ABSTRACT:
Radiation-curable coating compositions adapted for application to buffer-coated optical fibers are disclosed. These are intended to apply an adherent topcoat having greater toughness and greater hardness than the buffer coating. The new compositions comprise: (1) from 25% to 70% of diethylenic-terminated polyurethane, which may include urea linkages, the polyurethane being based on a diisocyanate having an average molecular weight of from 400 to 5000; (2) from 5% to 40% of a diethylenically unsaturated ester of a diglycidyl ether of a bisphenol, said ether having a molecular weight up to about 1000; and (3) from 5% to 30% of liquid radiation-curable monoethylenically unsaturated monomer having a T.sub.g above about 55.degree. C., especially N-vinyl pyrrolidone. Ultraviolet cures using acrylates as the ethylenic group are preferred.
