Application Study On The Performance Of Polyurethane Paint As A Green Coat Using Biobased Coconut Polyol Resin For Protective, Marine And Industrial Coatings

Time:2:30PM - 3:00PM
Location: Islander Ballroom C
Presenter: Luis G. Fernando
Company: Kemwerke Incorporated

Description:
This presentation will describe the performance properties of coconut based Bioresin in Polyurethane paint compared with a commercially available 2K-Polyurethane paint using acrylic/polyester polyol:resin - in terms of physical and corrosion properties under accelerated laboratory weather condition. The studies also showed the chemical resistance and protection from the discoloration effects of ultraviolet (UV) light on the painted metal panel substrate specifically cold rolled steel.
The developed Polyurethane Coatings were applied as a prime coat as well as a top coat. The painted panel was tested according to American Standards Tests Methods (ASTM) and Japan Standard Equipment – SUGA Dew Panel Light Control Weather Meter, Model DPWI-5R (ASTM G53 Type B) for QUV and weatherability. Results of test will be described in the presentation.
The studies primarily discuss the applicability of the Polyurethane Paint for protective (auto-refinish), marine and Industrial coatings. The result of one year exposure study on actual application performance will also be discussed.
The Polyurethane Coating describe is a “Green Coat” a product of innovation ,making use of renewable vegetable source-coconut-synthesizes to produce coconut based Bioresin.
The introduction of this study of the performance of Polyurethane Paint using Coconut based Bioresin is envisioned to provide an awareness of an environmental friendly and cost effective anti-corrosion, paint for use as a protective,(auto-refinish), marine and industrial coatings for the Coating Industry.
This study hope to generate interest and create an impact on the Coating Industry, related businesses and substantially make an impact in the environment.
