Abstract

A coating system comprised of a resin component, a hardening component and additives. The resin component contains (meth)acrylic double bonds and at least two reactive hydroxyl groups, and the hardening component is comprised of a multifunctional, at least bifunctional isocyanate. The proportions of resin and hardening component in the coating system are stoichiometric. The coating system is suitable for producing laminated sheets with a surface layer of progressively hardening polyurethane acrylate. During a first hardening stage, the free hydroxyl groups of the resin component cross-link with the isocyanate groups of the hardening component, forming a urethane acrylate prepolymer which contains (meth)acrylic double bonds. In the second hardening state, the (meth)acrylic double bonds continue to cross-link, forming the urethane acrylic polymer coating of the sheet surface. The progressive cross-linking reaction may be controlled by altering the reaction parameters, such as pressure, temperature, choice of additives and chemical constitution of the hardening component.
