A composition which is cured upon exposure to ultraviolet light in the absence of solvent is disclosed. The liquid composition is prepared by combining a liquid maleate polyester and at least one of a vinyl compound and an allyl functional compound. A photoinitiator is then added to the polymerizable liquid composition. A substrate is impregnated with the polymerizable liquid composition and exposed to actinic energy of a sufficient dosage for a sufficient amount of time to polymerize the composition to a sufficient degree to impart useful properties to the substrate. The composition can be used as a binder for fiberglass insulation, in the manufacture of transparent or semi-transparent paper and to manufacture paper for use in photocopy machines.

摘要:
A simplified method for the cathodic electrodeposition of polyamine resin from a dispersion thereof in an aqueous electrocoating bath is provided in which the polyamine is selected to be stably dispersible in water in the form of a salt with a solubilizing acid at a pH of from 6.0-7.5, and this polyamine resin is substantially completely neutralized with carbonic acid and dispersed in water in the form of an amine carbonate or bicarbonate. A unidirectional electrical current is passed through an aqueous electrocoating bath containing the amine carbonate or bicarbonate to deposit the polyamine resin at the cathode and cause the release of carbon dioxide. In preferred practice, a proportion of the amine groups in the polyamine resin within the bath, low enough to maintain the pH of the bath at a pH of about 6.0 or higher, is reacted with a relatively nonvolatile solubilizing acid, and the polyamine resin solids in the electrocoating bath are replenished by adding to bath polyamine resin substantially completely neutralized with carbonic acid.
