Lubrizol launches Sancure 942, a high-performance, high-solids PUD offering superior wood coating protection and sustainability benefits.
Lubrizol has unveiled its latest advancement in polymer technology with the launch of a new water-borne, high-solids polyurethane dispersion (PUD) known as Sancure 942 Polyurethane Dispersion. This innovation is tailored specifically for high-performance wood coatings, targeting both residential and commercial wood floor finishes, as well as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) wood coating applications.
Sancure 942 is engineered to deliver exceptional protective qualities, including superior resistance to wear and enhanced chemical durability. It also provides strong adhesion to various substrates, making it a flexible solution across a range of surface types. Its high-solids formulation translates to greater surface coverage per volume, thereby reducing the number of coats required to achieve the desired finish. This leads to shorter application cycles and a faster return to service.
The performance of Sancure 942 is further elevated when used in combination with external crosslinkers, resulting in even greater durability and resistance properties. According to Israel Skoff, Technical Marketing Manager for Resin Technologies at Lubrizol, the product benefits every stakeholder in the coatings value chain. He explains that coating manufacturers will benefit from improved protective performance that can rival or even surpass traditional solvent-based products, along with the added advantage of reduced emissions during shipping due to lower water content in the formulation.
Contractors working with the product will appreciate its safety features and versatility, as it can be used effectively on multiple substrates and reduces the number of required applications. Additionally, end-users are likely to enjoy lower project costs, quicker job completion, and long-lasting coating performance.
Sancure 942 strengthens Lubrizol’s expanding portfolio of coating solutions that aim to deliver both environmental and functional value. By enabling the formulation of sustainable and high-performance coatings, Lubrizol helps manufacturers align with global sustainability goals without compromising on quality.
This latest innovation reflects Lubrizol's broader commitment to driving continuous improvement and pushing the boundaries of polymer and coating technology. The company continues to invest in products that meet the evolving needs of industries such as coatings, inks, and composites.
