Polyurethane coatings for metal and plastic substrates

SummaryPolyurethane coatings offer many advantages for metal substrate applications. Polyurethanes have excellent appearance (“wet look”), mechanical performance, UV resistance, and chemical resistance compared with other coatings. Polyurethanes can be applied as higher solids or powder coatings without loss of performance. As a result, polyurethanes are the market leader for coating metallic and plastic substrates in numerous high-end and highly visible applications today. In the future,the performance of urethane coatings will allow them to be used in a broader spectrum of applications.
