A photosensitive resin composition that excels in sensitivity to actinic
energy rays (photosensitivity), is hardenable within a short period of
time and can form pattern through development with a diluted aqueous
alkali solution and that gives a cured film through thermal curing in the
postcuring step, the cured film having satisfactory flexibility and being
suitable to a solder mask ink of high insulation excelling in adherence
and resistances of gold plating, electroless gold plating and tin
plating; and a curing product thereof. In particular, a photosensitive
resin composition characterized by comprising (1) a urethane resin (A)
soluble in aqueous alkali solutions, the urethane resin obtained by
urethanizing in the absence of catalyst a diisocyanate compound (a), a
diol compound having an ethylenically unsaturated group in its molecule
(b) and a diol compound having a carboxyl group in its molecule (c)
optionally together with a diol compound not having any ethylenically
unsaturated group or carboxyl group in its molecule (d) and reacting the
reaction product with a cyclic acid anhydride (e); (2)
photopolymerization initiator (B); and (3) a reactive crosslinking agent
(C).
