July 8, 2002—Eurotech, Ltd. has introduced A-HNIPU, a new acrylic-based addition to its Hybrid Non-Isocyanate Polyurethane (HNIPU) family of products.
The expanded HNIPU product line now includes epoxy and acrylic bases for paints, coatings, sealants and adhesives in addition to its HNIPU rigid and semi-rigid foam.
When A-HNIPU is incorporated into new formulations of advanced performance paints, coatings, sealants, adhesives and foams, the company believes the outcome will be superior performance for industrial applications. Initial test results indicate a high gloss, excellent adhesion, good hardness and chemical resistance.
“A-HNIPU has been designed to address specific industry needs. The HNIPU family of products, including A-HNIPU, has improved performance properties over standard polyurethane while eliminating health and safety issues associated with the use of isocyanates since it is an isocyanate-free product. Isocyanates are toxic. A-HNIPU production does not involve use of toxic isocyanates and therefore allows for a healthier workplace and greater industrial safety,” said Todd J. Broms, President and CEO. For more information, contact EuroTech.
