AR CoatingHydrophobicService
AR & Hydrophobic Coating Service on Supplied Lenses
Vacuum-deposited AR coating with an optional hydrophobic top layer
Coating is offered as a service in its own right, separate from lens supply. AR anti-reflective coating is applied by vacuum deposition, and a hydrophobic water-repellent top layer can be added over it to make the surface easier to clean.
What defines this product
- 01
AR by vacuum deposition
A multilayer anti-reflective stack applied under vacuum to reduce surface reflection.
- 02
Hydrophobic top layer
A water-repellent layer that makes rain and sweat bead and run off rather than smear.
- 03
Coating as a service
Quoted on the substrate you send and the function you need, independent of lens supply.
- 04
Substrate review first
The base material and the current coating state of the substrate are reviewed before a job is accepted.
Technical specification
Parameters listed below come from our own production specification. Confirm your required combination before ordering — not every thickness is available in every curvature.
| Service type | Surface coating on customer-supplied or customer-specified lenses |
|---|---|
| AR application | Vacuum deposition |
| Hydrophobic layer | Optional top layer over the AR stack |
| Substrate | Reviewed per job — base material and existing coating state |
| Function selection | AR, hydrophobic, or AR with a hydrophobic top layer |
| Sampling lead time | 7–10 days (as quoted in our service data) |
| Bulk lead time | 12–15 days (as quoted in our service data) |
| Lead time start point | To be confirmed — the trigger from which the lead time is measured |
| Supply status | Quoted per job against the confirmed substrate and function |
Where this lens is used
Eyewear brands and lens finishers needing AR or hydrophobic coating applied to lenses produced elsewhere, and brands wanting a coated lens supplied as a single finished item.
How to order
Send the requirement
Lens type, base material, dimensions, coating stack and order quantity.
Drawing or sample
A drawing, CAD file or physical sample for cutting to a custom shape.
Quotation
We confirm the producible specification, the unit price and the lead time.
Sample, then bulk
Sampling available. Bulk production follows on from an approved sample.
