Abstract: This invention relates to a coating system which forms a highly abrasion resistant, chemical resistant, impact resistant protective finish for a substrate. The coating system is based upon using two coatings of different characteristics but having excellent adhesion to one another. The outermost or surface coating layer is a highly crosslinked hard polymer, which is adhered to an underlying base coating layer of a compatible softer polymer. The outer hard polymer preferably comprises a highly crosslinked acrylic copolymer derived from at least 40 percent by weight of a multifunctional aliphatic acrylate monomer of three or more functional groups, while the underlying softer polymer preferably comprises a crosslinked aliphatic urethane acrylate copolymer and the multifunctional aliphatic acrylate monomer of three or more functional groups.

The coating system is based upon using two coatings of different characteristics but having excellent adhesion to one another. The outermost or surface coating layer is a highly crosslinked hard polymer, which is adhered to an underlying base coating layer of a campatible softer polymer. The outer hard polymer preferably comprises a highly crosslinked acrylic polymer, while the underlying softer polymer preferably comprises a crosslinked urethane polymer.
Abstract: This invention relates to a fabric having a radiation cured crosslinked coating composition applied to the selvages of the fabric to provide ravel resistance thereto. The coating composition is a copolymer of an elastomeric-forming low viscosity monofunctional acrylate monomer and a reactive polyfunctional acrylate monomer. A method of forming a ravel resistant selvage in a fabric is also provided.
