A research team has developed a novel crosslinked waterborne polyurethane (CWPU) coating, which significantly enhances abrasion resistance. This dual crosslinking structure results in a marked increase in mechanical properties and wear resistance of the coating. These findings highlight the potential of the CWPU-0.5 coating as a highly effective solution for applications requiring superior abrasion resistance. Event tip: PolyurethanesOn March 20, 2025, the Online EC Short Course “Polyurethane Coatings” will explore the high performance and versatility of polyurethane coatings, which are widely used in automotive, aerospace, and construction. The research indicates that CWPU coatings, particularly those formulated with 0.5 % BBTDA, represent a significant advancement in the development of abrasion-resistant, waterborne polyurethane coatings.
