Polyurethane topcoats are commonly used in the construction industry over functional floor coatings or as sealers for concrete. In response to the need for ambient temperature curing coatings with low solvent emission levels, our two-component waterborne polyurethane coatings have been well developed with properties similar to those of two-component solventborne polyurethane coatings. For many years, solventborne polyurethane topcoats have been the standard for flooring due to their very good properties and ease of application. However, tighter VOC regulations and increasing sensitivity to solvent odors make it undesirable to apply solventborne topcoats.
Our new generation of waterborne polyurethane topcoat resins has been developed to be high performance, near zero VOC and easy to use. In addition, the performance properties such as hardness, abrasion resistance, gloss, and chemical resistance are equal to those of traditional two-component solventborne systems.
The key benefits of our two-component waterborne (2K WB) systems are that they are odorless, abrasion resistant, chemical resistant and hot tire resistant. They can be formulated with varying degrees of gloss with ultra-low VOC levels. The 2K WB flooring coatings can be used in a variety of applications
- Pigmented basecoat with a clear topcoat
- Clear sealer over concrete
- Clear chemical resistant topcoat over decorative
