Photopolymerizable compositions

Abstract

In a photopolymerizable composition comprising, as essential components, (A) a compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond capable of undergoing addition polymerization and (B) a photopolymerization initiator, the improvement which comprises that the photopolymerization initiator comprising a combination of (a) a 5-[(arenooxazol-2-ylidene)ethylidene]-2-thiohydantoin compound represented by the general formula (I) (a 5-[(substituted benzoxazol-2'-ylidene)ethylidene]-2-thiohydantoin compound) or (II) (a 5-[substituted naphthol(1,2-D)oxazol-2-ylidene)ethylidene]-2-thiohydantoin compound) and (b) a 2,4,6-substituted-1,3,5-triazine compound represented by the formula (III): ##STR1## wherein X represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, a substituted aryl group, an aryloxy group, an aralkyl group or a halogen atom; R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 each represents an alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an aryl group, a substituted aryl group or an aralkyl group, which may be the same or different; and R.sup.4, R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 each represents an alkyl group, a substituted alkyl group, an aryl group, a substituted aryl group or an aralkyl group, which may be the same or different but at least one of which represents a mono-, di- or trihalogenomethyl group.
