Claims
- 1. A method for curing a composition comprising:
- I. an acrylated epoxidized soybean oil amine compound having in the molecule the group: ##STR10## wherein X in hydrogen or methyl and R' taken singly is alkyl of 1 to 15 carbon atoms or aryl having up to 15 carbon atoms and the two R' groups taken together with the nitrogen atom attached thereto form a heterocyclic ring having from 5 to 6 ring atoms, said compound being the reaction product of:
- A. epoxidized soybean oil reacted with at least 2 moles of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid per mole thereof and
- B. from 5 to 40 mole percent, based on acrylyl groups of an organic amine of the formula R'.sub.2 NH wherein R' is as defined above, and
- Ii. an acrylyl compound, said method comprising exposing said composition to ionizing radiation, non-ionizing radiation, ultraviolet light radiation or high intensity predominantly continuum light radiation for a period of time sufficient to cure said compound to a tack-free state.
- 2. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein said acrylyl compound (II) is present at a concentration up to about 90 weight percent thereof and is acrylonitrile or of the formula: ##STR11## wherein Z is hydrogen or methyl;
- t is an integer having a value of 1 to 3; and
- R'" is alkoxy of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkoxy of up to 15 carbon atoms, alkoxyalkoxy of up to 15 carbon atoms, cyanoalkoxy of up to 15 carbon atoms, aryloxy, or --(OC.sub.n H.sub.2n).sub.z NR"" wherein n has a value of 1 to 10, z has a value of 0 or 1 and R"" is alkyl of 1 to 10 carbon atoms when t is one or a polyvalent alkylene or oxyalkylene having 2 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkylene moiety thereof when t is other than one.
- 3. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein (A) is the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil with acrylic acid.
- 4. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein (A) is the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil with methacrylic acid.
- 5. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein (B) is diethanolamine.
- 6. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein (B) is morpholine.
- 7. The method claimed in claim 1 wherein a colorant or pigment is additionally present.
