Abstract
Abstract A mixture of compounds comprising an ethylenically unsaturated polyester and the reaction product of acrylic or methacrylic acid with a polyglycidyl ether of a polyalkanol or a polyphenol is subjected to actinic light to cure said mixture. The actinic light treatment may be carried out in the presence of air.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
The method comprising subjecting, in the presence of air, a composition comprising an actinic light sensitive mixture of compounds comprising a. an ethylenically unsaturated polyester of an alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol, b. from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight, based on said ethylenically unsaturated polyester, of the reaction product of a member of the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid with a polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol or polyhydric alcohol, and c. from about 0.01 to about 10 percent by weight, based on the weight of said composition, of a photosensitizer to actinic light having a wavelength in the range of from about 1800 to about 4000 Angstrom units to cure said composition and to impart thereto hardness, stain resistance and abrasion resistance.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
133 words
The method comprising subjecting, in the presence of air, a composition comprising an actinic light sensitive mixture of compounds comprising a. an ethylenically unsaturated polyester of an alpha, beta ethylenically unsaturated polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol, b. from about 10 to about 80 percent by weight, based on said ethylenically unsaturated polyester, of the reaction product of a member of the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid with a polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol or polyhydric alcohol, and c. from about 0.01 to about 10 percent by weight, based on the weight of said composition, of a photosensitizer to actinic light having a wavelength in the range of from about 1800 to about 4000 Angstrom units to cure said composition and to impart thereto hardness, stain resistance and abrasion resistance.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said composition contains at least one other interpolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 2 wherein said other interpolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer is styrene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
