt and dust are
kept away so well that the lens remains cleaner longer. The so-called OneWipe
Effect is as easy as it is clever. If the lens does become dirty, one to two
wipes with the Rodenstock cleaning cloth is enough and the lens is clean again.
The cleaning cloth is a practical extra that is included free of charge with
each pair of lenses that are finished with Solitaire®
Protect Plus.

The new Solitaire® Protect premium finish is
just as convincing. It has considerably improved scratch protection, a super
antireflection coating, and an effective cleaning effect, and it is especially
well suited for comfort-aware customers.
On the Safe Side with Three Years Guarantee
Solitaire® Protect Plus and Solitaire®
Protect are brand products from Rodenstock and thereby stand for the highest
quality and innovation: "Made by Rodenstock – 100% German Engineering". The
visible trademark of this quality claim is the original Rodenstock "R" that can
be optionally applied to the right lens. For end customers, the promise of the
high quality of the high-end Solitaire®
Protect Plus finish is additionally expressed in an extended guarantee period of 36
months. To opticians, this quite simply means the maximum consulting security
for customers to be satisfied in the long term.
