Abstract: The claimed invention relates to a flexible substrate having reduced shrinkage and curling, wherein said substrate is coated with a coating having a dual cure system, wherein said coating comprises a free radical curable component and a cationically curable component.

Abstract: The invention provides curable organic coatings with improved scratch resistance. More particularly, the present invention relates to a combination of inorganic filler having a 50th percentile particle diameter of from about 3 to about 9 micrometers comprised of aluminum oxide, silicon dioxide, ceramic spheres or mixtures thereof, and particles having a 50th percentile particle diameter of from about 10 to about 150 micrometers. The liquid coatings have a viscosity before curing of from about 100 cps (mPa-s) to about 70,000 cps (mPa-s) at a shear rate of 0.15 s?1. The use of inorganic filler materials of the defined type and particle size are combined with the curable organic coating to improve the scratch resistance of the coating without a negative impact on the physical and performance properties or application parameters of the original coating material.

Abstract: An UV curable coating for a golf ball or a similar game ball that the UV curable coating is the reaction product of at least one UV-reactive component, a polyfunctional aziridines, and a photo-initiator. The UV curable coating is substantially free of solvent, therefore, contains nearly 100% solids.
