Described herein are alkoxylated polymers suitable for use in primers, inks or coating compositions. The alkoxylated polymers derive from a polyalkylene glycol polymer or copolymer backbone having one or more alkoxylated sites in a non-reactive form and at least one reactive terminal end, and one or more polyfunctional monomers or oligomers having two or more functional polar groups with an active hydrogen, or mixtures thereof, wherein the alkoxylated polymer is polymerized in a one step process. Primers, inks or coating compositions are further described.
