Abstract

Provided is a plastic lens obtained by curing a curable composition including a curable compound, wherein the curable composition includes 50 parts by mass or more of a (meth)acrylic curable compound relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound, and in the plastic lens, the absorbance ratio of the maximum absorbance Abs1 at a wave number of 1680 to 1620 cm −1 relative to the maximum absorbance Abs2 at a wave number of 1800 to 1690 cm −1 in an infrared spectrum obtained by measurement with a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer is 7.0% or less, as calculated by using the following Formula 1:

Absorbance ratio (%)=(Abs1/Abs2)×100.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A plastic lens obtained by curing a curable composition comprising:
a radical polymerization initiator B including:
component B1 that includes a radical polymerization initiator of which 10 hour half life temperature is 30 degrees or higher but lower than 60 degrees, the component B1 being present in an amount of from 4.00 to 5.00 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of a total amount of a curable compound, and

the curable compound, wherein:
the curable compound includes 50 parts by mass or more of a (meth)acrylic curable compound relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound, the (meth)acrylic curable compound includes:
component A1 that includes at least two polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylic curable compounds in which an average addition mole number of an alkylene oxide chain selected from ethylene oxide chain and propylene oxide chain is 10 or less, and
component A2 that includes at least two polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylic curable compounds in which an average addition mole number of an alkylene oxide chain selected from ethylene oxide chain and propylene oxide chain is within a range of 11 to 30, the component A2 being present in an amount of from 5 to 50 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound, and

in the plastic lens, the absorbance ratio of the maximum absorbance Abs1 at a wave number of 1680 to 1620 cm −1 relative to the maximum absorbance Abs2 at a wave number of 1800 to 1690 cm −1 in an infrared spectrum obtained by measurement with a Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer is 4.0% or less, as calculated by using the following Formula (1):
Absorbance ratio (%)=(Abs1/Abs2)×100  (1).

2. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the component A1 is 20 parts by mass or more relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound.

3. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the curable composition further includes a curable compound containing an ethylenically unsaturated double bond other than the (meth)acrylic curable compound.

4. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the radical polymerization initiator B is from 1.00 to 6.00 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound.

5. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the radical polymerization initiator B is an organic peroxide.

6. The plastic lens according to claim 5 , wherein the radical polymerization initiator B is a peroxyester compound.

7. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the radical polymerization initiator B further includes component B2: a radical polymerization initiator of which 10 hour half life temperature is 60 degrees or higher but 80 degrees or lower.

8. The plastic lens according to claim 7 , wherein an amount of the component B2 is from 0.01 to 1.00 part by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound.

9. A spectacle lens comprising at least a lens base, wherein the lens base is the plastic lens according to claim 1 .

10. Spectacles, which includes the spectacle lens according to claim 9 and a frame having the spectacle lens mounted in.

11. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the average addition mole number of the alkylene oxide chain in the at least two polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylic curable compounds in the component A1 is from 3 to 9.

12. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylic curable compounds in the component A1 includes a polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylic curable compound in which the average addition mole number of the alkylene oxide chain is 3.

13. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the component A1 is 30 parts by mass or more and 60 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound.

14. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of the component A1 is 40 parts by mass or more and 60 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the curable compound.

15. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the absorbance ratio is 2.0% or more and 3.5% or less.

16. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the lens is a photochromic lens containing a photochromic pigment.

17. The plastic lens according to claim 1 , wherein the at least two polyalkylene glycol (meth)acrylic curable compounds in the component A2 includes 2,2-bis[4-methacryloyloxypolyethoxy-phenyl]propane.

18. The plastic lens according to claim 17 , wherein the 2,2-bis[4-methacryloyloxypolyethoxyphenyl]propane has an average addition mole number of 17.

19. The plastic lens according to claim 17 , wherein the curable compound includes only one (meth)acrylic curable compound that consists of the component A1, the component A2, a (meth)acryl-amide based curable compound, and trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate.
