  • Patent number: 9645285
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an optical article comprising a substrate coated with a coating preferably comprising silanol groups on its surface and, directly contacting this coating, an antifog coating precursor coating, said precursor coating preferably having a static contact angle with water of more than 10° and of less than 50° and being obtained through the grafting of at least one organosilane compound possessing a polyoxyalkylene group and at least one silicon atom bearing at least one hydrolyzable group, and is further coated with a film obtained by applying a composition containing at least one surfactant of formula F(CF2)y—(CH2—CH2O)x+1H (VIII), wherein x is an integer ranging from 1 to 14, y is an integer lower than or equal to 10, compounds of formula (VIII) in which y=6 representing at least 90% by weight by weight, relative to the weight of compounds (VIII) present in the composition, so as to form an antifog coating, having preferably a static contact angle with water lower than or equal t

  • Patent number: 9494713
    Abstract: An optical article includes a substrate having a main surface coated with an antireflection coating and, directly contacting the antireflection coating, a precursor coating of an antifog coating obtained through the grafting on the antireflection coating of at least one compound B bearing a polyoxyalkylene group, the coating precursor of the antifog coating being coated with a surfactant film so as to form an antifog coating. The surfactant film contains at least one surfactant A having a sorbitan ring hydroxyl groups functionalized with OH-terminated polyoxyalkylene groups and R1 groups of formula:—(RdO)z—(Y)n2—R?, in which Rd is an alkylene group, z is an integer >1, Y is a divalent group, n2 is 0 or 1 and R? is a saturated hydrocarbon group having 12 to 19, preferably 13 to 19 carbon atoms. Surfactants A provide a visual indication whether or not the antifogging effect will still be long-lasting.
