Abstract: The invention provides a composition for fixing wound items comprising at least one ?,?-unsaturated polyester, and at least two different monomeric or oligomeric ethylenically unsaturated components. The composition of the present invention provides a composition having low curing emissions, low viscosities and excellent impregnation properties. After curing, these impregnation materials show high mechanical toughness levels even at elevated temperatures.

Abstract: Process for fixing wound items made from electrically conductive materials by impregnation with radically polymerisable compositions and thermal curing characterised in that the wound items are impregnated by immersion impregnation, flow coating, vacuum impregnation, vacuum pressure impregnation or trickle impregnation and that simultaneously with or after thermal curing the wound articles are cured by high-energy radiation. The process operates with low energy requirements and low emissions of volatile substances. Radically curable compositions are also described.
