LAMINATED BOARD AND ELECTRON BEAM CURABLE COMPOSITION USED IN MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

A composite board provided with a decorative or protective surface is manufactured by coating an electron beam (EB) curable pigmented composition onto a carrier sheet, curing the composition by EB irradiation and then bonding the cured coated carrier to the board. The carrier is preferably a paper selected for high opacity. The coating composition preferably comprises acrylate oligomers and one or more acrylate monomers having a viscosity desirably greater than 1000 cps at 20 DEG C applied to result in coating weights less than 15 gsm. A coating composition and a coated paper are also claimed.
