Waterborne polyurethane coatings for furniture and joinery with solventlike performance
Waterbased polyurethane dispersions offered by Bayer MaterialScience are used for high-performance furniture and joinery coatings. Coatings based on these raw materials show the same high quality properties of solventborne systems or even exceed them, while at the same time being environmentally friendly and easy to process. Coatings based on polyurethane dispersions show:
High to very high gloss
Outstanding mechanical resistance
Good resistance against virtually every household substance
Good grain wetting (Anfeuerung)
With One- and Two-component polyurethane dispersions of the Bayhydrol® and Bayhydur® range almost any imaginable combination of properties and process requirements are possible.
