Described herein is a cast-molding process for producing contact lenses in a relatively-short curing time from a lens-forming composition, which comprises (a) at least one thiol-containing compound or component, (b) at least one metal scavenger, and (c) at least one free radical scavenger and which has a pH of from about 2.5 to about 5. The addition of a chain-transfer agent into a lens-forming composition can reduce not only the curing time of the lens-forming composition but also reduce the elastic modulus of resultant crosslinked materials (e.g., contact lenses) from the lens-forming composition. The lower pH and the addition of metal scavenger and the free radical scavenger into the lens-forming composition can ensure that the lens-forming composition to have a shelf life of at least three days.
本文描述了一种在相对较短的固化时间内用镜片成型组合物生产隐形眼镜的浇注成型工艺,该组合物包括(a)至少一种含
硫醇的化合物或组分,(b)至少一种
金属清除剂,以及(c)至少一种自由基清除剂,其 pH 值为约 2.5 至约 5。在镜片成型组合物中加入链转移剂不仅能缩短镜片成型组合物的固化时间,还能降低由镜片成型组合物生成的交联材料(如隐形眼镜)的弹性模量、隐形眼镜)的弹性模量。在镜片成型组合物中降低 pH 值并添加
金属清除剂和自由基清除剂,可确保镜片成型组合物的保质期至少为三天。
