Disclosed are environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating
compositions which are curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation.
In addition, the disclosed coating compositions are suitable for coating
composite objects and/or objects comprising composite materials, such as,
but not limited to, fiberglass, fire retardant fiberglass, carbon fiber,
fire retardant carbon fiber, Kevlar.RTM., and fire retardant Kevlar.RTM..
In addition, methods are disclosed for coating surfaces, or at least a
portion of the surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain
partially or fully cured coated surfaces. Furthermore, articles of
manufacture incorporating fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed,
including, for example composite architectural panels. Also disclosed are
methods, processes, production lines, articles of manufacture, and
factories which incorporate these environmentally friendly, substantially
all solids coating compositions curable using ultraviolet and visible
radiation.
