Abstract

The invention provides a radiation-curable liquid resin useful as a secondary coating of lightwave guides. The resin is a reaction product of (meth)acrylic acid or glyceroldi(meth)acrylate or pentaerythritoltri(meth)acrylate with a 2:1 addition compound of a diepoxide and an .alpha.,.omega. -diol with a mean molecular weight between 600 and 3000, or, a reaction product of (meth)acrylic acid or -acid chloride or isocyanatoalkyl-(meth)acrylate with a conversion product of the 2:1 addition compound and a low-molecular monovalent alcohol C.sub.1 to C.sub.10), a low-molecular bivalent alcohol (C.sub.2 to C.sub.4) or water, where the diepoxide is an aromatic diglycidylether and the .alpha.,.omega. -diol is an .alpha.,.omega.-hydroxy-terminated polyoxyalkylene, an .alpha.,.omega. -hydroxy-terminated polyester, an .alpha.,.omega. -hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene or an .alpha.,.omega. -hydroxy-terminated organo-functional polysiloxane.
