This study aims to quantify the impact of enzymatically produced alpha-1,3 polyglucose of different morphologies on the performance of water-based PUDs.
Hybridur® dispersions offer coatings formulators a cost-effective alternative to standard polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) without sacrificing performance, and also offer enhanced performance over PUDs blends and acrylic emulsions in primer, topcoat, and clear coat applications.
The object of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of different modifications on anti-corrosive performance. Straight PUDs were used to prepare DTM coatings with only small amounts of additives and without the assistance of corrosion inhibitors, passivation fillers or pig-ments.
The introduction of energy-curable polyurethane dispersions (UV PUDs) to complement the traditional radiation curing technology profoundly changed the market landscape by bringing coating performance and sustainability to the next level of requirements.
It is therefore important to evaluate different crosslinkers and understand their benefits and drawbacks in a given system to enable the formulation of a high-performance wood coating.
Lamberti Group, thanks to the acquisition of Supercolori (today Lamberti MicroPolymers) can be considered the only company capable of offering, in addition to a complete range of high-performing water-based PUD resins, a specific and complete range of PUDs, including liquid and dry powder, providing matte effects for metal, wood, flooring , inks and flexible substrates like leather, synthetic leather and textiles.
Developed to be free of solvents, surfactants and tin catalysts, CN9500 and CN9501 are supplied at approximately 40% solids content and are compatible with other water-based coatings.
