Abstract

This invention relates to a durable layer for in-mold decoration. The durable layer is formed from a composition comprising (i) a thermally crosslinkable and photochemically or radically graftable polymer, (ii) a non-ethylenical thermal crosslinker, and (iii) a radiation curable multifunctional monomer or oligomer. The durable layer of the present invention has excellent surface quality with a wider geometric tolerance and can be formed at low cost.
