Abstract: A multi-layer coating that transmits and reflects light can include a first coating layer and a second coating layer applied over the first coating layer. The first coating layer is prepared from a coating composition that includes a film forming resin, crosslinked organic particles, and inorganic pigment particles. The crosslinked organic particles and the inorganic pigment particles each have a refractive index that is different from the refractive index of the film forming resin. The second coating layer is prepared from a coating composition that includes a film forming resin and reflective and/or translucent particles.

Abstract: Provided is a low VOC water-borne UV curable single-layer coating composition, comprising a carbonate-based polyurethane resin and a nonionic HDI type polyurethane-acrylate resin. Also provided are a method of applying the coating composition, and the substrate coated therewith.

Abstract: Provided is an anti-dazzling UV curable coating composition comprising a high-functionality polyurethane acrylate oligomer and an active monomer. Further provided are a method for coating a substrate with the anti-dazzling UV curable coating composition and the substrate coated therewith.

Abstract: A high-hardness anti-steel wool UV curable coating composition comprises a high-functionality UV curable polyurethane acrylate. A method of coating a substrate with the high-hardness anti-steel UV curable coating composition and the substrate coated with the same are also provided.

Abstract: A multi-layer coating system comprises a first and a second ultraviolet curable coating composition.
