Abstract
Abstract A process for improving the property of the surface of an optical material by coating the surface with a mixture comprising 25 to 70% by weight of polyacrylic acid, 0.5 to 10% by weight of hexamethoxy methylmelamine, 0.1 to 2% by weight of aminopropyltriethoxysilane 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester and 25 to 75% by weight of a solvent, drying and hardening the coating at a temperature of 50*C to 150*C.
