the invention is a method for manufacturing a surface covering product having a gloss controlled surface wearlayer coating and a curable composition used in that method . the preferred curable composition is a polymerizable coating which includes a di - isocyanate and / or isocyanurate structure , a polyester polyol , a hydroxy and acrylyl functional polyester , mono , di , or tri - functional acrylates , and a flatting agent and / or hard particulates . the preferred surface covering product is a floor covering product produced as a vinyl film that is precoated with preferably a wearlayer coating that is adhered to the vinyl film , and the surface of the film is preferably embossed . a gloss controlled surface coating is achieved by application of the preferred composition to the printed sheet of film , and the composition is then exposed to low intensity ultraviolet light followed by exposure to ionizing radiation from a low accelerating energy electron beam , which forms an abrasion resistant wearlayer with non - visible degradation of the printed film .
