Self-healing polyurethane systems for wood coatings
Daily tear and wear can quickly tarnish a piece of valuable furniture. Wood coatings based on our 2K waterbased dispersions are "self-healing", meaning that abrasive forces that normally cause small scratches would merely have a deforming effect on the polyurethane coating. The shape memory effect causes the polymers to flow back to their original shape, the deformation disappears and there are no scratches on the surface. This effect is greatly enhanced at temperatures of 50-60° C.
