What is Urethane?

Urethane, also known as polyurethane, is a versatile polymer material widely used in various industries, including construction, automotive, furniture, and coatings. It is a type of synthetic resin that offers excellent durability, chemical resistance, and flexibility.

In the context of coatings and finishes, urethane refers to polyurethane coatings that provide a protective and decorative layer on surfaces. Urethane coatings are known for their high-performance characteristics, including resistance to abrasion, impact, chemicals, and UV radiation. They can be applied to various substrates such as wood, metal, concrete, and plastics to enhance their appearance and protect them from wear and tear.

Urethane is available in different forms, including liquid coatings, spray coatings, and brushable coatings. It can be applied as a clear topcoat to preserve the natural beauty of the underlying material or as a pigmented coating to provide color and additional protection.
