Abstract

Curable compositions that are particularly suitable for coating plastic ophthalmic lenses includes (a) 20% to 80% of a first acrylated aliphatic urethane; (b) 5% to 50% of a monofunctional acrylate; (c) (i) 2% to 30% of a second acrylated aliphatic urethane or (ii) 2% or 25% of a multifunctional acrylate or (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii); (d) 1% to 30% of a colloidal metal oxide; (e) 1% to 20% of a photoinitiator; and (f) a solvent, with the percentages based on weight. The cured composition provides superior abrasion and impact resistance as well as protection against environmental and chemical agents. In addition, the UV curable compositions are capable of forming films on various substrates; the film has excellent compatibility and adhesion to AR coatings that are applied thereon. No primer coating is required.
