Abstract

Abstract An optically readable information disc having a substrate plate which on at least one side comprises an information layer of a lacquer cured by irradiation for example by ultraviolet light, said layer carrying an optically readable information track in which the lacquer is a monocomponent lacquer which, in addition to 0.1-5% by weight of auxiliary substances, comprises only one radiation cross-linkable compound in a quantity by weight from 95-99.9% selected from the group consisting of alkanedioldiacrylates, alkanedioldimethacrylates, alkeneglycoldiacrylates and alkeneglycoldimethacrylates having the acrylate or methacrylate groups in end position, of which the alkane moiety and alkene moiety comprise from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and in which the cured lacquer apart from the auxiliary substances comprises no or substantially no extractable material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 141 words
An optically readable information disc comprising a substrate plate on at least one surface of which there is present an information layer of a radiation cured lacquer, said information layer comprising an optically readable information track having information areas situated alternately at a higher and a lower level along the track, characterized in that, in addition to the usual auxiliary substances in a quantity by weight from 0.1 to 5%, the lacquer comprises only a single radiation curable monomeric compound in a quantity by weight from 95-99.9% and selected from the group consisting of alkendioldiacrylates, alkanedioldimethacrylates, alkeneglycoldiacrylates and alkeneglycoldimethacrylates having the acrylate or methacrylate groups in the end positions and in which the alkane radical and alkene moieties are of 4-12 carbon atoms, and in which the cured lacquer apart from the auxiliary substances comprises no or substantially no extractable material.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 141 words
An optically readable information disc comprising a substrate plate on at least one surface of which there is present an information layer of a radiation cured lacquer, said information layer comprising an optically readable information track having information areas situated alternately at a higher and a lower level along the track, characterized in that, in addition to the usual auxiliary substances in a quantity by weight from 0.1 to 5%, the lacquer comprises only a single radiation curable monomeric compound in a quantity by weight from 95-99.9% and selected from the group consisting of alkendioldiacrylates, alkanedioldimethacrylates, alkeneglycoldiacrylates and alkeneglycoldimethacrylates having the acrylate or methacrylate groups in the end positions and in which the alkane radical and alkene moieties are of 4-12 carbon atoms, and in which the cured lacquer apart from the auxiliary substances comprises no or substantially no extractable material.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 34 words
An optically readable information disc as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the lacquer comprises 95.99.9% by weight of an alkendioldiacrylate the alkane moiety of which comprises from 6 to 10 carbon atoms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 32 words
An optically readable information disc as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the lacquer comprises at least 96% by weight of 1,6-hexanedioldiacrylate and for the remainder one or more auxiliary substances.
