ABSTRACT:
A method of fast curing polythiourethane transparent casted substrate, usable for making optical articles such as ophthalmic lenses, which comprises the steps of:1) Providing a first component A comprising a polythiourethane prepolymer having isocyanate or isothiocyanate end groups and a viscosity at 25° C. ranging from 0.02 to 0.4 Pa.s;2) Providing a second component B comprising a polythiourethane prepolymer having thiol (SH) end groups and a viscosity at 25° C. ranging from 0.2 to 2.0 Pa.s;3) Mixing together first and second components A and B and filling a moulding cavity of a casting mould assembly with the resulting mixture;4) Curing said mixture to obtain a transparent solid substrate, said curing step comprising:a) a first step for polymerizing said mixture to obtain a gel within 1 to 10 minutes; andb) a second step of post-curing the gel to obtain the transparent solid substrate; and5) Recovering the transparent solid substrate from the mould.
