Abstract
A radiation-curable coating composition is described which comprises: (A) from about 60% to about 99% by weight of at least one polyfunctional acrylate monomer containing at least one internal flexible unit; (B) from about 1% to about 30% by weight of at least one other reactive vinyl or unsaturated monomer provided the reactive monomer is not the same as the monomer of (A) or (C); (C) from 0.01% to about 10% by weight of at least one organopolysiloxane containing one or more groups which are reactive toward free radical polymerization; and (D) from about 0% to about 10% by weight of at least one photoinitiator. In a preferred embodiment, the reactive vinyl monomer (B) is selected from the group consisting of vinyl ethers, mono- or polyfunctional acrylate monomers or oligomers, and mixtures thereof. A method of coating a substrate utilizing the radiation-curable release coating compositions of the present invention, and a substrate coated in accordance with the method of the invention are also described.
