Abstract
The present invention relates to radiation-curable compositions that after cure provide reduced discoloration, or reduced color degradation, and/or high elongation while maintaining other desirable qualities of radiation-cured compositions. These radiation-curable compositions include at least one radiation-curable oligomer and at least one transesterified and/or high-purity monomer. These compositions can be formulated, for example, to serve as protective coatings for substrates manufactured from a wide variety of including glass, plastic, ceramic, metal and wood. The compositions of the present invention are preferably designed for use as an optical fiber coating (including inner primary and, colored or uncolored, outer primary coatings as well as other coatings which include inks, matrix materials and the like) or related optical fiber protective materials.
