The meta tetramethylxylenediisocyanate-based polyether urethane acrylate oligomer reduces the viscosities of polymerizable formulations, as compared to other isocyanate-based oligomers, significantly enhances adhesion to certain substrates, and imparts increased elongation-to-break valves to cured products produced therefrom.

A process for manufacturing a metallized substrate using the island coating method, includes depositing a coating layer containing a radiation curable non-volatile film former. The coated part is then vacuum metallized to form the metal islands of the present invention. A layer of clear resinous protective dielectric topcoat containing a radiation curable non-volatile film former is then deposited to completely cover the layer of metal islands while maintaining the aesthetic properties of the metallizing island coating system at a reduced cost and with minimal variability among parts.
