Uv curable coatings system for improved scratch resistance

Abstract

A coatings system for improved scratch resistance is provided. The coatings system comprises: 1) a primer comprising a difunctional (meth)acrylate ester monomer, a first multifunctional (meth)acrylate, and a first silane-treated aluminum oxide; and 2) a topcoat comprising a difunctional (meth)acrylate ester monomer, a second multifunctional (meth)acrylate, and a second silane-treated aluminum oxide. Further, the coatings system may be UV curable or another type of radiation curable. A method of preparing the coatings system and an article coated with the coatings system are also described.
