What does this webinar cover?

Polyurethane coatings are one of the most important technologies in the industrial coatings market. Due to their excellent durability, they are widely used in protective and marine and metal applications. For many years, tin-based catalysts such as dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) were commonly used as crosslinkers in polyurethane reactions.

Crosslinking adds benefits to polyurethane coatings that include:

• Faster dry times
• Increased hardness
• Durability
• Abrasion resistance
• Water and solvent resistance

While a catalyst provides many benefits, it can sometimes negatively impact other performance properties such as pot life.

Following market trends and regulatory pressures, this presentation will go in-depth on how Borchers: A Milliken Brand catalyst technology can help replace tin-based catalysts without compromising performance in polyurethane coatings. 

We will expand upon the case studies that have been introduced in our tin alternative articles.
