Abstract
Abstract A radiation curable coating composition for various substrates contains an adduct of acrylic acid and a diepoxy resin modified with an anhydride, such as maleic anhydride, and a low boiling alcohol and/or ketone vehicle. The coating composition can be pigmented and can also contain additives commonly used in coatings, such as wetting agents and flow control agents. The coating composition does not require the usual hydrocarbon vehicles that give rise to air pollution problems or reactive monomer vehicles that can create health hazards.
