Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymerisable composition for bonding fibre units, in particular linear textiles such as filaments, yarns, twines or ropes, comprising at least one prepolymer having at least two polymerisable vinylidene groups, such as a polyurethane having at least two (meth)acrylate groups, at least one photoinitiator and at least one compound having at least one polymerisable vinylidene group with a weight average molecular weight of 70-800 g/mol. In addition, the present invention relates to a process for bonding fibre units, comprising applying the composition according to the invention to at least one fibre unit such as a filament, yarn, twine or rope and irradiation of the fibre unit thus obtained with radiation having a wavelength in the range of, for example, 100-450 nm.
