| abstract |
The present invention provides for a sealer/primer that is generally a 100% solids, sprayable, free-radical cured composition. The primer utilizes free-radical cure technology by cross-linking acrylate monomers and oligomers with thermally generated free radicals from peroxide(s). The composition can be applied through traditional application equipment, seals the surface of the substrate to which it is applied, and cures to an acceptable surface for further processing, such as painting. There is no need to employ UV light or electron beam (EB) to cure the coating composition upon application to a substrate, but rather, the coating composition can be cured through me use of heat sources. |
