“We are excited to bring these high-quality waterborne and polyurethane coatings to wood finishers in our region," says Cate Donovan, VP of Sales for ML Campbell.
Designed for protection in clear wood finishes, the new product is a TEA-free, low-VOC, 50% solids, self-crosslinking waterborne polyurethane dispersion that delivers high abrasion, chemical, and black heel mark resistance.
The new range provides a complete spectrum of sheens, from high gloss to dead flat, and draws inspiration from the rich heritage and craftsmanship of trusted, Italian-inspired formulations.
Two-component aliphatic polyurea coating systems offer fast return to service and high film builds, and their use is on the rise. This article studies the network structure of these coatings to improve their properties.
Innovators can compete for this award honoring new products or technologies brought to market. The award is presented by the American Chemistry Council’s (ACC) Center for the Polyurethanes Industry (CPI).
In a report released by ResearchandMarkets, the PU coatings market was valued at $18.26 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 5.21% through 2028.
This article reviews several reasons for the excellent physical properties of polyurethanes and polyureas, as well as how these reasons differ between the two chemistries. Included, also, is a technology review and benefit/drawback analysis of several of the sub-coating classes, including conventional thin-film coatings as well as 100% solids, thick-film coatings.
Cast elastomers based on PDO-sebacate polyol exhibit an excellent combination of tensile properties, abrasion resistance, thermal, hydrolytic, and solvent resistance, as well as adhesion to metal substrates. These are desirable properties for cast elastomers intended for applications as protective coatings for pipes, and coatings for sieves typically used in drilling and mining applications.
The ISCC PLUS-certified products manufactured at Stahl’s Waalwijk and Leinfelden locations include selected polyurethane coatings for flexible materials such as textiles, film and paper. The polyurethanes are made with between 20% and 70% renewable attributed biomass and recycled content.
