✦ Synopsis

Different formulations were developed with EB-600 (Ebcryl-600), an epoxy acrylate oligomer in the presence of N-vinylpyrrolidone and trimethylol propane triacrylate. Thin films were prepared with these formulated solutions under ultraviolet (UV) radiation. These solutions were coated on a low-grade wood substrate (simul) and cured under UV light. Both UV-cured thin films and surface coatings were characterized, and the best formulations for coating wood surface were evaluated.
