material the vinyl ether monomer material includes one or more different vinyl ether monomers each monomer having one or more vinyl ether groups examples of suitable vinyl ether monomers include 4 hydroxybutyl vinyl ether 1 4 cyclohexanedimethanol monovinyl ether 1 4 cyclohexanedimethanol divinyl ether ethylene glycol monovinyl ether ethylene glycol divinyl ether diethylene glycol monovinyl ether diethylene glycol divinyl ether triethylene glycol divinyl ether and the like propoxylated and ethoxylated forms of these compounds are also suitable the crosslinkable diluent may include a mixture of meth acrylate allyl ether and vinyl ether monomer materials in addition the crosslinkable diluent can be supplemented by addition of other olefinic monomer materials such monomer materials include functional materials such as vinyl ether maleate monomers and the like some preferred coating compositions of the present invention particularly those with meth acrylate functional groups are curable by uv or visible light these coating compositions typically include a photoinitiator that induces the curing reaction upon exposure to light the photoinitiator typically generates free radicals in response to a particular wavelength range of light to initiate a free radical reaction that crosslinks the acrylate double bonds of the resin and meth acrylate monomer material thereby curing the coating among photoinitiators suitable for use in the present invention with resins having meth acrylate or allyl ether functional groups are u03b1 cleavage type photoinitiators and hydrogen abstraction type photoinitiators the.
