Polyurethane Dispersions Market: Overview

Polyurethane is a polymer that contains urethane links connecting organic units of polymers. Polyurethanes are formed by reaction between di-isocyanate or polyiscyanate and polyol. Polyurethanes products have a wide range of applications adhesives & sealants, insulation, construction, coatings etc. Owing to different properties polyurethane products are divided into different types of thermosetting polymers and thermoplastic polymers. Polyurethane dispersion is a two-component technology that involves dispersion of polyurethanes into different liquefying agents. Polyurethane dispersion can be further classified as solvent based dispersion and water-based dispersion.

On account of properties such as low density, flexibility, durability, resistance to abrasion & fatigue, strength polyurethane dispersion has numerous applications. A major section of polyurethane dispersion is used in coatings in many industries like textile, automobile, construction, leather industries, aerospace, furniture etc. Polyurethanes are characterized with flexibility, durability, resistance to abrasion & fatigue, strength, hence are majorly used in coating applications. Water based dispersion is environment-friendly and can be used in many industries. Coatings and paint industries are the major application segments of polyurethane dispersion. Binders in industrial coatings, concrete sealers, insulation coating, paper coating, textile finishing etc. are the other coating applications of polyurethane dispersion.

Polyurethane Dispersions Market: Outlook

Polyurethane dispersion is a kind of polyurethane polymer resin that can be easily dispersed in water. It is an anionic dispersion having high molecular weight. These dispersions are created through reaction of diisocyanates with polyols. Moreover, polyurethane dispersions abbreviated as PUD is a method involving 2-phase system that disperses polyurethanes in water as well as other kinds of liquefying agents. Reportedly, these compounds possess exceptional features such as thermal stability, high proportion of elasticity, aberration resistance, and high tensile strength.

Furthermore, these compounds are utilized in preparing polyurethane coatings and adhesives comprising low volatile organic compounds & exhibiting excellent adhesion & coating features for metal, glass, plastics, wood, rubber, and textiles.
