  • Patent number: 7091296
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of acetophenone or benzophenone derivatives of the formula I where R is unsubstituted or substituted C1 to C3 alkyl, C6 to C10 aryl or aralkyl having from 6 to 10 carbon atoms in the aryl moiety and from 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety as copolymerizable photoinitiators. The invention further relates to copolymers containing acetophenone or benzophenone derivatives of the formula I in copolymerized form, to processes for preparing said copolymers, and to the use of said copolymers in UV crosslinkable compositions.

  • Patent number: 5602191
    Abstract: Radiation-curable acrylates are prepared by a process in which the hydroxy compound is reacted with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid in a first stage and, in a second stage, the reaction product of the first stage is reacted with an epoxide compound in the presence of, as a catalyst, a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium compound of the general formula ##STR1## where X.sup.- is an opposite ion and R.sup.1 to R.sup.4 independently of one another are each C.sub.1 -C.sub.18 -alkyl which may be substituted by one or two phenyl groups or are each C.sub.6 -C.sub.12 -aryl which may be substituted by one or two C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl groups.

  • Patent number: 5516860
    Abstract: Radiation-curable acrylates are prepared by a process in which, in a 1st stage, a hydroxy compound is reacted with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid and, in or before a 2nd stage, the reaction product of the 1st stage is then reacted with an epoxy compound and compounds having one or more primary or secondary amino groups are added in the 2nd stage and the reaction in the 2nd stage is continued, after the addition of these compounds, until the acid number of the reaction mixture has decreased by at least 3 mg KOH/g of reaction mixture from the time of the addition of these compounds.
