Abstract

An active energy ray-curable composition that is of a forced emulsification type, has a high non-volatile content, has excellent storage stability at room temperature and high temperature, and has excellent freeze-thaw stability, in which a coating film to be coated on a substrate has excellent adhesiveness and water resistance; an aqueous emulsion composition; a laminate; and a coating agent composition are provided. In an active energy ray-curable composition containing two or more kinds of surfactants, at least one kind of the surfactants is a surfactant (B1) having two or more reactive groups. Further, the active energy ray-curable composition is used in an aqueous emulsion composition or a coating agent composition.
