ESACOTE® PU 61 is a versatile anionic waterborne dispersion of aliphatic polyurethane, based on polycarbonate diols. It serves as a high-quality binder for clear and pigmented coatings, offering a range of valuable features, including good hardness development, high gloss, clarity, mechanical and chemical resistance, and antiscratch protection. This multi-purpose resin can be used on various substrates, such as plastic films, cardboard, metal, and architectural coatings, providing excellent results in applications where toughness and antiscratch properties are required. It can be used alone or in combination with other water-based resins, with the option of enhancing properties through suitable crosslinkers.
