Abstract:

A liquid, radiation-curable coating suitable for coating thermoplastic substrates is described. The coating composition can be formulated to achieve very low gloss at both high and low angles of incidence, and is suitable for application to moldable thermoplastic sheet, and in particular is suitable for application to thermoplastic olefin moldable sheet. Such coatings are useful in protecting thermoplastic substrates and achieving a low-gloss surface in a wide variety of applications including automotive interior parts, furniture, and artificial leather articles.
