A radiation curable coating composition for various substrates contains an adduct of acrylic acid and an epoxy resin (which may be modified with an anhydride, such as maleic anhydride), and a reactive acrylate monomer vehicle. The coating composition can be pigmented and can also contain additives commonly used in coatings, such as wetting agents and flow control agents. The coating composition does not require the usual hydrocarbon vehicles that give rise to air pollution problems. Surface gloss of a UV cured film obtained from a pigmented coating composition can be increased by using a photosensitizer combination of 2-chlorothioxanthone and a phenylketone, such as benzophenone. Adhesion of a cured coating is improved by replacing the tertiary amine co-sensitizer, at least in part, with dimethylaminoethyl acrylate.
In a coating composition for curing by UV light that comprises, by weight of said composition, 10-75% of a diacrylate of a diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol or of a diacrylate of a diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol further esterified with 0.1-1 mole, per mole of said diacrylate, of a dicarboxylic acid anhydride, 20-90% of an ester of acrylic acid, and a sensitizer combination of 0.1-2% of 2-chlorothioxanthone and 0.5-6% of a tertiary amine;
