The OMS AR Stripper will also remove residues on racks in AR coating vacuum machines This Product is one of the safest of it's kind on the market. The unique combination of acids and solvents in water permits the use of only 11.5% of an acid mix and still be the best and fastest A-R coating remover that provides a minimum of accidental health hazards.
Pour the liquid into a plastic container with a snap on lid. Make sure that when not in use the cover is on airtight. Insert lens with the plus side (convex) downward. This way there will be no formation of an air bubble. Wait about 25 seconds and remove lens from liquid with plastic tweezers and rinse under fresh water. The A-R coating should now be gone. Certain lenses may require a longer wait or a re-dip for another short period.
Certain high index lenses, polycarbonates or their coatings may get damaged by the a-r stripper. Testing the lens is recommended. this can be easily done by dipping the lens for about one mm at a corner for a few seconds. Should there be any adverse reaction, as the material going milky white, the damage was done only on a small part which can be removed on a bevel edger. Even while the liquid does not create immediate burns on the skin, caution should be exercised. The A-R stripper liquid is a mix of several acids and solvents. Any body contact with the material should be avoided. When re-coating an Anti-Reflex layer: Dip lenses for 10 minutes into AR Remover Neutralizer available from OMS. This product will neutralize any leftover acid in the lens pores, specially the ones made with CR39. This will ensure that the new A-R coating will not delaminate due to out gassing by the left over acid parts.
As all other chemical products, used A-R Stripper should be disposed off according to law. The best way seems to be to collect the used up liquid in a old plastic 1 gallon bottle. This type bottle will hold the equivalent of 18 to 20 used bottles of A-R stripper. A one gallon bottle full of used up a-r stripper translates to more than a 2 year supply of the product for a normal size lab. When full, dispose through a chemical waste company or bring it to one of those periodic free municipal collections of chemicals.
