Abstract:
A material for vapor deposition which is obtained by mixing a specific organosilicon compound having an alkyl group substituted with fluorine, a specific silane compound and a specific modified silicone oil, a process for producing an optical member which comprises a step of solidifying the material for vapor deposition described above by heating and a step of vapor depositing the solidified material for vapor deposition on a substrate made of a plastics by heating by a heating means to form a thin film exhibiting a water-repelling property, a process for producing a plastic lens for spectacles which is the above process applied to producing the plastic lens for spectacles, and a plastic lens for spectacles which is produced in accordance with the process. The water-repelling thin film in the optical member and in the plastic lens for spectacles produced in accordance with the above processes exhibits improved slipping property in combination with improved durability and abrasion resistance from those of conventional thin films.
