COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PRODUCING HIGH GLOSS RADIATON CURABLE COATINGS

摘要

High gloss finishes cured by electron beam without the need for a fully inert atmosphere are attained by providing a coating composition having a non-volatile photoinitiator and a flow control agent. In the method of producing the high gloss finishes, the coating is first exposed to electron beam in air or a partially inert atmosphere, then exposed to ultraviolet radiation in an essentially inert atmosphere.
