Lubrizol Introduces New PUD Technology for Outstanding Wood Coating Protection

Cleveland, Ohio – Lubrizol is proud to announce, as part of its continued dedication to polymer technology innovation, the availability of a new water-borne, high-solids polyurethane dispersion (PUD) that enables the formulation of advanced, high-performance wood coatings.

Sancure™ 942 Polyurethane Dispersion is a versatile, new polymer designed for residential and commercial wood floor finishes and OEM wood coatings. It brings excellent protection from wear, good chemical resistance properties for enhanced durability and robust adhesion to multiple substrates, making it suitable for multiple applications.

As a high-solids product, it enables formulations that provide more coverage per volume, which reduces the number of applications required for desired performance and faster return to service. The performance features of Sancure 942 Polyurethane Dispersion are further enhanced when used with external crosslinkers.

“The entire value chain will experience benefits”, shares Israel Skoff, technical marketing manager, resin technologies. “Coating manufacturers will see protection capabilities that outperform many solvent-borne predecessors as well as reduced shipping emissions due to the lower levels of water. Contractors will experience efficiency and safety with a versatile product for multiple substrates and a safer product that requires fewer coats. End-users will appreciate reduced job cost, faster return to service, and outstanding durability.”

Sancure 942 Polyurethane Dispersion joins a growing portfolio of coating technologies from Lubrizol that enables formulators to meet their sustainability initiatives while enhancing the performance of their products. 

Sancure™ 942 High Solids Waterborne Polyurethane Dispersion

Sancure™ 942 is a polyester-based polyurethane dispersion designed for use in one-component (1K) residential and commercial floor finishes, as well as OEM applications. This high-solids, NMP-free polyurethane dispersion is engineered to deliver exceptional wear properties, adhesion, and chemical resistance. The performance characteristics of Sancure™ 942 can be further enhanced with the addition of external crosslinkers, such as carbodiimides, aziridi nes, and isocyanates. Supplied as a coalescing solventfree polymer, Sancure™ 942 may require formulation with cosolvents to achieve optimal film formation.
