FAQ

Q1: Can waterborne polyurethane be stored at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius?

No. Waterborne coatings use water as a solvent. When stored below 0 degrees Celsius, the water in the formulation freezes, causing physical damage to the coating. Freezing may form ice crystals, which disrupt the emulsion structure of the polyurethane, leading to irreversible separation, thickening, or gelation.
Q2: What factors affect the curing speed of polyurethane?

Air temperature, humidity, mixing ratio, coating thickness, air circulation, substrate properties, and atmospheric pressure—all of these factors can affect the curing speed.
Q3: What are the factors that may affect the film-forming quality of moisture-cured one-component polyurethane？

There are several factor affect the drying speed for on-component Substrate profile; Air humidity; Substrate humidity; Coating thickness, etc.
Q4: What are the differences between aliphatic polyurethane and aromatic polyurethane?

The core difference between aliphatic polyurethane and aromatic polyurethane originates from the presence or absence of aromatic groups (such as benzene rings) in their molecular structures. This structural disparity directly leads to significant differences in their properties and application scenarios. The typical raw materials for aliphatic PU are hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), etc. The typical raw materials fo aromatic PU are Toluene diisocyanate (TDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), etc. Due to the absence of benzene rings, the molecular structure exhibits stronger stability against ultraviolet (UV) light, with excellent weather resistance. It is less prone to photo-oxidative degradation, maintaining color stability and resisting yellowing after long-term exposure to outdoor or light environments.
Q5: What are the uses of exposed polyurethane?

Exposed polyurethane is widely used in scenarios requiring long-term outdoor exposure or harsh environments due to its excellent weather resistance, mechanical properties, and environmental adaptability. Below are its typical application areas and technical analysis: Roof waterproofing and refurbishment, outdoor water tank, footbridges, balconies, terraces, roof walkways, parking garages, and other outdoor waterproof projects with pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic.
