Plastic lenses having a high-refractive index, process for the preparation thereof and casting polymerization process for preparing sulfur-containing urethane resin lens and lens prepared thereby
First Claim
1. A process for preparing a polyurethane lens which comprises:
- (a) forming a mixture of a polyisocyanate, a polythiol, and an acid phosphoric ester selected from the group consisting of diisopropyl acid phosphate, dibutyl acid phosphate and dioctyl acid phosphate, and(b) subjecting the mixture containing the acid phosphoric ester obtained in step (a) to cast polymerization in a mold for a plastic lens to obtain a polyurethane lens.

Abstract
One aspect of the present invention relates to a process for preparing plastic lenses having a high-refractive index comprising forming a mixture containing one or more polyisocyanate compounds; one or more active hydrogen compounds selected from the group consisting of a polyol compound having no sulfur atom, a polyol compound having at least one sulfur atom, and a polythiol compound having at least one sulfur atom in addition to the sulfur atom contained in mercapto group and at least one internal releasing agent and then casting and polymerizing the mixture.
A second aspect of the present invention relates to a process for preparing a sulfur-containing urethane resin lens is here disclosed which comprises mixing polyisocyanate having two or more isocyanato groups, polythiol having two or more thiol groups and one or more surface active agent selected from the group consisting of fluorine-containing nonionic surface active agents, silicone-containing nonionic surface active agents, alkyl quaternary ammonium salts and acid phosphoric esters and then cast polymerizing the mixture in a mold made of a glass or a metal. Lenses prepared by the processes are also disclosed.

- 3. A process for producing a plastic lens comprising adding at least one acid phosphoric ester as an internal mold releasing agent to a mixture of one or more polyisocyanate compounds and one or more active hydrogen compounds selected from the group consisting of polyol compounds and polythiol compounds having at least one sulfur atom in addition to the mercapto groups and conducting cast polymerization in a lens mold so as to form a plastic lens.
- 14. A process for preparing a sulfur-containing urethane resin lens which comprises pouring a mixture of polyisocyanate having two or more isocyanato groups, polythiol having two or more thiol groups, and one or more acidic phosphate esters into a mold made of a glass or metal, heating and cast polymerizing the same.
