The present invention discloses a photocurable composition that is
combinable with a thermally curable clearcoat composition to form a dual
curable composition that is useful for forming clearcoats with improved
sag resistance. The photocurable composition of the invention includes at
least one photocurable oligomer; a first photoinitiator that absorbs
light in a first spectral region such that curing of the photocurable
composition preferentially occurs near the surface of the of the coating;
and a second photoinitiator that absorbs light in a second spectral
region such that curing of the photocurable composition occurs throughout
the coating. The present invention also provides a method of coating a
substrate with a dual curable composition.
