Abstract: The present invention provides for a radiation curable composition comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound (A), and at least one inert copolymer (B) that is obtained by an addition reaction of: (b) from 3 to 50% by weight of at least one monofunctional glycidyl ether (b1) and/or at least one monofunctional glycidyl ester (b2) of aliphatic saturated monocarboxylic acids during the free radical polymerization of: (b?) from 50 to 97% by weight of at least two ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable monomers of which at least one contains at least one —COOH group (b?1), wherein the quantity of —COOH groups in component (b?1) is at least equimolar to the quantity of epoxy groups in component (b), and wherein the amount of solvents in the radiation curable composition of the invention is below 10% by weight. The present invention further relates to their making and their use in coating compositions, adhesives, inks and varnishes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiation curable composition comprising at least one (meth)acrylated compound compound (A); and at least one inert polyester (B) that is prepared from a (i) polyol component comprising at least one cyclic ether polyol and (ii) from a polyacid component. The present invention further relates to their preparation and uses.

Abstract: The invention relates to amino(meth)acrylates obtained from the reaction of amines with a mixture of urethane(meth)acrylates and (meth)acrylated diluent sand their use for making coatings, adhesives, varnishes and inks. The amino(meth)acrylates of the invention are particularly suited for use in sealer compositions for parquet and laminate floors.

Abstract: The invention relates to a radiation curable aqueously dispersed polyester resin composition containing an emulsifier D and the reaction product AC of a hydroxy functional polyester resin A and an olefinically unsaturated compound C which can be radically polymerized and which is attached to the polyester resin backbone by an ester linkage or a urethane linkage. The invention also relates to a process for its preparation and to a method of use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates radiation curable composition comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound (A); at least one inert polyester resin (B); and at least one inert resin (C) different from (B). These present invention further relates to their preparation and their uses, especially in inks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a radiation curable composition comprising at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound (A) and at least one inert OH-terminated polyester (B) prepared from a polyol component that comprises ethylene glycol and from a polycarboxy component that comprises phthalic acid and/or phthalic anhydride. These polyesters can be further modified to bear moieties comprising photo-initiating activity. The present invention further relates to their preparation and their use in for instance lithographic and flexographic applications.
