COMPOSITION FOR OPTICAL MATERIAL, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME

摘要

According to the present invention, a composition for an optical material, which comprises (a) a compound having two ²-epithiopropyl groups and having a specific structure, (b) a compound having one ²-epithiopropyl group and one glycidyl group and having a specific structure, (c) polyisocyanate and (d) polythiol, enables the prevention of the occurrence of such a defect that peeling traces linger on a lens. In the composition for an optical material according to the present invention, an embodiment in which (e) sulfur is additionally contained is preferred. Another embodiment of the present invention is a method for producing an optical material, characterized by adding an onium salt as a polymerization catalyst to the composition for an optical material in an amount of 0.0001 to 10% by mass relative to the total amount of the compound (a), the compound (b), polyisocyanate (c) and polythiol (d) and then polymerizing and curing the resultant mixture.
