Abstract
Abstract Ultraviolet curable polymerizable coating system having a built-in secondary curing mechanism is disclosed. The polymerizable coating system is a one component system comprising at least one isocyanate-capped polyether diol and triol, an acrylate or methacrylate reactive diluent, and a polymerization initiator of the photo-initiator type. The coating system is also moisture curable.
