The composition for optical materials of the present invention comprises a compound having in one molecule at least one structure represented by the following formula (1):wherein R, R, R, R, X, Y and n are as defined in the disclosure, an amine compound and an isocyanate compound. Resins obtained by curing the composition by polymerization are useful as well-balanced optical materials having a high impact resistance, a high refractive index and a sufficiently high Abbe's number.

Composition for optical material

There is disclosed herein an oxygen absorbent composition comprising an organic oxygen absorbent (A) which neither absorbs nor releases moisture and in which an oxidizable main component is supported on a porous silicate having an average pore diameter of 200 to 5,000 .ANG., and a formaldehyde absorbent (B) which neither absorbs nor releases moisture and is at least one of an amine, a thiol and a sulfonic acid that is supported on a porous carrier. According to this invention cultural assets made of organic materials which are required to be kept in a medial humidity atmosphere can be preserved in an atmosphere of a medial humidity, a low oxygen concentration and a low formaldehyde concentration by the use of the disclosed oxygen absorbent composition.

Oxygen absorbent composition

An oxygen absorption composition without requiring moisture in oxygen absorption which comprises an oxygen absorbent comprising, as a principal component, an oligomer in liquid form having an unsaturated group, a number-average molecular weight in the range of 150 to 4,000 and a viscosity in the range of 100 to 4,000 cP such as butadiene oligomer in liquid form and an oxygen absorption-accelerating substance, being supported on a carrier; and an other gas absorbent. The principal component may be replaced with an oligomer in liquid form having an unsaturated group and being incorporated with an oxygen-unabsorptive diluent to adjust the viscosity of the mixture to 10 to 4,000 cP. The composition is enhanced in oxygen absorption capability in every preservation atmosphere from a low humidity to an intermediate and high humidity, easily producible, minimized in gas generation after oxygen absorption and almost free from odor.
