Different formulations were developed with EB‐600 (Ebcryl‐600), an epoxy acrylate oligomer in the presence of N ‐vinylpyrrolidone and trimethylol propane triacrylate. Thin films were prepared with these formulated solutions under ultraviolet (UV) radiation. These solutions were coated on a low‐grade wood substrate (simul) and cured under UV light. Both UV‐cured thin films and surface coatings were characterized, and the best formulations for coating wood surface were evaluated. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 66: 1997–2004, 1997
