Usually, the processing technology of the thermoset polymers is characterized by the use of the two component formulations, which generally consist of a polymer resin and a hardener. These two component polymer formulations need to be hardened for almost 12 hours at room temperature [1, 2]. Generally, extra heating at 60-160°C is necessary to facilitate the hardening process [3]. The conventional curing process has several relevant disadvantages. Firstly, as the prerequisite condition for acceptable final properties of the produced material, the following thermal treatment is always desirable as a post-curing process [4]. Secondly, there are difficulties with producing large monolith constructions and coating large surfaces that can be sensitive to heating and/or when heating is even impossible [5]. For example, the repair service protective coatings applications for ships in the maritime industry, and for power generators in the energy generation sector [6]. The market of ultraviolet (UV) curable polymers is growing very rapidly, especially in the last decades [7]. This market is anticipated to grow by 7.0% from 2013 to 2019 and is expected to reach USD 7.930
