New renewable-based polyol for aliphatic PU systems

Application areas are interior and exterior light-stable coatings for such products as decorative floors, where good mechanical and chemical resistance is required (flooring of offices and shopping centres, stone carpets, etc.). But not only floor coatings applications are being served by this grade: because of its good workability and adhesion properties Albodur 955 VP has distinct advantages over two-component spray aliphatic systems used for metal protection applications (both for primed substrates, as well as direct-to-metal) or GRP (fibreglass reinforced plastic) substrates, says Alberdingk Boley.

The goal set during the development of Albodur 955 VP was to combine good processing properties, high cured hardness and reduced OH content making possible a cost-optimised aliphatic polyurethane system.

According to the company, like all binders in the Albodur product line, the new product is also based on renewable resources and is characterised by its good hydrophobic properties. Albodur 955 VP can be cosslinked with all major aliphatic polyisocyanates (HDI, HDI/IPDI-Mix).
