The process
How a lens is hard-coated
-
Cleaning
The lens is thoroughly cleaned to remove any contaminants that may hinder coating adhesion.
-
Pre-treatment
A pre-treatment step is applied to enhance surface adhesion and ensure a strong bond between the coating and the lens.
-
Coating deposition
The hard-coat material is applied to the lens surface using a specialized process, such as spray coating.
-
Curing
The coated lens is cured under controlled temperature and time conditions to solidify the coating and achieve desired properties.
-
Inspection
The coated lens undergoes stringent quality-control inspections to ensure adherence to specifications.
