An aqueous-based, UV radiation-curable coating composition containing a latex polymer emulsion and a multifunctional (meth)acrylate, wherein the latex polymer is selected to be greater than about 47 mole % acrylate and to have a glass transition temperature less than about 28°C is described. The selection of composition and glass transition temperature yields a UV-curable coating with superior direct impact properties which are useful for wood coating applications. |
