A polyurethane coating, coating composition and coated substrate wherein the coating is essentially one macromolecule of homogeneous structure wherein the nitrogen atoms of the urethane groups are joined to alicyclic rings and/or straight aliphatic chains and the main polyurethane chains are crosslinked by three types of crosslinkages; via isocyanate residues and triol or tetrol residues, reactive upon curing by exposure to heat; via double bonds in vinyl compounds reactive, upon curing by exposure to radiation, with acrylo groups incorporated as acrylate esters into the polyurethane structures; and via urea groups formed by action of moisture upon isocyanate groups which are unreacted in the heat and radiation curing steps. On an equivalent weight basis, the ratio of all double bond crosslinkages: urethane crosslinkages is between 1.0 and 2.5; the content of urethane groups in the main polyurethane chains is from 40% up to no more than 70% of total equivalents of originally present isocyanate groups; the content of urethane crosslinkages on the same basis is 20-40%, and the content of urea groups on the same basis is about 5 to 25%. One particularly suitable substrate is resilient, foamed, embossed polyvinyl chloride yard goods such as used for floor covering.

Homogeneous, unitary, crosslinked polyurethane coating on a substrate wherein the nitrogen atoms of the polyurethane structures are joined to alicyclic rings or to straight aliphatic chains and the crosslinkages consist essentially of crosslinks between polyurethane structures, via isocyanate residues and triol or tetrol residues forming in combination, urethane group crosslinkages in the polyurethane structures; and crosslinks between polyurethane structures, deriving from double bonds in diacrylates, triacrylates or tetra acrylates and acrylate moieties which esterify alkane or polyether diol, triol or tetrol residues, which residues are linked as urethanes to the polyurethane structures; said coating also having urea groups linking the polyurethane structures; and wherein on an equivalent basis the ratio of double bond crosslinkages:urethane group crosslinkages joining polyurethane structures, formed by triol or tetrol residues, is between 1.0 and 2.5; where the number of equivalents of double bond crosslinkage in the coating is taken as being equal to the number of equivalents of carbon-carbon double bond in the uncured coating composition, and the number of equivalents of urethane crosslinkage in the coating is taken as being equal to the number of equivalents of hydroxyl group provided by the triols and the tetrols in the uncured coating composition; and in said coating the content of urethane groups in the main polyurethane chains amounts on an equivalent weight basis to about 40% up to no more than 70% of the total of urethane groups in the main polymer chains plus urethane crosslinkages plus urea groups present in said coating; the content of urethane group crosslinkages, formed from triol or tetrol residues, amounts to between about 20 and about 40 equivalent weight percent of said total of main chain urethane groups, urethane crosslinkages and urea groups and the content of urea groups in said coating amounts to between about 5 to about 25 equivalent percent of the total of said urethane main chain groups, urethane crosslinkages and urea groups and calculated as weight of unreacted isocyanate groups available for conversion to urea groups, amounts to about 0.5 to about 5 percent by weight of said coating; and in said coating, the vinyl groups other than those of acrylate groups incorporated by urethane links in the polyurethane structures, are combined via double bond linkages with each other and with said acrylate groups incorporated in the polyurethane structures.
