INK RECEPTIVE MATERIAL, TINTED OPTICAL LENSES AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to tinted optical lenses and to methods of manufacturing tinted optical lens. This invention relates to a method for tinting optical lenses using an ink receptor film. The method of the invention allows a good transfer of the color to the substrate which represents the support of lens, a good final coloration of the substrate with good color homogeneity. The invention relate also to a method of tinting optical lenses, using the said ink receptor film which is applied onto a primer layer coating the substrate of the lens . The ink receptor material comprises an inorganic filler and an water-based emulsion. Preferably the ink receptor material also comprises a water-soluble polymer, a modified cationic polymer and a carrier able to accelerate the absorption of the ink into the substrate.
