Ultraviolet Light Immobilized Lens Blocking Adhesive Performance Quantified Using Polymer Analysis Techniques

Abstract

A new ultraviolet immobilized material has been formulated as a temporary holding adhesive to mount or block glass lenses during the generating and polishing operation. This recently developed "blocking" material possesses unique properties in both the liquid and solid state. The product transforms from a liquid to a solid through a controlled exposure of low intensity ultraviolet light.
