Water-borne Polyurethane Dispersions 

EPS 4203

EPS 4203 is a self-crosslinking polyurethane dispersion/acrylic polymer with excellent abrasion and stain resistance. Primary end uses are for wood substrates (except for commercial flooring), blending with acrylic emulsions, and plastics where alcohol and household stain resistance are important. This dispersion does not contain N-methyl pyrrolidone or reportable amounts of TEA. It is also a Prop. 65 compliant dispersion as it does not contain hydrazine.

EPS 4213

EPS 4213 is an oxidizing polyurethane dispersion designed to provide very fast dry, hardness development and chemical resistance. Primary end uses are for residential wood flooring and other wood substrates where alcohol and household chemical resistance are important. Addition of co-solvent is not required for film formation, but may be added for flow and leveling control. EPS 4213 contains metal driers and additional driers are not recommended.

VOC Exempt Oil-modified Urethanes 

EPS 4431

EPS 4431 is an oil modified urethane resin cut in PCBTF to allow very low VOC formulations. EPS 4431 is designed to provide very fast dry and excellent early hardness development. While additional PCBTF solvent can allow the formulation of very low (<5g/L) VOC varnishes, use of mineral spirits will give less lifting upon recoat and is recommended.

High-Solids Solvent Borne Uralkyds 

EPS 4843

EPS 4843 is a high solids, oil modified urethane. Coatings based on EPS 4843 provide excellent dry time, hardness and abrasion resistance making it an excellent choice for floor finishes. EPS 4843 can be formulated into 350 g/l finishes or blended with conventional solids oil modified urethanes and uralkyds to formulate 450g/l VOC varnishes.

EPS 4854

EPS 4854 is a high solids, uralkyd resin designed to provide improved through dry and hardness developement for compliant floor finishes. Its low viscosity makes EPS 4854 an ideal vehicle for maximum formulating latitude at low VOC.
