Abstract
Description
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a novel composition of dye baths or processing baths and a process for tinting, dyeing or doping of moulded components with functional additives in these aqueous dipping baths or processing baths. The moulded components basically contain transparent or translucent (co)polyamides. The temperature of the dipping baths or processing baths is below the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the (co)polyamides. If the moulded components should be tinted or dyed according to an embodiment of the invention, the dyeing can be performed as homogeneous dyeing or as gradient dyeing.
[0002] The process according to the present invention is particularly suitable for producing high-value objects like ophthalmic lenses, tinted lenses for sunglasses, magnifying glasses, all kinds of inspection glasses, polarization films and display films, particularly if changing depths of color (gradients) should be generated.
[0003] This generating of a dy...
