Crizal
Description
Crizal's unique six-step process integrates
two-sided scratch-resistant, anti-reflective, and hydrophobic
technology all in one factory process.
• Crizal delivers maximum durability by integrating two-sided
anti-scratch, anti-reflective, and hydrophobic caotings.
• Crizal eliminates cracking and peeling by ensuring optimum
compatibility between the lens and coating films and between
each coating layer.
• Crizal provides optimum light transmission and increased toughness
through a unique anti-reflective coating design. |
| 1. Automated Lens Cleaning |
| Ultrasonic cleaning ensures excellent bonding between lenses
& anti-scratch coating. Prevents peeling. |
| 2. Two-Sided Scratch-Resistant Coating |
| Glass-like silica particles ensure lens hardness. Polymer
matrix ensures lens flexibility and prevents cracking. |
| 3. Hi-Energy Surface Control |
| High energy particles bombard lens in vacuum chamber. Ensures
secure bond between AR & scratch-resistant layers. |
| 4. Anti-Reflective Coating |
| Zirconium oxide maximizes light transmission with increased
tougness. Reduces unwanted reflections by over 80%. |
| 5. Hydrophobic Coating |
| Reduces adhesion of grease and water stains. Vacuum chamber
application ensures coating will not peel off. |
| 6. Systematic Quality Control |
| Every production batch tested for scratch resistance, coating,
adhesion and clarity. Every lens meets Essilor's quality standards. |
