A composition and method that provides a chemically grafted coating onto a substrate. The composition comprises an acrylate and a grafting initiator. The acrylate may be a waterborne urethane acrylate. The composition may also comprise resistance agents, adhesion agents, UV curing photoinitiators, defoaming agent, and/or deglossing agents. The substrate may be any wood or plastic, but works well with heat shrinkable polyolefin tubing. The composition may also be quick curing such that the coating from the composition may be cured under a D bulb and an H bulb at a rate of 100-160 feet/minute. The coating on the substrate resists delamination and wear. The coating may have indicia printed on the coating, the indicia being composed from ink or other printable materials.

Chemical grafting onto a substrate and coating composition

This invention relates to the coating of steel parts with organic polymeric materials for resistance to corrosion, abrasion, impact, salt solutions of high and low pH (both in liquid as well as vapor state) and corrosive atmospheric gases under the environment of high relative humidity and ambient conditions of temperature and pressure. To obtain secure and permanent adhesion of the coating on the steel article a polymeric coating is formulated so as to achieve chemical grafting to the steel face. This involves the use of monomers, prepolymers, catalyst and a graft initiator system. The monomers are preferably polyfunctional and when applied onto a metallic substrate, react via graft polymerization with the metal to form a polymerized layer coated onto the surface of the steel substrate. The monomers and prepolymers are so selected that when polymerized onto steel the coating has substantially zero moisture vapor-gas transmission rate and consequently acts as a barrier to moisture, oxygen and other gases from coming in contact with the surface of the steel substrate thereby improving the protective potential of the coating. Fillers may be included in the coating material to enhance physical or wear characteristics. Other components that can be added are slip agents, wetting agents, thixotropic promoters and adhesion promoters. This coating process is particularly advantageous for use with steel parts used in the manufacture of cranes
