UV/EB CURABLE BIOBASED COATING FOR FLOORING APPLICATION
A coating composition and a floor product are disclosed. The coating composition has a biobased component that includes urethane acrylate, vinyl ether, or polyester acrylate. The coating composition includes at least about 5% by weight of renewable and/or biobased component. The coating composition is radiation curable, formed by acrylating a biobased polyol acrylate, and reacting the biobased polyol acrylate with polyisocyanate to form a biobased resin. The floor product includes a cellulosic substrate and a biobased coating applied to the cellulosic substrate.
