Stripping is a harsh process using acids that attack not only the AR coating but also the hardcoat. We don't recommend stripping lenses but if it has to be done you must remove the hardcoat and...
Good question regarding mirror coats. There are two methods of making a mirror. You can use a metal like chrome and overcoat it to develop a color like blue, gold, red and so on. This kind of...
There is also a material call "HIVEX" which is 1.56 index and sold by Conant Optical has properties like Trivex ie: impact resistance and is very soft so you can bend it easly. Trivex refractive...
The process is very simple. Once the hydrophobic is applied a mask that has the logo or manufacturer mark is placed over the lens to protect the rest of the hydrophobic coating. The lens is then...

Typically A/R coatings are manufacutured using Inorganic materials like Quartz and Zirconium. Organic A/R coatings are usually dip or spin coated and are made using lacquers with different...
The A/R color has nothing to do with the amount of residual reflectance left over. You can have a green A/R which has a high amount of reflectance or one that is very soft ( almost invisible) with...
Many of you have brought up some valid points like A/R performance on different lens products ie: Poly versus 1.67 tests are just that test and don't always equate to what happens to products worn...
Yes, in order to produce a "color free" A/R coating you have to give up performance. This comes in the form of higher reflectance across the entire visible spectrum. I personally don't like the...
In the Essilor Clear Guard Formula they incorporate an ITO (indium Tin Oxide) layer which is an anti-static layer to allow the A/R stack to repel dirt, dust and small particulates which can cause...
This depends on the type of mirror coating that is on the glass lens. It is a metal mirror or Dielectric type? Metal mirrors can be removed using a cold mirror removal mixture. If it is a...
Most A/R coatings are between 3500 and 7000 angstroms thick. This depends on the design of the A/R stack.
Absorption can appear from a variety of reasons. First has the process worked properly before? Or is this a new process? You should check the following:
You should use Ti305 instead of Tio2. ...
There seems to be a big misunderstanding about A/R and brand Names.
Most assume that just because lab X produces a Zeiss A/R product that is must be good.
Zeiss A/R is just a name for a...
On Novermber 28, 2006 we received a letter from ODC stating that all the assets and holdings of ODC have been sold to Financial Resource Associates Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio and that they have been...
It has everything to do with the undercoat or hardcoat. The reason A/R coatings are growing in use now is due to the combination of a high quality thermal cure hardcoat applied to both sides of the...
It sounds like the coatings are showing signs of what is called "Absorption"
This terms refers to a color or slight reduction in transmittance due to a problem in the A/R coating process. For...
Ecca has Satis Vacuum Equipment but is using a process they purchased from another supplier along with their chemicals.
A quality inline dip coating system with enviromental and solids/solvent monitoring can run upwards of 300,000.00 or more. That is just to purchase the equipment. Then you need the expertise to...
The main difference is that on products like Hoya's High Vision and Essilors Alize they are applying a thermal cure hardcoat to both lenses surfaces prior to the application of the A/R coating. ...

Actually, there is a company in Corpus Christi Texas that has developed a Photochromic hardcoat. The company is called Exenne Optical. The procees is being used by some lens company on the East...
Without actually seeing the lenses it is difficult to know the exact cause of the failures. Since this was coated using the Zeiss Carat procees the lab that did the coating probally overcoated the...
