Abstract

Recent developments in coatings technology have resulted in two-component waterborne polyurethane wood coating formulations which offer the benefits of traditional solvent-borne systems; however, these 2K WB/PUR systems offer significant reductions over solvent-borne systems in VOCs and HAPs, meeting stringent environmental regulations. In addition, 2K WB/PUR systems meet specifications for finishes for kitchen cabinets, office, laboratory, and household furniture. This paper looks at the differences between solvent-borne polyurethane systems (2K SOV/PUR) and 2K WB/PUR systems. Also discussed are physical properties, formulation parameters, application techniques, and industrial hygiene issues.
