Recently, Lubrizol launched a new high-solids polyurethane dispersion Aptalon 8080HS commercially available products.
Its high solids content and the functionality of Lubrizol ’s patented Aptalon polyamide technology provide coating manufacturers with exciting prospects for wood and metal coating products:
Fewer coatings provide equivalent protection: Aptalon 8080HS has a solids content of 50% and can be formulated with higher solids coatings. Paint formulators can now produce new paints with less paint to achieve the required film thickness, thereby increasing efficiency and returning to use faster;
Fast drying: Aptalon 8080HS dries more than five times faster than low solids polyurethane dispersions, so it can be used faster;
Lower VOC usage: Aptalon 8080HS requires less VOC formulations, thereby providing environmental compliance and product labeling advantages.
Renewable materials: Aptalon 8080HS has 35% renewable carbon, which can meet sustainability requirements through performance advantages.
Dan Latas, Lubrizol ’s global marketing manager, said: “The unique combination of Lubrizol ’s Aptalon technology and our ability to manufacture high-solid polyurethane dispersions provides powerful capabilities for advanced coating formulations that protect wood and metal substrates. Aptalon 8080HS is Improving paint brings new opportunities that can add value to the entire paint supply chain, including paint manufacturers, contractors and end users. "
