It’s increasingly getting tough for coating and adhesive formulators and end-users. The stringent environmental regulations enforce the formulators to use only low VOC products; coating formulators, on the other hand, are still on the fence as they just have to meet the technical requirements for the coating or adhesive.
Solution, however, surfaced; this time it came in the form of Waterborne Polyurethane, which are high on quality and low in VOCs.
- Here is a list of properties that define modern day polyurethane dispersion range:
- Ultra low solvent content
- Ultra low odor
- low viscosity at high molecular weights
- low temperature drying
- incredible polyurethane performance
- superior adhesion to a wide variety of substrates
Polyurethane dispersions are known to provide superior coating and adhesive properties for use on different substrates such as wood, plastics, and glass. The increasingly regulatory compulsions for the usage of low VOC products have drove the demand for Polyurethane Dispersion across industries; and this demand is going to keep on soaring in the future as well. However, the manufacturers are likely to keep on experimenting for bettering the quality of their products and to come up with more products to meet the growing demands for high quality, environmentally friendly products for coatings and adhesives.
