RADIATION CURED ISLAND COATING SYSTEM

摘要

A process for manufacturing a metallized substrate using the island coating method, includes depositing a coating layer containing a radiation curable nonvolatile film former. The coated part is then vacuum metallized to form the metal islands of the present invention. A layer of clear resinous protective dielectric topcoat containing a radiation curable non-volatile film former is then deposited to completely cover the layer of metal islands while maintaining the aesthetic properties of the metallizing island coating system at a reduced cost and with minimal variability among parts.
