Abstract
Abstract Ultraviolet curable compositions useful for coating electrical devices are formed from an epoxy functional compound, a silanol functional compound, and a cationic photoinitiator. Ultraviolet radiation curable composition formed from an epoxy resin, a silanol functional compound, a carbonol functional polyether polysiloxane, and a cationic photoinitiator are useful as coatings.
