Patent Images
1. An article comprising a support comprising a naphthalate polyester overcoated with a UV resistant coating comprising the polymerized reaction product of a homogenous mixture comprising:
- a) at least one vinyl-functional crosslinkable film former;
b) more than 10 weight percent benzotriazole UV absorber; and
c) at least one copolymerizable monomer that solubilizes the benzotriazole.

Abstract
Naphthalate polyester articles can be coated with polymerizable compositions containing a vinyl-functional crosslinkable film former, a large amount of benzotriazole and a copolymerizable monomer that solubilizes the benzotriazole. The cured compositions help protect the naphthalate polyester from UV exposure and other weathering effects.
