AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0024]According to the present invention, it has now become possible to provide, for example, a composition for an optical material containing polythiol which can be estimated, on a pre-polymerization / curing stage, as being clouded or not clouded after being polymerized and thus cured, and so can be determined as being good or defective. Provision of such a composition has been difficult with the conventional art.

Problems solved by technology

However, these composition containing thiol have a problem of being clouded when being polymerized and thus cured.
Therefore, if the composition are clouded after being cured, the composition become all defective.
This causes a massive loss.

Abstract

The present invention has an object of providing, for example, a composition for optical materials which contains a polythiol that can be predicted and assessed, in a stage prior to polymerization / curing, as being clouded or not clouded after polymerization / curing, and thus can be determined as being good or defective. According to the present invention, the above-described object is achieved by, for example, a composition for optical materials which comprises a polythiol that exhibits an initial turbidity of 0.5 ppm or less and a turbidity of 0.6 ppm or less after the storage at 50° C. for 7 days, and an episulfide. Namely, an optical material made from a composition for optical materials which contains a polythiol satisfying the above turbidity requirements can be prevented from clouding to exhibit excellent transparency.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to, for example, a composition for an optical material, and specifically to, for example, a composition for an optical material which is preferable for an optical material such as a plastic lens, a prism, an optical fiber, an information recording substrate, a filter or the like, especially a plastic lens.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Plastic materials are lightweight, highly tough and easy to be dyed, and therefore are widely used recently for various types of optical materials, especially eyeglass lenses. Optical materials, especially eyeglass lenses, are specifically required to have, as physical properties, low specific gravity, high transparency and low yellow index, high heat resistance, high strength and the like, and as optical properties, high refractive index and high Abbe number. A high refractive index allows a lens to be thinner, and a high Abbe number reduces the chromatic aberration of a lens. However, as the refractive index i...
