  • Patent number: 10830925
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing an optical article suitable for edging comprising an antifouling layer on which there is deposited a temporary overlayer for assisting with edging, comprising: depositing, on an optical substrate, an organic antifouling layer comprising at least a fluorinated polymer compound comprising hydrolysable functions; and depositing, on the antifouling layer, an overlayer for assisting with edging, of mineral nature, comprising one or more metal fluorides and/or one or more metal oxides or hydroxides; method characterised in that it further comprises a step of accelerated grafting of the antifouling layer chosen from: (a) a treatment of the deposited antifouling layer in a humid atmosphere of the deposited antifouling layer and (b) a catalytic treatment in the acidic or basic vapour phase of the deposited antifouling layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9110223
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating at least one surface of a substrate based on sulphur polymer intended to be covered with a coating, said method comprising, prior to depositing the coating onto the surface of the substrate, a step of bringing the surface of the substrate into contact with a treating composition comprising at least one reducing agent.

  • Patent number: 8765216
    Abstract: Process for manufacturing of an optical article which comprises: making available an organic substrate based on an organic polymer having a degree of water uptake of greater than or equal to 0.6% by weight, with respect to the total weight of the substrate, the degree of water uptake being equal to the weight of water absorbed by the material after drying and then storing for 800 hours in a chamber at 50° C. under a relative humidity of 100% and at atmospheric pressure; forming a hard abrasion-resistant coating on the substrate by heating the substrate at a temperature of greater than or equal to 90° C. for a period of time of at least 20 minutes; exposing the substrate covered with the hard abrasion-resistant coating to a humid atmosphere, so as to restore, to the organic substrate, the water evaporated during stage; and depositing of a water-impermeable inorganic coating by vacuum evaporation.
