Abstract

Abstract The present invention provides the discovery of an improved radiation curable coating composition comprising at least one acrylic monomer, a photoinitiator, and an ultraviolet light absorber selected from triazine or a dibenzoyl resorcinol derivative or a mixture thereof, the dibenzoyl resorcinol derivative having the formula where Ar and Ar' are independently substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic or polycyclic aryl groups and R' is H or a linear or branched alkyl chain having less than about 10 carbons bearing a -Si(OR2)3, where R2 is a C1 to C6 alkyl group.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 147 words
A radiation curable coating composition comprising about 5-40 weight % silyl acrylate modified colloidal silica, silica having an average particle size in the range of about 15-30 nm where said silica is silane functionalized colloidal silica in hexanediol diacrylate, about 50-90 weight % hexafunctional polyurethane acrylate, about 0.5-5.0 weight % 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoyltriphenylphosphine oxide, about 1-20 weight % UV absorber dibenzoyl resorcinol derivative having the formula ##STR8## where Ar and Ar' are independently substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic or polycyclic aryl groups and R' is H or a linear or branched alkyl chain having less than about 10 carbons bearing a --Si(OR 2 ) 3 , where R 2 is a C 1 to C 6 alkyl group, about 0.1-4.0 weight % hindered amine light stabilizer, and a surfactant or leveling agent, where said coating is diluted with an alcohol or a glycol ether solvent or mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 147 words
A radiation curable coating composition comprising about 5-40 weight % silyl acrylate modified colloidal silica, silica having an average particle size in the range of about 15-30 nm where said silica is silane functionalized colloidal silica in hexanediol diacrylate, about 50-90 weight % hexafunctional polyurethane acrylate, about 0.5-5.0 weight % 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzoyltriphenylphosphine oxide, about 1-20 weight % UV absorber dibenzoyl resorcinol derivative having the formula ##STR8## where Ar and Ar' are independently substituted or unsubstituted monocyclic or polycyclic aryl groups and R' is H or a linear or branched alkyl chain having less than about 10 carbons bearing a --Si(OR 2 ) 3 , where R 2 is a C 1 to C 6 alkyl group, about 0.1-4.0 weight % hindered amine light stabilizer, and a surfactant or leveling agent, where said coating is diluted with an alcohol or a glycol ether solvent or mixtures thereof.
