The present invention provides a crosslinker for organic coatings having
an amino resin core with substituents including more than one olefin
functional group, a silicon-containing group, and at least one
alkoxyalkyl or alkylol group. Coating compositions containing the
crosslinker can be cured with radiation, especially ultraviolet
radiation. The crosslinker can be included in a coating composition with
one or more curable resins, applied onto a substrate and cured to form
the cured coating of the invention.
