Abstract
This invention relates to a radiation curable silicone coating composition comprising an alkoxylated resin-polymer organosilicone network containing radiation curable functionality and a cationic photoinitiator. The radiation curable silicone compositions of this invention are useful as fast curing low and high release coating compositions which are especially suitable for release of pressure sensitive adhesives.
