Various embodiments of radiation curable coating compositions are provided. In one embodiment, a radiation curable coating composition includes a (meth)acrylate functional compound and an adhesion promoting (meth)acrylate compound. The radiation curable coating composition can also include a (meth)acrylate functional compound, a poly(meth)acrylate and a reactive diluent. The (meth)acrylate functional compound can be made from the reaction of a multifunctional isocyanate, a polyol and a hydroxyl functional (meth)acrylate in the presence of a catalyst.

Radiation curable coating compositions for metal

The present invention includes coating compositions and methods for coating substrates using the coating compositions. In some embodiments of the invention, a coating composition is prepared by a method including the steps of a) preparing a latex emulsion by a method including mixing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in a carrier to form a monomer emulsion, and reacting the monomer emulsion with an initiator to form the latex emulsion, b) preparing a hydroxyl functional oil graft copolymer by a method including reacting an epoxidized vegetable oil with a hydroxyl functional material in the presence of an acid catalyst to form a hydroxyl functional oil polyol, and reacting the hydroxyl functional oil polyol with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in the presence of an initiator to form the hydroxyl functional oil polyol graft copolymer, and c) blending the latex emulsion and a crosslinker then adding the hydroxyl functional oil graft copolymer to form the coating composition. The coating compositions may exhibit no or minimal blush, no or minimal color pick-up, and commercially acceptable adhesion. Substrates coated with the coating compositions of the invention are also disclosed.

Coating compositions comprising latex emulsions and hydroxyl functional oil polyol graft copolymers

Hydroxyl functional oil polyol acrylic graft copolymers are disclosed which can be used to produce coating compositions and coated surfaces. In some embodiments, the coating compositions are used to coat substrates such as packaging materials and the like for the storage of food and beverages. The hydroxyl functional oil polyol acrylic graft copolymers can be prepared by heating an epoxidized vegetable oil and a hydroxyl functional material in the presence of an acid catalyst to form a hydroxyl functional oil polyol, and reacting the hydroxyl functional oil polyol with a mixture of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in the presence of an initiator to form the hydroxyl functional oil polyol acrylic graft copolymer. Coating compositions can be prepared by crosslinking the hydroxyl functional oil polyol acrylic graft copolymers with a crosslinker.
