The present invention provides an energy ray-curable coating material for three-dimensional shaped articles that provides excellent toughness in the cured product, and an energy ray-curable material kit for three-dimensional shaping including the coating material. The present invention relates to an energy ray-curable coating material (A) for three-dimensional shaped articles, comprising a polymerizable compound and a polymerization initiator (c), the polymerizable compound comprising a monofunctional polymerizable compound (a), and/or a polyfunctional polymerizable compound (b) having two or more polymerizable groups per molecule, the polyfunctional polymerizable compound (b) having a Mw/n of 120 or more, where Mw is a molecular weight of the polyfunctional polymerizable compound (b), and n is the number of polymerizable groups per molecule.

The invention relates to a hardenable multi-part acrylic composition. The composition has at least two parts which react with each other upon being mixed together to progressively harden to form a solid cement, such as a bone cement. The beads in the first part comprise an acrylic bead polymer core produced by suspension polymerisation and having a Tg of >70° C. and emulsion polymerised acrylic microparticles at least partially coating the surface of the acrylic bead polymer core. The microparticles may form a porous coalesced network. The bone cement composition comprises the first part and a liquid second part and optionally, further parts. The parts are operable to form a cement which hardens to a solid mass upon mixing of the parts together. The composition further comprises an acrylic monomer component in the second part and an initiator component. A method of production of coated beads for the hardenable multipart composition and a solid cement is also described.
