  • US 5,753,146 relates to compositions comprising at least two photochromic naphthopyran compounds which are free of amino-substituted aryl groups on the carbon atom which is adjacent to the oxygen atom of the pyran ring.
  • these compositions When activated in a suitable carrier and exposed to ultraviolet solar radiation, these compositions are said to have a gray or brown neutral color when activated, which in the a * and b * ranges from + 10 to -10 of the CIELAB- Color system is included.
  • Measurements of the glasses described as prior art in US Pat. No. 5,753,146 have shown that their color position in the darkened state is a * ⁇ + 8undb * ⁇ +4. In the brightening phase, even

  • the spectral transmission difference in the range from 41 5 to 640 nm in the darkened state after 15 minutes of exposure to 50 klux at 23 ° C. according to prEN 8980 should be, for example, less than 10%, more preferably less than 8%.
  • the spectral transmission according to V ⁇ in the completely deactivated state is preferably over 80% with a material thickness of 2 mm without antireflection coating.
  • Photochromic glasses are all-round glasses, ideally they should replace both a colorless glass and a sun protection glass. This results in the requirement for the highest possible transmission without light excitation, e.g. at night. With anti-reflective coating, the aforementioned value enables transmission values close to or around 90%.

  • a neutral-colored gray photochromic plastic object has, for example, the one shown in FIG. 1 reproduced spectral absorption in the visible spectral range after 1 5-minute darkening with 50 klux at 23 ° C according to the measurement method described in prEN 8980.
  • the spectral transmission difference is less than 1 0%, this condition is also with a tolerance of the limits of ⁇ 1 0 nm during the
  • the neutral-colored impression can also be achieved, for example, with a range reduced to 600 nm.
  • the color location of a photochromic plastic glass that contains more than one photochromic dye also depends on the spectral composition of the excitation light. This applies not only in the excitation phase (direct sunlight or scattered light), but also in the brightening phase for the residual light.
  • a standard is used below which is independent of all eventualities at the measurement location, such as the time of year and day, latitude, altitude, weather and climate conditions etc.
  • the analysis of the transmission light using a diode array and EDP - as described in more detail in the technical section of prEN 8980 - allows the transmission and the color location to be determined every 3 seconds.
  • a color-neutral gray photochromic plastic object is one whose color location is constantly close to the zero point during the darkening and brightening described. All 4 quadrants of the CIELAB color system are preferably run through here. This can be done clockwise or counterclockwise or in a loop movement (shape of an eight). Since the starting point is usually only reached again by special measures (eg baking out) and not lightened within 15 minutes at 23 ° C, the color locus is usually not closed. The ideal case of a circle concentric around the zero point is not attainable, rather the shape of the color locus movement is mostly ellipsoid, square or diamond-shaped. The C * value is important for the neutral gray color.

  • the color-neutral gray photochromic plastic object has a color location after a 15-minute period
  • a neutral hue in additive mixing results from the mixing of at least two colors. If there are only two colors, these should be approximately complementary, i.e. the absorptions of the photochromic dyes or their maxima in the visible spectral range must be shown in the UCS color table of CIE 1 976 for 2 ° normal observers by a the "Weissfeld" straight line can be connected. With only two dyes, this means that the absorption maximum of one dye should be below approximately 495 nm, that of the other should be above approximately 570 nm. The difference between the absorption maxima of possible combinations results in values of approx. 1 00 to 1 30 nm.
  • pyrans Decisive for the true color locus of color-neutral gray glasses is not only the position of the absorption maximum, but the band shape of the absorption in the visible spectral range.
  • pyrans have a very broad “soft” structure-free absorption band in the visible spectral range.
  • various pyrans for example those described in WO 98/28289, have two absorption bands in the visible spectral range, the shorter-wave ones having almost the same intensity as the longer-wave ones.

  • the absorption and concentration of the dyes must be selected in such a way that no dye alone takes up more than 60% of the intensity of the excitation light above 380 nm.
  • a photochromic dye is already a neutral-colored glass possible. This has the additional advantage that all factors that impair a neutral color during the darkening and brightening, such as different darkening and brightening speeds, are excluded. In this case, the color is not influenced by the temperature (no different temperature dependency) or the spectral composition of the excitation light (no different excitation spectra).
  • photochromic plastic glasses can be manufactured in three different ways.

  • such a glass is never gray or brown, but red to red-violet. It is completely ignored in US Pat. No. 5,753,146 that pyrans in particular with ⁇ max > 525 nm are often distinguished by two or more absorption maxima in the visible spectral range.

  • the saturation absorption is not of the importance as described in US Pat Mix can be adjusted.

Since inefficient photochromic dyes cannot be used economically, commercially available dyes in ⁇ OD shifttt only differ by a maximum of about a factor of 2, as is also shown in Table 1 in US Pat. No. 5,753,146. Since the absorption is an exponential function for concentration according to the Lambert-Beer law, this can be achieved with small concentration variations (at least as long as you are still in the approximately linear range).
