All you need to know about the transistion from solvent-based to water-based coatings. /downloads/ec_tech_report Wood coatings with outstanding chemical resistance properties are usually formulated using two pack urethane technology. Such coatings are often still solvent-borne, even though water-borne two pack systems have been around for a while [1]. The high crosslink density in two pack systems results in hard coatings with excellent resistance against aggressive or staining chemicals. Because of increased environmental awareness, there is a demand for water-borne coatings with identical chemical resistance properties. These should preferably be one-component systems. Waterborne ...
