MOISTURE RESISTANT GLASS CONTAINER

摘要

A glass container having resistance to strength degradation includes a glass substrate and a layer of a cured reactive coating composition. The composition includes from about 10 weight percent to about 74 weight percent of a monomer having two (meth)acryloyl groups per molecule; from about 5 weight percent to about 50 weight percent of a reactive crosslinking monomer having at least three (meth)acryloyl groups per molecule; from about 20 weight percent to about 70 weight percent of an alkyl monoacrylate monomer; from about 1 weight percent to about 30 weight percent of an organosilane monomer having one or more functional groups capable of reacting with the glass substrate and having a nonhydrolyzable organic functional group capable of reacting with a (meth)acryloyl group and an effective amount of a polymerization initiator compound. A method for increasing the resistance of a glass container to strength degradation includes applying a layer of the above composition and curing the layer by high intensity UV radiation.
