Disclosed are environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions which are curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation. In addition, the disclosed coating compositions are suitable for coating composite objects and/or objects comprising composite materials, such as, but not limited to, fiberglass, fire retardant fiberglass, carbon fiber, fire retardant carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and fire retardant Kevlar®. In addition, methods are disclosed for coating surfaces, or at least a portion of the surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain partially or fully cured coated surfaces. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed, including, for example composite architectural panels. Also disclosed are methods, processes, production lines, articles of manufacture, and factories which incorporate these environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation.
An actinic radiation curable, substantially all solids composition comprising a mixture of at least one oligomer selected from a group consisting of a urethane acrylate, an aliphatic urethane acrylate, an aliphatic urethane triacrylate, a hexafunctional urethane acrylate, a siliconized urethane acrylate, an aliphatic siliconized urethane acrylate, and combinations thereof, wherein the at least one oligomer is present in the mixture between about 15-40% of the composition by weight;
