This happens when the article is at a lower temperature than that of the environment. Current anti-fog coatings usually form smooth surfaces that are hydrophilic in nature. Surfactants are used in the coating formulation to increase the surface energy of the cured coatings enabling the droplet to sheet instead of forming spherical droplets on the substrate. The resulting water sheeting effect minimizes the scattering of light thereby improving visibility. \n\n[0005] In order to have long-lasting, or permanent, antifog performance, anti-fog coatings are typically formulated with large amounts of surfactants that can considerably lower the hardness of the coatings.However, oftentimes, the anti-fog coatings lose the anti-fog functionalities rather quickly and need to be rejuvenated with additional surfactants. Moreover, the long-lasting anti-fog coatings available on the market today are principally thermally cured and thus require long cure times at elevated temperatures that can impact manufacturing cost and productivity of anti-fog article manufacturers. Additionally, many of these coatings do not have abrasion resistant properties. Accordingly, there is a need for new fast-curing anti-fog coatings with longlasting anti-fog properties without the need for rejuvenation, and better abrasion resistant properties. \n\n[0006] Resistance to fogging and resistance to surface damage by fine particles are essential criteria for eye wear to be considered as personal protection equipment. Furthermore, personal protective eyewear is ideally required to pass European Standard EN 166 (e.g.,EN 166, rev. 2001)to obtain certification. EN 166 includes several tests for different safety requirements namely, stability to elevated temperatures, resistance to ultraviolet radiation, corrosion, ignition, fogging, surface damage by large particles/fine particles etc. Test methods included in EN 166 certification are EN 167, which includes optical test methods and EN 168, which includes non-optical test methods. Resistance to fogging of the oculars (referred to as “N-mark\") and resistance to surface damage by fine particles (referred to as",

The coating composition comprises a mixture comprising an initiator, a radical curable polyurethane having ethylenically unsaturated functional groups, and a liquid phase. The polyurethane having ethylenically unsaturated functional groups comprises the reaction products of A) a polyol component; B) a polyisocyanate component; C) an isocyanate-reactive surfactant; and D) an isocyanate-reactive component having ethylenically unsaturated functional groups. Aspects of the present disclosure yield anti-fog coatings with at least EN-166 N mark (anti-fog) and K mark (wear resistance) performance. \n\n[0015] The present disclosure further provides processes for making the coating compositions and methods of use of such compositions. Free radical polymerization is commonly used for rapid polymerization and curing of coatings. Both thermal and radiation-induced free radical polymerization are prevalent methods. The present anti-fog and wear resistant coating compositions of the present disclosure may be produced using either thermal or/and radiation-induced radical polymerization. Upon cure, a hydrophilic polymeric polyurethane network is formed from the coating compositions with the reactive surfactant bound to the network due to the binding between the reactive groups of the polymer resins (e.g., polyol, polyisocyanate, and isocyanate-reactive component having ethylenically unsaturated functional groups) and reactive surfactants. The bonding of the reactive surfactant to the polyurethane polymer network provide long lasting anti-fog properties to the present coating composition when applied to a substrate and cured. The coating compositions of the present disclosure yield anti-fog coatings with both EN-166 N and K mark performance, if not anti-fog and/or wear resistance performance superior to N-mark and/or K-mark. In accordance with some aspects of the present disclosure, the coating compositions result in coatings with permanent anti-fog properties and/or water-washable anti-fog properties. In further aspects, coating compositions retain their anti-fog properties after being subjected to multiple washes, for example, at least 20 washes, according to various wash anti-fog tests described below. \n\n[0016] In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, the coating compositions include a hydrophilic alkoxylated acrylate as all or part of the isocyanate-reactive component having ethylenically unsaturated functional groups. This acrylate, upon cure, further contributes to the hydrophilicity, and thus the permanent anti-fog properties of the polyurethane polymeric network forming the coating,while providing the crosslinkable acrylate functionality (i.e., ethylenically unsaturated functional group) reaction sites. \n\n[0017] Optionally, the coating compositions of the present disclosure may further include metal oxide nanoparticles that can impart further abrasion-resistant properties to the coating, upon cure, while still retaining optical transparency and/or fog resistant properties. \n\n[0018] The present disclosure also provides articles coated with a coating formed from the coating compositions of the present disclosure. The coatings are optically transparent and are applied on optically transparent substrates, such as lenses for eyeglasses. In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, the instant coatings may be used in cold applications, such as in ski goggles or an anti-fog freezer film or coating on transparent surfaces of a freezer or refrigerator.",

After the full $3~\\mathrm{kg}$ of sand impinges the rotating articles surface, the article is removed and washed with soap and water. After washing, the article is blown dry with filtered compressed air. The sample is then loaded into a Cadex Light Diffusion measurement device. The light diffusion must be less than $5\\operatorname{cd}/\\operatorname{m}^{2*}\\mathrm{lx}$ to pass this test.",

"chunk": "# Anti-Fog Properties \n\n[0092] Initial Anti-fog Test: Initial anti-fog test was carried out by positioning a coated substrate at a standard height (1\") above a beaker containing a source of $60^{\\circ}\\mathrm{C}$ water.The coated substrate was exposed to water vapor from the $60^{\\circ}\\mathrm{C}$ water for 1 minute. If fog appeared on the coated substrate during this test, the time taken for the appearance of the fog was recorded. If no fog appeared during 1 minute of exposure, then the coating was considered to “pass” the initial anti-fog test. \n\n[0093] Water Soak Anti-fog Test: A coated substrate was soaked in water at room temperature for 1 hour. The coated specimen was then removed from the water, suspended on a rack at $25^{\\circ}\\mathrm{C}.$ ? $50\\%$ RH for 12 hours and tested for anti-fog property by placing the coated substrate above beaker containing water at $50^{\\circ}\\mathrm{C}$ . for 3 minutes. If fog appeared on the coated substrate during this test, the time taken for the appearance of the fog was recorded. If no fog appeared during 1 minute of exposure, then the coating was considered to “pass” the 1 h water soak anti-fog test. \n\n[0094] N-mark: In addition the anti-fog property of $12\\mathrm{~h~}$ conditioned water-soaked coated specimens was tested using a YT-810 Resistance to Fogging Tester (manufactured by Yin-Tsung Co.,Ltd) according to the EN166/EN168 protocol. This procedure constitutes the N-mark test. The test involves placing the coated substrate onto the tester. When the test is started, the coated substrate is exposed to $50^{\\circ}$ C. steam, and a laser is passed through the lens. The amount of fogging was determined by reduction in the transmission of the laser light over 8 seconds (s) of exposure. The coating fails the fog test if the laser transmission falls below $80\\%$ of the initial reading during the 8 s period, if not, it is rated as a pass. \n\n[0095] The following is a description of the substrates referred to in the application: PC Lens: Polycarbonate Ophthalmic Lens; CR-39: CR-39 Polybisallyl Carbonate Ophthalmic Lens; MR-7: MR-7 Polythiourethane Ophthalmic Lens; PC Plaque: Bayer MAKROLON Polycarbonate Sheet. \n\n[0096] The current invention consists of the synthetic product of isocyanate-reactive surfactants, hydrophilic polyols and isophorone diisocyanate. Specifically, the following examples illustrate practical formulations of the invention.
