Challenge

Often used for outdoor applications or flooring, wood coatings are frequently exposed to harsh environments such as high temperatures, UV, extreme weather, scratch and abrasion. To protect the wood without compromising on flexibility, innovative building blocks enable now the Polyurethane to offer the best resistance.

Solution

Eternacoll® are specially developed Polycarbonate Diols for the formulation polyurethane-based wood coating. Developed by UBE, it brings 3 significant advantages to wood coatings:

• Best-in-class durability thanks to enhanced chemical, stain, hydrolysis & scratch resistance;
• Excellent weatherability (hydrolysis, heat & UV resistance);
• Tunable balance between hardness and softness.

Best In Class Durability

UBE Eternacoll® Polycarbonate Diols enable to formulate coatings that better resist to scratches and better retain their original properties in case of chemical and hydrolytic aggression, for a superior durability.
Twice more resistant to chemicals and hydrolysis than polyether and polyester polyol countertypes.

Excellent weatherability

Eternacoll® Polycarbonate Diols bring improved heat, UV & moisture resistance to Polyurethane, making it suitable for outdoor applications.
70% less yellowing than polyether and polyester polyol countertypes.

Balance between softness & hardness

To avoid cracks and damages, wood coatings still have to remain flexible. Eternacoll® Polycarbonate Diols bring a tunable hardness of the polyurethane coating.
Formulated films can meet your hardness specifications.

Eternacoll® Polycarbonate Diols offer 3 Key Benefits:

• Best-in-class durability
• Excellent weatherability
• Tunable balance between softness and hardness
