Abstract
Abstract Ultraviolet curable polymerizable coating system having a built-in secondary curing mechanism is disclosed. The polymerizable coating system is a one component system comprising at least one urethane-acrylate or methacrylate, an allyl-group containing acrylate or methacrylate monomer, a non-allylic acrylate or methacrylate diluent, a polymerization initiator of the photoinitiator type, and a metal drier. The coating system is UV curable, and also possesses an additional cure mechanism.
