Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.<\/a><\/strong> announced that\u00a0 group companies SDC Technologies, Inc. (Head Office: California, U.S.; President & CEO: Richard\u00a0 Chang) and Coburn Technologies, Inc. (Head Office: Connecticut, U.S.; President: Alex Incera)\u00a0 launched sales on January 23, 2025, of a tabletop lens coating system for small to medium-sized\u00a0 processing labs.*1<\/sup>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming as the second collaboration between Coburn and SDC, the new system combines both\u00a0 companies\u2019 know-how and expertise in coating equipment and UV-curable coatings. With a tabletop\u00a0 design, this new system becomes the most compact option among Coburn\u2019s lineup of lens coating\u00a0 systems. Its introduction therefore promises to let small to medium-sized lens processing labs make\u00a0 efficient use of high-quality anti-abrasion lens coatings while taking up minimal space, helping in turn\u00a0 to create more high-performance, scratch-resistant lenses.

Comment from Richard Chang, President <\/strong>\uff06 <\/strong>CEO, SDC Technologies: <\/strong>\u201cThe new Velocity TT system delivers a powerful, compact solution that allows labs of all sizes to  efficiently hard coat lenses, streamlining processes and conserving valuable time and resources.  Even smaller, independent labs can now benefit from high performance coating systems while  substantially reducing space and delivering premium, high-quality lenses to the market. With this  cutting-edge product, COBURN solidifies its position as the leader in spin coating technology, offering  the most comprehensive lineup of systems available on the market today. \u201c <\/p>\n\n\n

Overview of the Mitsui Chemicals Group\u2019s business for coating materials and lens processing  equipment <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a leader in optical lens materials, the Mitsui Chemicals Group provides lens manufacturers around  the world with a material lineup that leans on the \u201cQuality of View\u201d (QoV)*2 <\/sup>concept to offer various  refractive indices and unique properties, including the MR\u2122 series of high-refractive-index lens  materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mitsui Chemicals Group has gradually expanded its product lineup over the years in the area of  coating materials and lens processing equipment, both essential elements for ophthalmic lenses. This  expansion has seen the company help improve both the lifespan and performance of lenses.  Following the acquisition of SDC in 2008, the Mitsui Chemicals Group acquired anti-fog coatings  specialist FSI Coating Technologies in 2010, UV-curable hard coatings manufacturer LTI Coating  Technologies in 2014 (later merged into SDC in 2017), anti-reflective and hydrophobic\/oleophobic coatings manufacturer COTEC\u00ae <\/sup>in 2020, and ophthalmic lens processing equipment developer,  manufacturer and seller Coburn in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024 the Mitsui Chemicals Group went on to acquire photochromic dye technology from James  Robinson Speciality Ingredients, bolstering the Group\u2019s development capabilities for high performance photochromic lens materials and coating systems. Going forward, the Mitsui Chemicals  Group will leverage the coating material technologies and expertise it has cultivated to accelerate the  expansion of its business for coating materials and lens processing equipment, as well as to offer  sustainable, high-value-added products around the world for use in automotive, construction, optical,  medical and other applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
