an optical adhesive product and a process for manufacturing an optical adhesive product , laminated film ensembles , and laminated lenses . the optical adhesive product includes a glyoxal water solution that is ph adjusted for use as an optical adhesive that demonstrates a wet peel force strength above about 6 newtons . a water based polymer , such as pvoh , may be added to the adhesive system . according to the process , the glyoxal adhesive system is manufactured and utilized to laminate tac - pva - tac films together to form a polar film ensemble . the polar film ensemble is laminated to an optical substrate and in the case of an ophthalmic lens , surfaced , coated and edged . the optical adhesive product avoids film separation in the polar tac - pav - tac film ensemble during edging .
