[0036] (Method of manufacturing eyeglass lenses: Formation of antifouling layer) The method for producing a spectacle lens according to this embodiment includes a step of forming an antifouling layer on a spectacle lens using an antifouling composition containing compound (A) and compound (B). The antifouling layer can be obtained, for example, by vapor deposition or coating the antifouling composition, but is preferably obtained by vapor deposition.

[0037] The deposition is carried out by, for example, vacuum deposition. In the vacuum deposition, the heating temperature during deposition is preferably 400°C or higher, more preferably 550°C or higher, even more preferably 600°C or higher, and even more preferably 650°C or higher. The heating temperature for deposition refers to the temperature at which pellets or the like impregnated with the antifouling agent composition are heated during deposition. The heating temperature in vacuum deposition is preferably 400°C or higher, for example, in the range of 400°C to 1000°C. Note that vacuum deposition is carried out at a temperature of 3.0 x 10 -2 It is preferable to carry out the deposition in a deposition space controlled to a vacuum of 0.1 Pa or less.

[0038] Heating during vapor deposition can be performed using, for example, a halogen heater, resistance heating, or an electron gun, but among these, using an electron gun for heating and vapor deposition allows for the formation of a highly accurate thin film. The power of the electron gun varies depending on the material used, the vapor deposition device, the degree of vacuum, and the irradiation area, but the preferred conditions are an acceleration voltage of about 6 kV and an applied current of about 5 mA to 40 mA.

[0039] The deposition time is preferably, for example, 1000 seconds or less, more preferably 800 seconds or less, or even 600 seconds or less. By depositing within such a time, even if a water-repellent material containing multiple components with slightly different deposition start temperatures is used, the components can be deposited almost simultaneously, and a uniform film can be obtained.

[0040] Preferably, the deposition is carried out using a porous material that is impregnated with the antifouling composition. As the porous material, it is preferable to use a sintered filter made by sintering a fused silica porous body or a metal powder with high thermal conductivity such as copper or stainless steel. From the viewpoint of obtaining an appropriate deposition rate, the mesh size of the sintered filter is set to 40 μm to 200 μm, preferably 80 μm to 120 μm. Alternatively, a pellet in which steel wool is filled in a copper container can also be suitably used. The antifouling composition may be used as it is or in the form of a solution by impregnating the porous material.

[0041] To form an antifouling layer on a spectacle lens by coating, a method can be employed in which a fluorine-containing silane compound is dissolved in an organic solvent and then coated on the surface of the spectacle lens. Examples of the coating method include dipping, spin coating, spraying, flow coating, doctor blade coating, roll coating, gravure coating, and curtain flow coating.

[0042] After the formation of the antifouling layer, a heating step may be performed. In the heating step, the reaction between the antifouling agent composition and the spectacle lens surface is promoted. By carrying out this heat treatment, it is possible to suppress a decrease in water repellency due to physical and chemical stresses in daily use, such as wiping the spectacle lens surface or the adhesion of detergent, and thereby improve durability. The temperature for the heat treatment is preferably 40°C to 90°C, more preferably 50°C to 80°C, and even more preferably 55°C to 70°C.

[0045] The basic component of the surface free energy of the antifouling layer is preferably 0.95 mJ / m 2 more preferably 0.97 mJ / m 2 More preferably, it is 0.99 mJ / m or more. 2 The upper limit of the basic component of the surface free energy of the antifouling layer is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 3.0 mJ / m 2 may be less than 2.0 mJ / m 2 may be less than 11.5 mJ / m 2 It may be the following:

[0046] The surface free energy and the base component of the surface free energy in this disclosure are values ​​determined by acid-base theory. Water, diiodomethane, and ethylene glycol are used as the liquids for measuring contact angles, and 2 μL of each liquid is dropped onto the surface of the substrate, and the contact angle is measured using a DM700 made by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd. From the measured contact angle, the surface free energy and the values ​​of each of its constituent components are calculated using the surface free energy calculation formula based on acid-base theory. The surface free energy and the basic component of the surface free energy can be set within the above ranges, for example, by adjusting the conditions for forming the antifouling agent composition and the antifouling layer.

[Example]

[0076] The present embodiment will be described in more detail below using examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0077] [Preparation of antifouling agent composition and preparation of antifouling agent pellets] [Production Example 1, Comparative Production Examples 1 to 3] A 20% by mass solution was prepared by mixing the compounds shown in Table 1, and this solution was impregnated into a metal pellet containing steel wool in a copper container so that the solid content after solvent evaporation would be 15 mg. After impregnation with the 20% by mass solution, the pellet was heated in an oven set to 80°C for 20 minutes to evaporate the solvent and leave a solid content of 15 mg.

[0078] [Table 1]

[0079] The various abbreviations in Table 1 are as follows: Compound A-1: ​​Compound (A) represented by formula (1) (R 1 =-CH3, R 2 =-C3H6-, n=1, R 3 =-C3H6-, Rf 4 =(OCF2) 38 (OCF2CF2) 40 (OCF2CF2CF2) 0.5 , Rf 5 =-CF3.) Compound B-1: Compound (B) represented by formula (2) (R a =-C2H4OH, R 10 =-C3H6-, a=1, R 11 =-CH3, b=1, c=20, R 1 =-CH3, R 2 =-C3H6-, n=1, R 3 =-C3H6-, Rf 4 =(OCF2) 38(OCF2CF2) 40 (OCF2CF2CF2) 0.5 )

[0080] [Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 to 3] (Deposition of antifouling agent on mirror lenses) A glass vessel was charged with 90 parts by weight of colloidal silica (Snowtex-40, Nissan Chemical Industries, Ltd.), 81.6 parts by weight of the organosilicon compound methyltrimethoxysilane, 176 parts by weight of γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, 2.0 parts by weight of 0.5N hydrochloric acid, 20 parts by weight of acetic acid, and 90 parts by weight of water. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 8 hours and then allowed to stand at room temperature for 16 hours to obtain a hydrolysis solution. To this solution, 120 parts by weight of isopropyl alcohol, 120 parts by weight of n-butyl alcohol, 16 parts by weight of aluminum acetylacetone, 0.2 parts by weight of a silicone surfactant, and 0.1 parts by weight of an ultraviolet absorber were added, stirred at room temperature for 8 hours, and then aged at room temperature for 24 hours to obtain a coating solution. A plastic lens substrate (manufactured by HOYA Corporation, product name EYAS, prescription S0.00, C0.00, plastic lens for glasses) pretreated with an alkaline aqueous solution was immersed in the above-mentioned coating solution, and after immersion, the plastic lens was pulled up at a pulling rate of 20 cm / min and heated at 120°C for 2 hours to form a cured film and a hard coat layer (referred to as Layer A). Next, an antireflection layer consisting of alternating layers of silica and zirconia was formed on the hard coat layer by vacuum deposition. After the deposition of the anti-reflection layer, an ion gun treatment was carried out to activate the surface under the following conditions. Accelerating voltage: 500V Accelerating current: 230mA Inlet gas: oxygen (20sccm) Ion irradiation time: 30 seconds The dome with the substrate set in it was then moved to a chamber where the antifouling agent was vapor-deposited. The antifouling agent-impregnated pellets prepared in step 1 were set on a halogen heater heating table in the chamber. The pellets were heated with the halogen heater, and the antifouling agent in the pellets was vapor-deposited. The temperature reached during heating was approximately 600°C. After the antifouling agent was vapor-deposited, the substrate was taken out and placed in an oven set at 60°C, and annealed for 4 hours.

[0081] The resulting eyeglass lenses were evaluated by the following methods, and the results are shown in Tables 2 and 3.

[0082] [Wipeability test] An artificial sebum was prepared with the following composition: Cholesterol: 2% by mass Squalene: 2% by mass Palmitic acid: 2% by mass Triolein: 4% by mass Ethanol: 90% by mass This was applied to a glass substrate by spin coating, and a silicone stopper, which had been previously roughened by polishing with #240 abrasive paper, was pressed against the glass substrate with a 2 kg load, allowing the artificial sebum to adhere to the end of the silicone stopper. Next, the silicone plug was pressed against the spectacle lens to be evaluated with a load of 2 kg. Note that the spectacle lens obtained above was used as the evaluation spectacle lens. Next, the eyeglass lens was set in a friction and abrasion tester. This friction and abrasion tester was designed to perform a sliding test on the evaluation substrate at a constant load, constant speed, and constant stroke. The media (sliding terminal) used in the test was an eraser wrapped in Silbon paper. This was attached to a friction and wear tester, and a load of 500 g was pressed against the evaluation eyeglass lens, the stroke was set to 30 mm, and the wipe was performed by sliding back and forth 10 times. The state of wiping off of the artificial sebum was checked every 10 times. The wiping condition was evaluated by measuring the haze value and converting it into a numerical value. When the haze was 1 or less, fingerprints were barely noticeable.

[0083] [Durability test] (Method for measuring contact angle) Using a fully automatic contact angle meter "DM-700" (Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.), a 2 mm diameter water droplet was created at 25°C on the tip of a needle and brought into contact with the top of the convex surface of the eyeglass lens to create the droplet. The angle between the droplet and the surface was measured and used as the contact angle. The contact angle θ can be calculated using the following formula, where r is the radius of the droplet (the radius of the part where the droplet is in contact with the eyeglass lens surface) and h is the height of the droplet. θ=2×tan ‐1 (h / r) The contact angle was measured within 10 seconds after the water droplet touched the eyeglass lens in order to minimize measurement errors due to evaporation of water. (Reciprocating friction test) A lens cleaning paper "Dasper" (manufactured by Ozu Sangyo Co., Ltd.) was wrapped around an eraser cut to 23 mm x 27 mm, and this was attached to a reciprocating friction and wear tester "Tribogear 30S" (manufactured by Yamato Scientific Co., Ltd.). A load of 2 kg was applied to the eraser, and the spectacle lens surface for which the initial contact angle had been measured was rubbed 600 times, and the contact angle was measured using the same method as for measuring the initial contact angle, for a total of 3,000 wipes. Thereafter, the spectacle lens surface was rubbed every 1,000 wipes, and the contact angle was measured using the same method as for measuring the initial contact angle, until the total number of wipes (the sum of all wipes) reached 5,000. The wipe resistance was evaluated according to the following criteria. A: Even after wiping 4,000 times or more, the contact angle decreased by less than 5° from the initial contact angle. B: After wiping 3,000 or more times but less than 4,000 times, the contact angle decreased from the initial contact angle by 5° or less. C: After wiping 2,400 times or more but less than 3,000 times, the contact angle decreased from the initial contact angle by 5° or less. D: After wiping less than 2,400 times, the contact angle decreased by 5° or less from the initial contact angle.

[0084] [Table 2]

[0085] [Table 3]

[0086] [Surface free energy measurement] The surface free energy characteristics were measured using the "DM700" manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd. The contact angle of the antifouling layer surface formed on the eyeglass lens was measured. Water, diiodomethane, and ethylene glycol were used as the liquids for measuring the contact angle. 2 μL of each liquid was dropped onto the eyeglass lens surface, and the contact angle was measured. From the measured contact angle, the surface free energy and the values ​​of each component that makes it up were calculated using the surface free energy calculation formula based on acid-base theory. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0087] [Table 4]
