This method requires a reactive vehicle (epoxidized drying-oil-modified acrylates) and a light-sensitive catalyst (photosensitizer). Upon exposure to ultraviolet light, the light-sensitive catalyst stimulates the reactive vehicle to undergo a rapid increase in molecular size (polymerization), resulting in a cured, hard film. 6, record 1, English, - ultraviolet%20curing
