Abstract
Abstract 1. A PROCESS FOR PREFERENTIALLY AND RAPIDLY POLYMERIZING OR CURING OR CROSSLINKING THE EXTERIOR SURFACE OF A FILM LAYER ON A MOVING SUBSTRATE OF A PHOTOCURABLE MONOMER OR POLYMER COMPOSITION CONTAINING AT LEAST ONE POLYMERIZABLE ACRYLYL OR METHACRYLYL GROUP WHICH COMPRISES EXPOSING SAID PHOTOCURABLE COMPOSITIONS UNDER AN INERT GAS ATMOSPHERE TO A LOW PRESSURE MERCURY SHORT WAVE ULTRAVIOLET RADIATION SOURCE, AT LEAST 75% OF THE RADIATED POWER BEING AT A WAVELENGTH OF 2,537 ANGSTROM UNITS WHEREBY THE EXTERIOR SURFACE OF THE FILM IS PREFERENTIALLY POLYMERIZED OR CURED OR CROSSLINKED.
