Abstract
Abstract A method of forming a multicoat is provided comprising the steps of applying a photocurable colored base coat on a substrate, photocuring the same, applying a clear top coat on the base coat, and then baking the entire multicoat at an elevated temperature. The method is characterized by the use of a polymerizable photocuring accelerator having an aminobenzoyl group and a polymerizable unsaturated group for accelerating the photocuring the base coat.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
A method of forming a multicoat coating on a substrate which comprises the steps of applying on said substrate a photocurable colored base coat containing a photocurable film-forming polymer, a photosensitizer capable of photochemically inducing free radical addition polymerization of said photocurable film-forming polymer and a photocuring accelerator which is an unsaturated polymerizable polymer having an aminobenzoyloxy or N-mono or N,N-di-C 1 -C 6 alkyl substituted aminobenzoyloxy group; photocuring said base coat; applying a clear top coat on said base coat; and then baking the resulting multicoat at an elevated temperature.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
91 words
A method of forming a multicoat coating on a substrate which comprises the steps of applying on said substrate a photocurable colored base coat containing a photocurable film-forming polymer, a photosensitizer capable of photochemically inducing free radical addition polymerization of said photocurable film-forming polymer and a photocuring accelerator which is an unsaturated polymerizable polymer having an aminobenzoyloxy or N-mono or N,N-di-C 1 -C 6 alkyl substituted aminobenzoyloxy group; photocuring said base coat; applying a clear top coat on said base coat; and then baking the resulting multicoat at an elevated temperature.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said photocuring-accelerating polymer is a reaction product of (A) o-, m-, p-aminobenzoic acid, their N-mono- or N,N-di-C 1 -C 6 alkyl derivatives, (B) a polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid or a polymerizable unsaturated alcohol, and (C) an epoxy resin, a polyalkylene glycol, a polyester resin, an acrylic copolymer, a polycarboxylic acid, a polyisocyanate, or a polyepoxy compound, said reaction component (C) having at least two reaction sites capable of binding said reaction component (A) and (B), respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The method of claim 2, wherein said photocuring-accelerating polymer is present in said base coat from 0.05 to 10% by weight as the corresponding aminobenzoic acid based on the total weight of the nonvolatile content of the base coat.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 3, wherein said photosensitizer is benzophenone, benzil, benzoin isopropyl ether, xanthone or thioxanthone.
