A UV-cured coating system is described for application to vinyl-coated fabrics. The system is based on a polyurethane oligomer with acrylate end groups copolymerizing with acrylate monomers and a multi functional acrylate crosslinker. The photosensitizer system is designed for curing by a nitrogen-blanketed UV light source. The UV coating is superior to a conventional topcoat in adhesion to the primed surface of the coated fabric and in resistance to ball point pen ink stains, in addition to the usual advantages and economies of UV curve.
