| 摘要 |
The present invention relates to a polythiol compound for a high quality optical material that exhibits excellent physical properties in terms of color, a composition for an optical material including the polythiol compound, a method for producing an optical material, and a method for preparing the polythiol compound. The method includes reacting an epichlorohydrin compound containing 0.5% by weight or less of impurities with 2-mercaptoethanol. The polythiol compound is prevented from being colored. The polythiol compound can be used to produce a urethane optical material that is prevented from being colored and has a low yellowness index and a good color. The polythiol compound can be used to produce various optical materials including urethane optical materials. The optical material can be used to manufacture an optical lens having a good color. The optical lens can be used as a spectacle lens, a polarizing lens, a camera lens, or the like. |
