The development of sustainable, low emissions, high performance wood coating technologies continues to be of urgent interest to the coatings industry. Sustainable content in these coatings contributes to an improved environmental footprint, while low emitting technologies improve the indoor air quality and thereby, the health and well-being of building and home occupants desiring to re-occupy these structures as soon as possible after installation. Resinate Materials Group has developed biorenewable polyols that utilize low VOC (<150 g/liter) technology to yield 2K polyurethane wood coatings that have excellent stain and chemical resistance, excellent adhesion to both bare and prefinished wood, good abrasion resistance, low odor and excellent gloss. The new coating properties may be readily tailored to meet the individual needs of different wood coatings by simply adjusting the isocyanate index and/or isocyanate type. Progress on converting these new coating polyols into waterborne systems will also be reviewed.
