Abstract:
A blocking material composition, an essentially homogeneous mixture of
(a) 80-90 weight percent of an ethylene derived hydrocarbon polymer having a molecular weight of 2600, a melting point of 51. degree. C. and a density of 0. 79 g/cc at 93. degree. C. ,
(b) 10-15 weight percent of a thermoplastic, low molecular weight aliphatic hydrocarbon resin derived from mixed monomers of petroleum origin having a softening point of 98. degree. -102. degree. C. , a specific gravity of 0. 948 at 25. degree. C. , an acid number <1, a molecular weight of 1985 and
(c) 1-3 weight percent of an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer having a vinyl acetate content of 18 percent by weight, a melt index of 150 g/10 min, a density of 937 g/cm. sup. 3 at 23. degree. C. and a softening point, ring and ball, of 99. degree. C. Also disclosed is a lens block of the blocking material and method for securing an ophthalmic lens to one surface of a lens block by applying to one surface of said lens block a molten blocking material composition.
