A soluble lubricating surface-treated stainless steel sheet with excellent shapability for fuel tanks, comprising a substrate having on both surfaces or one surface thereof a soluble lubricating resin film. Preferably, the soluble lubricating resin film mainly comprises (A) an alkali-soluble polyurethane resin composition containing a carboxyl group or a sulfonic acid group within the molecule and having a glass transition point of 100&deg; C. or more as a dry film and (B) a lubricating function-imparting agent in an amount of from 1 to 30% by mass based on the polyurethane composition.

The invention provides a photocurable resin composition which inhibits the deactivation of a bisacylphosphine oxide-series photopolymerization initiator and is useful for coating optical fibers. The photocurable resin composition comprises (A) a polyurethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, (B) an ethylenically unsaturated compound, (C) a bisacylphosphine oxide-series photopolymerization initiator, and (D) a tertiary amine and no tin component. Incorporation of the component (D) inhibits the decomposition and deactivation of the component (C). The component (A) may contain an aliphatic C.sub.14-40 polyol (hydrogenated dimerdiol, 12-hydroxystearyl alcohol) as a polyol component. This resin composition is used for a primary coating of a glass fiber or an indirect coating of an optical fiber through the primary layer, the coating layer being cured by light irradiation to provide an optical fiber coated with the resin composition.

Photocurable resin composition and a method for producing the same

In the coating composition for a optical fiber of the present invention, a polyurethane (meth)acrylate oligomer (A), which is based on a urethane prepolymer having an equivalent ratio of NCO group in a polyisocyanate (a) to OH group in a polyol (b) of more than 3.0, is used and the oligomer (A) has a mixing weight ratio of an oligomer (d) having a number average molecular weight of 800 or less to an oligomer (e) having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 or more of 30/70-70/30. The coating composition of this invention has a low viscosity, and therefore, is suitable for a rapid fiber-drawing in a production of an optical fiber. Further, a cured material obtained from the coating composition of the present invention has both a high elastic modulus and a high elongation, which properties are required for a hard material, and has a slight change of elastic modulus with a change of temperature to improve a long-term reliability of an optical fiber.

A polyether polyol produced by using an N-amino-ethylpiperazine-ethylene oxide aduct as an initiator and addition-polymerizing an alkylene oxide thereto and having a molecular weight of about 2000 to 7000; a process for producing a flexible urethane foam starting with the above polyether polyol; a process suited for the production of a hot-cure urethane foam which comprises using the above polyether polyol with a hydroxyl value of 40 to 80 mg KOH/g and, as a blowing agent, 4.6 to 6.0 weight parts of water based on 100 weight parts of the polyol; and a process suited for the production of a cold-cure urethane foam which comprises using the above polyether polyol with a hydroxyl value of 23 to 50 mg KOH/g and, as a blowing agent, 2.5 to 5.0 weight parts of water on the same basis. The use of the polyether polyol enables the production of a low-density, low-hardness flexible urethane foam using a small amount of water, without requiring any environment-unfriendly chlorofluorocarbon and without being accompanied by deterioration of humid age compression set and other characteristics.
