The present invention relates to a polymerizable coating composition
suitable for the manufacture of printing plates, which may be developable
on-press. The coating composition comprises (i) a polymerizable compound
and (ii) a polymeric binder comprising polyethylene oxide segments,
wherein the polymeric binder is selected from the group consisting of at
least one graft copolymer comprising a main chain polymer and
polyethylene oxide side chains, a block copolymer having at least one
polyethylene oxide block and at least one non-polyethylene oxide block,
and a combination thereof. The invention is also directed to an imageable
element comprising a substrate and the polymerizable coating composition.
