Appellants’ invention relates to a coating composition and a
process of making same. An understanding of the invention can be
derived from a reading of claims 1 and 18, which are reproduced
below.
1. A process for making a water-dispersible, radiation
curable coating composition comprising:
(a) providing from about 10 to about 90% by weight of a
cationic oligomer;
(b) providing from about 10 to about 30% by weight of
an epoxy functional monomer;
(c) providing form about 0.01 to about 30% by weight of
a surfactant component;
(d) providing from about 0.01 to about 10% by weight of
a transfer agent;
(e) providing from about 1 to about 15% by weight of a
photoinitiator, all weights being based on the weight of the
composition; and
(f) mixing (a)-(e) to form the coating composition.
18. The product of the process of claim 1.
