High-performing polyols for waterborne and solvent-borne polyurethane applications
Ingevity has the expertise necessary to help customers create premium coating formulations for the most demanding indoor and outdoor commercial applications. From wind turbines, to metal and plastic automotive parts – coatings formulated with Capa are longer-lasting and built to perform.
2K waterborne and solvent-borne polyurethane coatings are topcoats designed to withstand high levels of wear and tear from outdoor exposure. Adding Capa polyols into 2K formulations can reduce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which increases the high-solid content of the coating. The low viscosity and good compatibility of Capa polyols can also improve flow and leveling of the coating and improve film formation.
Benefits include:
Processing advantages
