CR-39, also known as allyl diglycol carbonate, is a type of thermosetting polymer primarily used in the production of optical lenses, such as eyeglass lenses and safety goggles. It is valued for its lightweight properties, optical clarity, and ability to withstand scratches and impact. CR-39 was developed in the 1940s and has since become one of the most common materials for prescription lenses due to its combination of strength, affordability, and ease of manufacturing.
