Photocuring of formulations containing polyurethane and unsaturated polyester acrylate oligomers and a flame‐retarding (FR) monomer, that is, pentabromo benzylacrylate, with various α‐cleavage–type photoinitiators were studied. The effects of each photoinitiator on photocuring efficiency in both the presence and the absence of the FR monomer were examined. The flame retardancy and both physical and mechanical properties of the cured films were also investigated. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 83: 1181–1189, 2002
