Abstract
Abstract A directly printable composition is provided. The composition is the reaction product of a vinyl-functional monomer, a chlorinated olefinic resin, optionally an amide-functional monomer, and optionally a free radically polymerizable silicone-containing material. The reaction product is stable and can be applied to a variety of substrates. A variety of inks can be directly printed on the coating.
