METHOD FOR IMPROVING DURABILITY OF MIRRORS UTILIZING RADIATION CURABLE COATINGS

摘要

Disclosed is a method of coating the metal side of a mirror by applying to a reflective layer of metal adhered to a transparent glass sheet one or more adherent protective layers wherein the outermost protective layer is a cured coating formed from a liquid coating composition which is curable by exposure to ultraviolet light (UV). The UV curable liquid coating composition has a high degree of resistance to shrinkage upon curing.
