                     molecular weight of 10000 to 200000,                                                                   
                     and which also includes as necessary ingredients, relative to 100 parts by weight of                   
                     said coating film forming components:                                                                  
                             (e) 2 - 10 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator, and                             
                             (f) 2 - 20 parts by eight of a UV absorber.                                                    
                                            THE REFERENCES OF RECORD
