Abstract

A method that allows trimming glass comprising a hydrophobic and/or oil-repellent surface coating, where a temporary protective layer is coated on the surface of said glass and the temporary protective layer imparts to the glass a surface energy of at least 15 mJ/m 2 .

Claims (23)

1. A method for improving adhesion between ophthalmic glass comprising a hydrophobic and/or oil-repellent substrate coating and an adhesive holding pad associated with a glass trimming device, said method comprising:

applying a temporary layer on the hydrophobic and/or oil-repellent substrate coating, the temporary layer imparting to the ophthalmic glass a surface energy of at least 15 mJ/m 2 .

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate coating has an initial surface energy lower than or equal to 14 mJ/m 2 .

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate coating has an initial surface energy lower than or equal to 12 mJ/m 2 .

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate coating comprises a silane based compound bearing fluorinated groups.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the substrate coating has an initial surface energy lower than or equal to 14 mJ/m 2 .

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the substrate coating has an initial surface energy lower than or equal to 12 mJ/m 2 .

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the substrate coating has a thickness of 10 nm or less.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive holding pad is arranged between an acorn element and the ophthalmic glass.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive holding pad is a one-sided self-adhesive sticker.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the adhesive holding pad is a two-sided self-adhesive sticker.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary layer is a mineral layer.

12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary layer comprises one or more metallic oxides.

13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary layer has a thickness less than or equal to 50 nm.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary layer has a thickness ranging from 1 to 50 nm.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary layer has a thickness ranging from 5 to 50 nm.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary layer has a thickness of at least 5 microns.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the temporary layer has a continuous structure.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ophthalmic glass further comprises an anti-reflection coating between the substrate coating and the temporary layer.

19. The method of claim 18 , wherein the anti-reflection coating is made of a mineral material.

20. The method of claim 18 , wherein the anti-reflection coating comprises multiple layers.

21. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ophthalmic glass comprises a substrate coated with a coating comprising a silane based compound bearing perfluoropolyether and/or perfluorocarbonate groups.

22. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ophthalmic glass comprises a substrate coated with a coating comprising a silane based compound bearing perfluoropolyether groups.
