Teflon launches next generation

A new generation of Teflon EasyCare lens coating has been launched with an enhanced hydrophobic and oleophobic top coating for improved cleaning and longer-lasting performance.

The company said that the developments in coating technology and the research programme meant that smudges on the lens surface could be wiped away more easily, while preserving the longevity of the cleaning performance.

The angle of water droplets is increased and the contact surface area is reduced, making it more resistant to rain and other fluids.
The anti-static component  makes  the coating less attractive to dirt. Sola added that Teflon EasyCare now offered 'the toughest scratch resistance following controlled abrasion tests', as well as eliminating more refractive glare than conventional AR lenses, for better visual clarity and cosmetic performance.
