Description

  The present invention relates to a colored light-transmitting plastic member such as a lens and a method for coloring a light-transmitting plastic member.

  A description will be given of a vision correction eyeglass lens and a sunglasses lens, which are one of plastic optical products.

  In general, an ultraviolet absorber that absorbs ultraviolet rays in a high energy region of 430 nm wavelength or less is used for plastic lenses such as a vision correction eyeglass lens and a sunglasses lens in order to protect the eyes or give fashion. Of course, the lens is often colored.

  According to Sanseido Ojibayashi, “a lens is an optical element that refracts light to diverge or focus it. Usually, it is a transparent body with both spherical surfaces and spherical surfaces. "Aspherical lenses with one or both sides made of a spherical surface are also used", but here, those that simply transmit or reflect light, as well as lenses for correcting astigmatism used for spectacle lenses, etc. Will be described as a lens.

  As a method for coloring a lens, there is a method in which at least a part of a molded product to be a lens is immersed in a dye bath containing a dye for a predetermined time so that the molded product is infiltrated with a dye (patented). Reference 1).

  However, in this method, since the dye is present in a dispersed state in the lens, the light entering the lens is diffused by the dye to reduce the light transmittance. As a result, there was a phenomenon that felt darker than when seen with the naked eye. Further, since this coloring method uses a dye bath solution, uneven dispersion of the dye in the dye bath solution, and further uneven penetration of the dye when the molded product is immersed in the dye bath solution are generated. In some cases, quality problems occur. For this reason, it has been necessary to take a coloring treatment method using a pair of left-eye and right-eye lenses (preventing uneven coloring). At the same time, there are problems such as wastewater treatment of the liquid in which the dye used in the dyeing bath is mixed, and loss of energy used for temperature control during the dyeing process.

  As another method, the lens is quickly colored to function as sunglasses when exposed to light containing ultraviolet rays such as sunlight, and fading and transparent in an indoor environment without such light irradiation. There is a method of using a photopolymerization initiator for manufacturing eyeglasses that function as normal eyeglasses, so-called photochromic plastic lenses (Patent Document 2, Non-Patent Document 1).

  However, since this method is a lens having photochromic properties, it is difficult to obtain a lens that is always colored, and it is difficult to perform predetermined coloring. Further, in order to place importance on photochromic properties, no consideration has been given to the transmittance of light transmitted through the lens.

  On the other hand, it is known that a synthetic resin such as a thermoplastic resin or a thermosetting resin used as a lens material is colored when irradiated with ionizing radiation in the manufacturing process or the process of using the resin (Patent Document 3). . However, this radiation irradiation is not intended to positively color the resin for use, but has been devised to treat coloring as an obstacle and prevent coloring.

  In addition, a coloring method is known in which a coating (resin composition containing a color former) formed on the surface of a substrate is colored by exposure to radiation (Patent Document 4).

  However, in this coloring method, it is necessary to coat the surface of the substrate with a resin composition to be colored, and the substrate itself cannot be colored.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a colored light-transmitting plastic member and a method for coloring the light-transmitting plastic member, which can absorb light having a short wavelength, and can be uniformly colored with no unevenness in a predetermined color by simple processing process management. This is to eliminate problems such as waste water treatment and energy consumption related to the coloring treatment.

  The first means of the present invention is characterized in that a light-transmitting plastic member can absorb light having a short wavelength by coloring it by irradiation with ionizing radiation.

  According to a second means of the present invention, in the first means, the short wavelength light is light having a wavelength of 480 nm or less.

  According to a third means of the present invention, in the first means, the plastic member is at least a resin composition based on a raw material monomer of a (thio) urethane resin, or a resin composition based on an allyl monomer. It is constituted by one.

  According to a fourth means of the present invention, in the third means, the raw material monomer of the (thio) urethane resin is composed of a combination of a polyisocyanate compound and a polyol compound.

  According to a fifth means of the present invention, in the first means, the ionizing radiation is an electron beam or a gamma ray.

  According to a sixth means of the present invention, in the first means, the light transmissive plastic member is an optical member such as a lens.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the method for coloring a light transmissive plastic member, a colored light transmissive plastic capable of absorbing short-wavelength light by irradiating the light transmissive plastic member with ionizing radiation. A member is obtained.

  The eighth means of the present invention is the seventh means characterized in that the short wavelength light is light having a wavelength of 480 nm or less.

  According to a ninth means of the present invention, in the seventh means, the plastic member is at least a resin composition based on a raw material monomer of a (thio) urethane resin, or a resin composition based on an allyl monomer. It is constituted by one.

  According to a tenth means of the present invention, in the ninth means, the raw material monomer of the (thio) urethane resin is composed of a combination of a polyisocyanate compound and a polyol compound.

  The eleventh means of the present invention is the seventh means characterized in that the ionizing radiation is an electron beam or a gamma ray.

  The twelfth means of the present invention is characterized in that, in the seventh means, the irradiation dose of the ionizing radiation is selected from a range of 10 kGy to 300 kGy according to the color to be colored.

  According to a thirteenth means of the present invention, in the seventh means, the light transmissive plastic member is an optical member such as a lens.

  According to a fourteenth aspect of the present invention, in the thirteenth aspect, the optical member is in a state of spectacles in which a lens and a spectacle frame are integrated, and the lens is irradiated with the ionizing radiation in the state of the spectacles. It is characterized by this.

  According to a fifteenth means of the present invention, in the fourteenth means, the eyeglass frame is made of a radiation resistant material.

  According to a sixteenth means of the present invention, in the seventh means, after the surface of the light transmissive plastic member is at least hard-coated or hard multi-coated, the ionizing radiation is applied to the light transmissive plastic member. It is characterized by performing irradiation.

  Since the present invention has the property of absorbing short wavelength light having a large energy amount and transmitting light of other wavelengths by irradiation with ionizing radiation, it is not necessary to perform a special light shielding treatment. This light shielding effect becomes more prominent as the irradiation radiation dose increases. Moreover, since the light of the short wavelength which causes glare is absorbed, it becomes easy to distinguish the intensity of light of other wavelengths, and the contrast of the light of the light-transmitting plastic member can be increased.

  In addition, it is possible to uniformly color a predetermined color with simple processing process management, and further, it is possible to solve problems such as waste water treatment and energy consumption related to the coloring process.

Thus, specific effects may be given by mixing and / or polymerizing. In the present invention, this specific effect is expressed and described as an additional process of function enhancement.

  The radiation to be irradiated may be either a gamma ray or an electron beam, but an electron beam is preferable in consideration of convenience such that the coloring treatment work can be performed in a short time.

  Further, as one of the plastic optical members, even in the state of spectacles in which the lens and the frame are integrated, the lens can be colored by performing the radiation treatment on the spectacles.

  As Example 1, a spectacle lens of a plastic optical member colored by ionizing radiation irradiation (hereinafter referred to as a lens) will be described with reference to the drawings.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the production of a lens using plastic (thermosetting resin composition) is generally performed by a generally performed method: [casting process] → [cutting / polishing] [Process] → [Optical inspection process] → [Dyeing process] → [Coating process] → [Ball shape processing process] → [Final inspection process]

  However, in the practice of the present invention, the ionizing radiation irradiation process is performed as the dyeing process, and the process sequence at that time is [coating process] → [radiation irradiation process] → [lens processing process]. → [Final inspection process] will be performed. However, after the [radiation irradiation step], a [predetermined period elapsed step] is preferably interposed between the [radiation irradiation step] and the [lens processing step].

  In addition, the manufacturing process of this lens shows a general procedure, and the order of the processes can be changed as appropriate depending on the type of additional processing for function enhancement.

The outline of each process is as follows.
[Casting process]
In the casting process, a monomer (liquid plastic material) containing a resin that is the raw material for the lens base material is prepared, poured into a mold called a mold, and then heated in an electric furnace to homogenize the molecular structure. It is a process of hardening and manufacturing a prototype of the lens.

[Cutting and polishing process]
The cutting / polishing process consists of four stages: rough cutting, precision grinding, polishing and cleaning. Rough cutting is a stage in which the lens base is blocked by the shaft and center marking, and a machine called a generator is used to cut the back surface in accordance with a specified frequency. At this stage, the cutting surface is rough, and the fine adjustment of the curve is performed by the next precision grinding. Precision grinding is a stage where the surface machined by the generator is further finely cut by a machine using a diamond blade to form an error curve of 0.1 mm or less. Polishing is a stage in which the curved surface of a precision-ground lens substrate is polished with an abrasive mixed with polishing powder to polish the surface. Cleaning is a process of removing dirt and foreign matter after polishing.

[Optical inspection process]
The optical inspection step is a step of inspecting the surface accuracy, optical accuracy, and appearance accuracy of the lens substrate by comparison with design values.

[Coating process]
The coating process consists of three stages: hard coat treatment, cleaning and multi-coat treatment. In the hard coat treatment, after removing dirt and dust from the lens substrate by ultrasonic cleaning or the like, a silicon resin hard coat solution is applied to the surface of the lens substrate and cured by heat treatment. In the cleaning process, dirt and dust on the surface of the lens substrate are removed by ultrasonic cleaning or the like. In multi-coat treatment, an anti-reflection film is deposited on the back surface of the lens substrate by vacuum deposition to suppress reflection on the surface of the lens substrate, as well as a film that increases reflection as needed, and dirt and water. A film for preventing burn is formed as necessary.

  In addition, although the dyeing process before the coating process is not usually performed, an ultraviolet absorber, an infrared absorber, a light stabilizer, an internal mold release agent, an antioxidant, a dye, a photochromic dye, a pigment, an antistatic agent, This is appropriately performed when an addition treatment is required by adding known various additives such as a polarizing agent (polarizing film).

[Radiation irradiation process]
The radiation irradiation step is to irradiate the lens substrate with radiation by selecting the radiation irradiation intensity and time from a predetermined reference for the radiation dose, time, etc. corresponding to the color to be colored on the lens substrate, Irradiation is performed in the atmosphere at room temperature, and the irradiation dose is appropriately selected from 10 to 300 kGy (kilo gray) according to the color to be colored.

[Ball processing process]
In the target lens processing step, target lens processing is performed to cut the outer peripheral surface of the lens base material in accordance with the shape of the frame in response to a request from an eyeglass store. A jig is mounted at the center, and the outer peripheral surface of the lens base material is cut without any difference.

[Final inspection process]
In the final inspection process, the final inspection of the optics, appearance, and color tone of the lens finished through each process and inspection is performed.

  The coloring of the lens is completed when the color development is stabilized by allowing a predetermined period (about 100 days) to elapse in a natural environment after irradiation.

  However, as will be described later, since the lens color can clearly correspond to the lens color immediately after radiation irradiation and after a predetermined period of time for each irradiation radiation dose, the lens immediately after radiation irradiation can be used as it is. it can. In this case, the lens color changes with time in the course of the predetermined period.

  The lens shown in FIG. 1 is a resin composition in which a small amount of an ultraviolet absorber that absorbs ultraviolet rays having a wavelength of 430 nm or less is mixed with isocyanate-based and polythiol-based monomers in a ratio of 50%: 50% (equal amount). The thickness is 2.0 mm and there is no degree. In addition, as a representative example of the functional enhancement addition process, the coloring state of the same lens subjected to the hard coat process is also displayed.

  The ionizing radiation to be irradiated uses gamma rays from cobalt 60, and the irradiated radiation dose has seven levels of 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 kGy. And the environment of ionizing radiation irradiation is in air | atmosphere and room temperature.

  In accordance with the sample number in FIG. 1, the radiation dose of gamma rays irradiated by cobalt 60 is increased, and the coloration status of the lens displays changes in the coloration status immediately after the ionizing radiation irradiation and after 100 days from the ionizing radiation irradiation. did. In addition, the photograph for each sample number: The left side is a normal lens that has not been subjected to additional processing (indicated as a normal product), and the right side is a lens that has been subjected to a hard coat treatment as a representative of additional processing for functional enhancement (hardware) This shows a photo of “With coat”. The color display under the photograph for each sample number in FIG. 1 is described in comparison with JIS Z 8102: 2001 “Color Name of Object”.

  The term “immediately after radiation irradiation” refers to the time when the lens is obtained after the radiation irradiation is performed by the radiation irradiation engine, and is about one week after the radiation irradiation date.

  As a result, the coloration of the lens by ionizing radiation irradiation develops a reddish color as a whole immediately after the ionizing radiation irradiation, but changes to a greenish color when viewed 100 days after the ionizing radiation irradiation. I understood it. Although not shown here, this color change becomes the same color as that of about 100 days after 10 to 20 days have passed since the ionizing radiation irradiation, and the color change is small thereafter. In the course of 100 days, it was found that the change in the developed color is almost stable to the desired color.

  Therefore, according to the coloring method of the present invention, the color of the lens is selected based on the color sample at the final completion stage (100 days after irradiation with ionizing radiation) in response to the customer's request for coloring. By selecting the radiation dose, coloring to a predetermined color is possible.

  However, as described above, the coloring of the lens can clearly correspond to the lens color immediately after radiation irradiation and after the lapse of a predetermined period for each irradiation radiation dose, so the lens immediately after radiation irradiation can be used as it is. it can. In this case, the lens color changes with time in the course of the predetermined period.

  About this color change over time, the plastic resin mixed as the lens material is cross-linked by irradiation with ionizing radiation, and further, the cross-linking is promoted over time and stabilized over time. I guess that.

  Thus, it is possible to select the color to be colored by selecting and irradiating the irradiation dose of ionizing radiation. Furthermore, although not shown here, an ultraviolet absorber, an infrared absorber, and a light stabilizer The same ionizing properties can be applied to lenses subjected to addition treatment by adding various known additives such as internal mold release agents, antioxidants, dyes, photochromic dyes, pigments, antistatic agents, and polarizing agents (polarizing films). Although coloring by radiation irradiation was performed, it was confirmed that the color to be colored can be selected by selecting and irradiating the radiation dose of ionizing radiation irradiation as in the case of the normal product. In this case, although it became a slightly dull color compared with coloring of a normal product, the almost same coloring tendency was able to be obtained.

  As Example 2, the transmittance most relevant to the brightness of a lens colored by ionizing radiation irradiation will be described with reference to Table 1.

The lens used was subjected to a test for confirming the transmittance of the lens using the same plastic resin as in Example 1 under the following test conditions.

〔lens〕
The lens functions as a plastic resin in which isocyanate and polythiol monomers are mixed in a ratio of 50%: 50% (equal amount) and a trace amount of UV absorber that absorbs UV rays of about 430 nm wavelength or less. Two types of lenses (HMC) that have been subjected to both hard coating and multi-coating treatments (non-up-added lens (normal product)) and those that have been irradiated with an electron beam (electron) Line irradiation) and those not irradiated with an electron beam (for comparison).

[Ionizing radiation irradiation]
The ionizing radiation to be irradiated is an electron beam, and the irradiation radiation dose is selected stepwise between 10 kGy and 300 kGy. Test 1 is 10 kGy, Test 2 is 50 kGy, Test 3 is 100 kGy, Test 4 is 200 kGy, Test 5 was 300 kGy.

[Permeability measurement period]
The transmittance was measured by tracking and checking for about 4 months based on the fact that the above-mentioned change in coloring changes with time.

[Confirmation test results]
Although the lens of the present invention was also described in the coloring of Example 1 above, there is a change with time, and it takes about 100 days for the effect of ionizing radiation irradiation to be stabilized. The rightmost numerical value (transmittance when 110 to 120 days passed) was evaluated.

  As a result, the following could be confirmed.

1) When the irradiation radiation dose is as low as about 10 to 100 kGy, the transmittance can be maintained higher than that for comparison in both the normal electron beam irradiation product and the HMC.

2) When the irradiation radiation dose is 200 to 300 kGy, the transmittance for comparison tends to be high, but the difference is about 7% (relative).

3) Comparing the HMC with the normal product irradiated with the electron beam, the transmittance of the product irradiated with the HMC as compared with the normal product is small but high.

  In this confirmation test, when the irradiation dose of the electron beam is 200 to 300 kGy, the fact that the transmittance of the electron beam irradiation tends to be lower than the comparative transmittance is described in “Ionizing radiation”. A lens colored by irradiation absorbs light of short wavelengths that causes glare, making it easier to distinguish the intensity of light of other wavelengths and making it a high contrast lens. '' A drop of as much as 7% (relative) in the rate is well absorbed and a bright field lens can be achieved.

  The property of light transmitted through a lens colored by irradiation with ionizing radiation will be described with reference to FIG.

  The lens is a normal product of Example 1, and is irradiated with gamma rays of cobalt 60 as ionizing radiation at 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, and 300 kGy in seven radiation doses, and 100 days have passed after irradiation. Spectral spectra were measured using samples obtained and normal products that were not irradiated with gamma rays. A tungsten lamp / D2 lamp was used as a light source for spectral spectrum measurement, and U3500 (manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd.) was used as a spectral spectrum measuring instrument.

  As a result, ordinary products generally absorb light with a wavelength of about 430 nm or less due to the action of an ultraviolet absorber generally added and used as a plastic lens, but light with a wavelength longer than that is about 90%. In contrast to the transmittance, the one irradiated with gamma rays from cobalt 60 has an expanded light absorption range, almost absorbs light in the wavelength range of 480 nm or less, and the transmittance at wavelengths longer than that is cobalt. It was found that the gamma-ray irradiation dose due to 60 decreased as the radiation dose increased, and the total transmission amount decreased.

  Here, the gamma ray irradiated with cobalt 60 decreases the transmission amount of light having a wavelength of 480 nm or more, reduces the total transmission amount of light, and darkens the field of view. On the other hand, since light in a wavelength region of 480 nm or less is hardly absorbed and transmitted, light having a high energy wavelength that causes a glare phenomenon is eliminated, and the lens as a whole can have a high contrast.

The coloring of glasses by ionizing radiation irradiation will be described.
The spectacles were irradiated with ionizing radiation in the state of spectacles with the lens attached to the frame, and the thermosetting resin lens attached to the spectacles was colored in a predetermined manner.
About the coloring condition of a lens, predetermined | prescribed coloring can be obtained by implementing according to the conditions of the said Examples 1-3.

In addition, since the lens and the frame are irradiated together with ionizing radiation, the frame needs to be made of a radiation resistant material.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described with reference to the first to fourth embodiments, the use of eyeglass lenses for coloring will be described.

Since the coloration of lenses is expected to be particularly fashionable, customer demands for lens colors vary greatly.
In order to meet this customer's request, the first step is “selection by color sample of the lens as the final product”. The color sample as the final product needs to be stored in a database in correspondence with the ionizing radiation irradiation conditions for coloring the color of the lens. Of course, when the lens materials are different, it is necessary to verify the coloring condition data based on the relationship between the lens material and the radiation dose to be irradiated in advance and create a database.

In accordance with the color sample of the lens as the final product, the lens color to be colored is selected according to the customer's request.
And based on the database of the said ionizing radiation irradiation conditions, the radiation dose required for irradiation is selected from the color selected by the customer. The lens is irradiated with ionizing radiation in accordance with this radiation dose, and is a finished product after being left for a predetermined period of stabilization (about 100 days in Examples 1 and 2 above). By taking such a form, the lens of the thermosetting resin of the present invention can be colored.

  On the other hand, the coloring of the lens can clearly correspond the lens colors immediately after radiation irradiation and after a predetermined period for each irradiation radiation dose, so that the lens immediately after radiation irradiation can be used as it is. In this case, the lens color changes with time in the course of the predetermined period.

  The present invention can be applied to coloring of various forms of plastic members other than lenses.
