How Can You Formulate Sustainable Flooring Coatings Based on Two-component (2K) Polyurethanes and Polyureas?

Polyisocyanates are widely used as building blocks together with polyols to form polyurethanes (PU). These materials are used in a variety of applications due to their excellent durability, and mechanical properties.

However, traditional PU systems are solvent-borne and there is an increasing interest to reduce the amount of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) in these systems to improve their sustainability.

This presentation will look at two possible solutions to this challenge: solvent free systems based on polyurea technology and water-borne PU systems, and will show how diisocyanate crosslinkers from Vencorex can be used to help formulate such systems for floor coatings.
