Benefits of using PU Paint finish A polyurethane coating is a layer of polyurethane (a type of polymer) that is applied to a material's surface in order to protect it. A polyurethane coating can protect the base material from corrosion, weathering, abrasion and other processes that would degrade the material over time. A polyurethane coating can be glossy or muted, and can be opaque or transparent. Polyurethanes have excellent chemical resistance. They are hard, tough finishes. They can either be polyurethane lacquers, oil-modified Polyurethanes or two-component polyurethane systems. P.U. is a two-component acrylic polyurethane finish paint with good gloss and Color retention. It has good resistance to water, impact, abrasion and industrial corrosive environment. Advantages of PU Paint: • • • • •
Polyurethane is a plastic-based resin, and it's available in satin, semi-gloss and high-gloss finishes. The most valuable feature of polyurethane paints, apart from a flawless, glossy finish, is resistance to water and chemicals, including gasoline. It can be applied to most types of plastic, fiberglass, wood, metal and fabrics. It is high in solids, making it slow to dry, but creating a thick, durable film. Thin film - Conventional or airless spray.
Polyurethane paint provides a hard, durable gloss for applied to almost any surface. There are several types of polyurethane paints, and several ways to apply them. Benefits of using PU Paints 1. Protection PU finishes combined with epoxy primers essentially create a smooth protective barrier on the surface they are applied. Polyurethane finishes also protect against chemicals that can harm concrete and steel as well. Because of this benefits polyurethane finish is used so widely within the construction industry. 2. Versatility It can be used on structural steel, non-ferrous metals, engineered foam systems, engineered plastic systems, and more. The versatility of polyurethanes is one of the reasons why it is one of the most widely used coating materials in all manner of construction including sealants, adhesives and coatings. 3. Safety and Application It is important that when polyurethanes are being spray applied that the applicator and those in the immediate area, wear appropriate personal safety equipment. Polyurethane finishes should be applied by experienced applicators who have the knowledge, skills and proper equipment to successfully and safely apply polyurethane finishes.
