Radiation curable compositions containing outstanding reactive diluents have been developed. The diluents are lower alkyl ether acrylates and methacrylates of particular alkoxylated and non-alkoxylated polyols. Examples are mono-methoxy trimethylolpropane diacrylate, mono-methoxy neopentyl glycol monoacrylate and mono-methoxy, ethoxylated neopentyl glycol monoacrylate having an average of about two moles of ethylene oxide.

Radiation hardenable compositions containing low viscosity diluents

Radiation-hardenable diluents

Radiation curable diluents have been developed which are acrylic acid esters of alkoxylated 1,6-hexanediol, neopentyl glycol and tripropylene glycol, each having a relatively low degree of alkoxylation. Examples are diacrylates of adducts of neopentyl glycol with two moles, four moles and six moles, respectively, of ethylene oxide and with two moles and four moles, respectively, of propylene oxide.
