Waterborne Polyurethane for Glossy Floor Coatings

Waterborne Polyurethane was such difficult term for me when I wasn’t aware about this term. But now when I am familiar with it, it seems exciting. Even Polyurethane dispersion too can be understood easily when you are aware this term.
 
The term Polyurethane coatings are widely used as topcoats for the protection of wind turbine towers and blades. Moreover, the Polyurethane chemistry can be manipulated to provide low temperature and in curing characteristics too it can be used. Polyurethane includes benefits such as it works well with thick film applications, retains good workability of the sealant and has more beneficial points along with it.

When the above mentioned characteristics are provided they make the tower sections shipped within a few hours and at that only meantime long term coating performance requirements are provided which is able to meet International standard globally. The chemistry is highly versatile, with aromatic and aliphatic types offering the formulator a range of properties to meet differing performance requirements.

These Polyurethane dispersions are designed to facilitate the formulation of high performance coatings, adhesives and inks. They work well with waterborne polyurethane and in dispersion method too they are compatible.  It reacts fully and therefore can be formulated into low VOC coatings with low toxicity ratings which is helpful in giving your floor a new glossy look.
