Abstract A resinous coating composition capable of forming a cured coating film in air when irradiated with high energy ionizing radiation is formed by the admixture of (1) a resin obtained by reacting (A) an hydroxyl-containing vinyl polymer or copolymer with (B) an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanate obtained by reacting 1.4 to 0.6 moles of an ester of an Alpha - Beta unsaturated monocarboxylic acid containing at least one hydroxyl group in the molecule with one mole of a diisocyanate wherein 1,000 gm. of (A) is reacted with 0.1 to 0.4 gram equivalence of (B), to form a vinyl polymer or copolymer containing ethylenically unsaturated side chains, and (2) a monomer copolymerizable with said ethylenically unsaturated bonds in said resin (1).
a monomer copolymerizable with said ethylenically unsaturated bonds in said resin (1).
