Abstract:
Polyurethanes have become one of the most used elements for different types of industries due to their adaptability. In this half century they have gone from being a rubber replacement to be an element of multiple utilities such as adhesives, paintings, textile fibers, automotive components ... This work will focus on a high-performance polyurethane coating for industrial use, so we will start from a product made by the EcopolTech company with hydrophobic, oleophobic, anti-graffiti and anti-dirt characteristics. The main objective will be to provide the product with an improvement in the final aspect, to study the possible variations that derive from the substitution of raw materials and solvents. Lastly, viability of the product’s industrial scaling will be studied.
