Abstract: The present invention generally relates to the field of radiation curable compositions comprising (meth)acrylated acrylic polymers comprising pendant hydroxyl groups, methods for making these radiation curable compositions and their uses.

Abstract: Radiation curable aqueous compositions (I) with reduced photo-yellowing are provided. Said composition comprises water, at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound and at least one carboxylic acid hydrazide-containing compound (H) in an amount sufficient to reduce photo-yellowing. Materials of the invention have the advantage that they help to reduce photo-yellowing. They may have a beneficial effect on long term yellowing caused by weathering too. Compositions (I) of the invention allow a better quality control of products and materials just after cure. Materials of the invention can be used to make coatings, inks, paints, varnishes and adhesives and they are further suitable for the making of composites, gel coats, 3D-curing and the making of 3D-objects in general.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an energy curable aqueous composition (X) comprising (a) Water; (b) At least a water-insoluble ethylenically unsaturated compound (A); (c) At least one (meth)acrylic polymer (B1) containing ionic functional groups that are at least partly neutralized by a neutralizing agent (C) and/or at least one (meth)acrylic hybrid (B2) containing ionic functional groups that are at least partly neutralized by a neutralizing agent (C); and (d) At least one nonionic emulsifier (D) comprising alternating polyalkylene oxide segments, said nonionic emulsifier (D) having an HLB value of at least 4.5. Materials of the invention are suitable for the preparation of inks, overprint varnishes or coating compositions.
