Polyurethane (PU) wood coatings are high-quality coating systems specifically designed to protect wood surfaces while preserving their natural beauty. These coatings consist of polyurethane resins that form an exceptionally durable and long-lasting protective layer through chemical crosslinking. They are used in a wide range of applications, including furniture, parquet flooring, kitchen surfaces, doors, and even musical instruments.

What makes polyurethane coatings special is their outstanding resistance to abrasion, chemicals, moisture, and UV radiation. They not only provide a hard and scratch-resistant surface but also offer excellent clarity and depth of color, enhancing the natural wood grain. PU coatings are available in various gloss levels – from matte to high gloss – and provide excellent chemical resistance against cleaning agents, alcohol, and other substances.

Compared to other coating systems, such as water-based lacquers or alkyd resin systems, PU coatings stand out due to their superior durability, scratch resistance, and non-yellowing properties. Thanks to their high resilience and aesthetic qualities, they are the preferred choice for demanding wood surfaces that require both protection and an elegant appearance.

Floor coatings are essential for enhancing the durability and protection of concrete surfaces, making them suitable for a variety of applications in industrial and commercial settings, such warehouses and parking decks.

The floor coating increases the life of the concrete by protecting it from wear, harsh chemicals, stains, and mechanical stress. Combined with their decorative appearance, the coatings provide superior performance and durability for many years, making them the ideal choice for long-lived products

Evonik Crosslinkers offer a variety of products for floor coatings, including technology solutions for epoxy, polyaspartic, and polyurethane based flooring formulations and construction adhesives and sealants. 

Polyurethane (PU) protective powder coatings are high-performance coatings designed to provide exceptional durability, weather resistance, and aesthetic appeal. They are widely used in industries requiring long-lasting protection, such as automotive, architecture, industrial equipment, and outdoor furniture. These coatings are applied to metal surfaces, machinery, railings, fences, and vehicle components, ensuring superior resistance to environmental stressors.

What makes PU powder coatings unique is their excellent balance of flexibility, hardness, and chemical resistance. Unlike traditional polyester or epoxy coatings, PU coatings offer better UV stability, preventing fading and yellowing over time. They also provide enhanced resistance to scratches, chemicals, and impact, making them ideal choice for high perfomance exterior applications. Their ability to maintain a smooth, high-quality finish even under extreme conditions sets them apart from other powder coating options.

Due to the absence of solvents or even water in the process, thicker layers can be applied in one pass and no VOC needs to be evaporated. Also, electrostatic charging in the application ensures extremely low overspray losses compared liquid spray applications. Both effects perfectly combine economic and ecologic advantages likewise. This in combination with high durability, weathering resistance, and aesthetic versatility makes PU powder coatings the preferred choice for industries that demand high-performance protective coatings with a long service life.
