Application

UNITHANE IC-151 NF polyurethane dispersion can be compounded for a number of industrial coating applications: including clear, hard coatings for plastics, untreated aluminum, treated steel and concrete floor coatings.. The performance of UNITHANE IC-151 NF can be further enhanced by blending with other Union polyurethane dispersions or by the use of external crosslinking like: polyfunctional aziridines, water dispersible isocyanates or polyfunctional carbodiimides.
