Abstract Twelve different formulations were developed with aliphatic backbone-based urethane acrylate oligomer (Ebecry-264) in combination with a number of monomers like N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP), tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA), plasticizer, diallyl phthalate (DP), and antibubling agent methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), along with a photoinitiator Irgacure 184. Some additives and coadditives, such as calcium carbonate, urea, copper, and acrylamide, were incorporated into these formulations to study their effects on the physical and mechanical properties of pendulum hardness, gel content, and tensile strength and elongation at break of the films produced under UV radiation with these formulated solutions. These formulations were applied on jute fabrics (Hessian cloth) and cured under UV radiation. The improvement of various physicomechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and water resistivity of the treated jute fabrics was determined. The best formulation was evaluated.
