Abstract: Disclosed are environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions which are curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation. In certain embodiments, the disclosed coating compositions are suitable for coating flexible objects and/or objects having angular features, such as, but not limited to, flexible metal objects with angular features. In other embodiments, the cured coatings have improved slip properties and at least 6 H hardness. Such embodiments can served as substitutes for “hard chrome” coatings, TEFLON® coatings, coatings comprising TEFLON®, or TEFLON® like coatings. In addition, methods are disclosed for coating surfaces, or at least a portion of the surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain partially or fully cured coated surfaces. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed, including, for example leaf springs, hydraulic rods and cylinders.

Abstract: Disclosed are monomer matt additives that include actinic-radiation curable monomers and between about 10% and about 40% by weight of amorphous silica. Also disclosed are methods for producing the monomer matt additives. Further disclosed are uses of the monomer matt additives in forming actinic-radiation curable, substantially all solids coating compositions that form a matt coating upon curing. Such coating compositions can be used to coat a variety of surfaces, including wood surfaces, metal surfaces, plastic surfaces and composite surfaces.

Abstract: Disclosed are environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions which are curable using ultra violet and visible radiation. In addition, methods for coating surfaces, or at least a portion of the surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain partially or fully cured coated surfaces are also disclosed. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed, in particular motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts or accessories.

Abstract: Disclosed are thixotropic compositions that are curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation. In addition, methods of applying the compositions to fiber substrates such as paper are described, as are methods of curing the coated products. Partially or fully water-resistant articles made using these compositions, such as snow melting mats, windshield protectors, and freezer defrosting sheets are also disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are thixotropic compositions that are curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation. In addition, the disclosed compositions are suitable for applying to glass substrates, polycarbonate substrates, non-metal substrates, and fiber substrates, such as, but not limited to, paper product and natural fiber fabrics. Methods are disclosed for applying the compositions to glass substrates, polycarbonate substrates, non-metal substrates, and fiber substrates, or at least a portion of the glass substrates, polycarbonate substrates, non-metal substrates, and fiber substrates, and curing the applied composition to obtain partially or fully cured compositions. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating fully cured compositions are disclosed; such articles of manufacture are resistant to water, including retention of structural integrity, print and brightness upon prolonged exposure to water and/or air.
