Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a coating composition which crosslinks upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. The coating composition comprises: (A) from 1 to 5 percent of a saturated, chlorinated polymeric material selected from the group consisting of (1) a chlorinated polyolefin containing about 5 to 75 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, (2) a chlorinated polyolefin containing carboxylic anhydride groups and about 5 to 25 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, and (3) a mixture thereof; (B) from 20 to 80 percent of a radiation sensitive monomer having at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds; (C) from 0.1 to 5.0 percent of a photopolymerization initiator; and (D) from 80 to 20 percent of an acrylic addition polymer having at least one amino group and having a number average molecular weight of about 8,000-70,000. Also disclosed is a method of coating comprising: (I) applying to a plastic substrate a film of coating composition of the invention; and (II) curing the film by exposing the film to ultraviolet radiation. Also disclosed is a plastic article having directly adhered to a surface thereof, a crosslinked film produced by the method of the invention.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 189 words
A plastic substrate having directly adhered to a surface thereof, a crosslinked film from a coating composition containing: (A) from 1 to 5 percent of a saturated, cholorinated polymeric material selected from the group consisting of (1) a chlorinated polyolefin containing about 5 to 75 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, (2) a chlorinated polyolefin containing carboxylic anhydride groups and about 5 to 25 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, and (3) a mixture thereof; (B) from 20 to 80 percent of a radiation sensitive monomer having at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds; (C) from 0.1 to 5.0 percent of a photopolymerization initiator; and (D) from 80 to 20 percent of an acrylic addition polymer having at least one amino group and having a number average molecular weight of about 8,000-70,000, said addition polymer being derived from a mixture of copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing a monomeric ethylenically unsaturated amine; wherein said percentages of (A), (B), (C) and (D) are by weight based on nonvolatile components of said coating composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 189 words
A plastic substrate having directly adhered to a surface thereof, a crosslinked film from a coating composition containing: (A) from 1 to 5 percent of a saturated, cholorinated polymeric material selected from the group consisting of (1) a chlorinated polyolefin containing about 5 to 75 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, (2) a chlorinated polyolefin containing carboxylic anhydride groups and about 5 to 25 percent by weight of chlorine and having a number average molecular weight of about 5,000-50,000, and (3) a mixture thereof; (B) from 20 to 80 percent of a radiation sensitive monomer having at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds; (C) from 0.1 to 5.0 percent of a photopolymerization initiator; and (D) from 80 to 20 percent of an acrylic addition polymer having at least one amino group and having a number average molecular weight of about 8,000-70,000, said addition polymer being derived from a mixture of copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers containing a monomeric ethylenically unsaturated amine; wherein said percentages of (A), (B), (C) and (D) are by weight based on nonvolatile components of said coating composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 27 words
The plastic substrate of claim 1 wherein said radiation sensitive monomer having at least two addition polymerizable unsaturated bonds comprises a (meth)acrylic ester of an organic polyol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
The plastic substrate of claim 2 wherein said (meth)acrylic ester comprises pentaerythritol triacrylate and hexanediol diacrylate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 41 words
The plastic substrate of claim 1 wherein the amount of monomeric ethylenically unsaturated amine in said mixture of copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers ranges from 1 to 25 percent by weight based on the total weight of monomers employed in the mixture.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
The plastic substrate of claim 4 wherein said monomeric ethylenically unsaturated amine is selected from the group consisting of an acrylate-functional amine, a methacrylate-functional amine and a mixture thereof.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The plastic substrate of claim 1 having directly overlying said crosslinked film an adherent, thin layer of metal.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 28 words
