Peplacement for DCG , UV curable monomer, crosslinker, free radical generator

[Mustafa Umut Sarac]

Monomer : Methyl methacrylate or better (more hydrophobic) is butyl methacrylate (NB. Not tert-butyl methacrylate)
Crosslinker: Ethylene dimethacrylate (alternative silly name by Sigma Aldrich is ethylene glycol dimethacrylate).
UV sensitizer (free radical generator in UV.): DMPA or dimethoxyphenyl acetophenone.
One can use about 1 part DMPA to 100 parts monomer to 5-10 parts crosslinker.

I found that subject at wikipedia to seal holograms and I found may be it is useful to replace DCG for collotype or carbon or gravure.

The article describes a sealer to prevent holograms created with dichromated gelatin from absorbing moisture. Carbon tissue and collotype plates have the opposite requirement -- they must absorb water. Finished carbon prints and collotypes don't need to be sealed, either. Why do you think this is useful for those processes?
