A method of coating is disclosed which is based on applying a composition which is based on colloidal silica dispersed in a silanol or methacrylic derived polymer system or an aminoplast resin to an article of a polybutylene terepthalate or polyethylene terephthalate, or blends of polybutylene terephthalate and polyethylene terephthalate, which optionally include a polycarbonate, or optionally include a polyether ester or polyetherimide ester and a heavy inorganic filler.

Abrasion resistant highly filled polyester compositions

Organophosphorus compounds capable of being activated with light at from 360 nm to about 410 nm, such as, an acylphosphine oxide, have been found useful as photoinitiators for effecting the cure of various UV curable coating compositions, such as a UV curable organic material in the presence of up to 20% by weight of a UV absorber. UV stabilized thermoplastic composites of films, sheets, or laminates having thickness of up to an inch or more with improved optical clarity also are provided.
