Abstract
Compositions of an acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, which is the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and a photosensitizer are useful for coatings and inks; a pigment can optionally be present. The compositions can be cured by radiation.
Claims31
A composition comprising:
- I--an arcylated epoxidized soybean oil compound having in the molecule at least two groups of the formula ##STR10## wherein X is hydrogen or methyl, said compound being the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil reacted with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and
- II--a photosensitizer.
A composition comprising
- A. a liquid vehicle polymerizable to a solid upon exposure to actinic radiation comprising the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil and acrylic acid, having at least two acrylate groups per mole of product,
- B. a photosensitizer for said vehicle
- C. a pigment.
A composition comprising
- a. a liquid vehicle polymerizable to a solid upon exposure to actinic radiation, said vehicle comprising a major proportion of the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil and acrylic acid, having at least two acrylate groups per mole of product,
- B. a photosensitizer for said vehicle,
- C. a pigment.
