WATER-DILUTABLE/DISPERSIBLE RADIATION CURABLE COMPOSITIONS

摘要

The invention provides in one form a water-dilutable and/or dispersible radiation curable composition that is developable in aqueous alkaline solution and which comprises the reaction product of a (meth)acrylated polymeric binder containing acid group with a primary, or more preferably, a secondary amine containing compound of Formula (I), where R1 and R2 independently represent H or optionally substituted hydrocarbo, such as alkyl, aryl, cycloalkyl, arylalkyl, hydroxy alkyl, hydroxy aryl, hydroxy cycloalkyl and hydroxy cycloaryl. R1 and R2 may also contain, within them, the organo linkages such as (poly)amido, (poly)ester, (poly)urethane, (poly)urea, (poly)ether, and (poly)carbonate. A further requirement is that R1 and R2 must not both represent H at the same time.
