Radiation curable compositions

A radiation curable composition comprising

• (I) a radiation curable component comprising a compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated group,
• (II) a chlorinated polyester component that is prepared from
• (A) a polyol component which is substantially free of any Bisphenol A derivative compound and which is substantially free of any cyclic ether polyol compound, said polyol component comprising a polyol compound (Ai) which is cyclic, which has at least two hydroxyl groups, and wherein the polyol component (A) comprises at least 40% by weight of one or more cyclic polyol(s) (Ai), and
• (B) a polycarboxylic acid component comprising a compound (Bi) having at least one chlorine group and at least two carboxyl groups,
• (C) optionally at least one monoalcohol compound,
• (D) optionally at least one monocarboxylic acid compound,
• (E) optionally at least one polycarboxylic acid compound substantially free of chlorine groups,
• wherein the chlorine content of the chlorinated polyester (II) is between 15 and 75%, and
• wherein the chlorinated polyester (II) has a number average molecular weight of between 500 and 5000 Daltons, and
• (III) optionally an additional radiation curable component comprising at least one oligomeric compound having at least two radiation curable ethylenically unsaturated groups,
• wherein the radiation curable component (I) and the chlorinated polyester (II) are different from each other.
