Research Summary

Water-based polyurethane dispersions (PUDs) are a type of polyurethane resin dispersed in water. These dispersions are widely used as environmentally friendly alternatives to solvent-based polyurethane systems in various coating and adhesive applications. Water-based PUDs offer several advantages, including low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, reduced flammability, and improved workplace safety compared to solvent-based systems. They are commonly used in the formulation of coatings for wood, metal, plastic, and textile substrates, providing excellent adhesion, durability, and chemical resistance. Water-based PUDs can also be used in the production of adhesives, sealants, and elastomers, offering versatility and performance properties comparable to solvent-based polyurethane systems. Additionally, water-based PUDs are compatible with a wide range of additives and pigments, allowing for formulation flexibility and customization to meet specific application requirements. Overall, water-based polyurethane dispersions are an environmentally friendly and versatile solution for various coating and adhesive applications, offering performance benefits while minimizing environmental impact.
