Abstract
Abstract A radiation curable coating composition suitable for providing a cured coating of enhanced processability on metal substrates, comprising 100 parts of an acrylic copolymer having a number average molecular weight of 15,000 to 800,000 and predominantly comprised of polymerized units of at least one acrylic ester; 5 to 150 parts of at least one polyfunctional compound having a molecular weight of not greater than 2,000 and two or more radical-polymerizable double bonds in the molecule; and 0.2 to 15 parts of at least one non-polymerizable and nonvolatile organic compound having a molecular weight of not greater than 3,000.
