A sec of formulations was developed with epoxy diacrylate in the presence o
f N-vinyl pyrrolidone and tripropylene glycol diacrylate. Thin films prepar
ed with these formulations under UV curing were characterized. Low-density
wood was also coated with these formulations and cured under the same UV so
urce. Various physical parameters of the coated wood substrates were evalua
ted. The best coating formulations were determined including the base coats
.
