Claims
- 1. A method for applying a protective coating to a substrate, comprising:(a) applying a coatable acrylated latex primer composition to the substrate; (b) drying the primer composition to form an acrylated polymer primer coat over the substrate; (c) applying a radiation curable coatable composition to the primer coat before curing the primer coat; and (d) hardening the radiation curable coatable composition by exposing the composition to ultraviolet radiation to form a protective coating over the substrate.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the substrate comprises a floor.
- 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the floor comprises vinyl tile.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the radiation curable coatable composition comprises an isocyanurate monomer.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the radiation curable coatable composition comprises a polymerizable monomer selected from the group consisting of an acrylated monomer, an N-vinyl monomer, a vinyl ether, and a styrenic monomer.
- 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the polymerizable monomer is an acrylated monomer.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the radiation curable coatable composition further comprises a photoinitiator.
- 8. A stripper for a cured coating comprising water, benzyl alcohol, n-octylamine, glycolic acid, and a surfactant.
- 9. The stripper of claim 8, further comprising a dye.
- 10. The stripper of claim 8, further comprising a thickening agent.
- 11. The stripper of claim 8, further comprising a fragrance.
- 12. The stripper of claim 8, wherein the stripper has a neutral pH.
- 13. A method of stripping a cured coating on a substrate comprising:(a) applying the a stripper composition of claim 8 to the cured coating; (b) waiting for a period of time sufficient to loosen the cured coating; and (c) removing the cured coating.
- 14. The method of claim 13, wherein the cured coating is a cured acrylate coating.
- 15. A primer composition comprising an acrylated latex, water, a leveling aid comprising an ammonium salt of a styrene maleic anhydride copolymer, and a surfactant.
- 16. The primer of claim 15, wherein the primer has a solids content between about 2 and about 40% by weight.
- 17. The primer of claim 16, wherein the primer has a solids content between about 2 and about 20% by weight.
- 18. The primer of claim 17, wherein the primer has a solids content between about 4 and about 15% by weight.
