The polycarbonate diol Duranol W8011 is easily dispersible in water. It improves the chemical as well as scratch resistance and the adhesion, softness and self-healing of coatings.
“Duranol W8011 is a high-quality water dispersible polycarbonate diol which can be used as poylol or additive in a wide range of applications,” stated Olaf Knispel, product manager CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants and Elastomers) at VELOX. It is especially designed for the use in aqueous industrial coatings as well as wood, plastics, glass and furniture coatings.”
Duranol W8011 is a polycarbonate diol developed by Asahi Kasei and is perfectly suitable as speciality additive for water-based 2K acrylate binder systems (2KPU). It improves adhesion on different substrates, especially aluminium and various plastics. It also provides increased scratch resistance (also ‘self-healing’) and chemical resistance of coatings. Moreover, W8011 can be used for the polyol component of soft-feel coatings and gives excellent sunscreen lotion resistance.
VELOX will introduce Duranol W8011 at Surfex, taking place in Coventry from 22-23 May 2018. Asahi Kasei will be co-exhibitor sharing VELOX’ booth 112.
